Veterans health care is one of those programs.
I hope Vets for trump are ready tonight lose their benefits.
We shouldn’t let the government spend money on programs that have expired. Yet that’s exactly what happens today: half a *trillion* dollars of taxpayer funds ($516 B+) goes each year to programs which Congress has allowed to expire. There are 1,200+ programs that are no longer authorized but still receive appropriations. This is totally nuts. We can & should save hundreds of billions each year by defunding government programs that Congress no longer authorizes. We’ll challenge any politician who disagrees to defend the other side.

The American public, who paid his salary, deserve to know.
New: Republicans on House Ethics have canceled their meeting tomorrow with Dems that was expected to address the long-awaited report on Matt Gaetz
The GOP members huddled privately Thursday night. Those lawmakers declined to comment as they left the meeting

Late decider, Encyclopedia Brendanica, 28 1/2, peach, slacker, voted for Biden in 2020
I voted for Trump. I have chickens but eggs were just too expensive. It was a last minute decision made last year.

Same old story. Boring.
So much drama. So much “Oh my God!” only to bend over when it’s confirmation time and give Trump what he wants. Yawn.
Republicans, please stop the excited utterances about what Trump did, or might do. He told you. Spare us your shock at his nominating Matt Gaetz,Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Hegseth,—why would you expect anyone less sycophantic or loyal to him? He told you.
You sacrificed your country upon the altar of your own fears, ambitions and inadequacies for a two-bit wannabe “dictator”. He told you.
Spare us your lamentations.

This. They pushed out the most progressive POTUS since FDR. Biden wasn’t a media darling in 2020 either. I lay blame on them.
To the Pod Save guys, The Bulwark, Jon Stewart, Medhi Hasan, etc. You guys spent a month in the middle of the most important election of our lives TORCHING THE GUY WHO GOT YOU 81 MILLION VOTES.
You have NEVER seen Republicans do that to Trump. Even after 34 felonies.
You ensured your own loss. Stop passing the blame around and look in a mirror.

I was called the enemy within and threstened with prison but it's my job to let bygones be bygones?
No.
This is heartbreaking. I have family members solidly on both sides. I can’t imagine never speaking to them again over something so stupid as politics. And we’ve had some fiery discussions! But family relationships are so much more important than temporary elected leaders.

I'm prepared to do more than protest.
"There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest" -Elie Wiesel
"Trump and his political party will see this election as an overwhelming mandate to institute the whole MAGA agenda. That will cause a lot of chaos and public immiseration, though unevenly distributed. It will begin to drive its own public backlash. Much of the establishment media and corporate America will try to get along and go along. But some will chronicle and enumerate the toll. And within that maelstrom we will all have to decide, individually and collectively, what we’re going to do about it." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog…

I've been saying this since he started talking about deportation camps. There will be a final solution and MAGA will turn a blind eye if not join in.
Why yes, actually. This is what the Nazis ran into and why they turned to mass murder in gas chambers instead.
I spent the last four years studying the Nazis. I am ready for this moment at least.

The trumps stole money from kids with cancer
Taylor Swift wrote a song about my son, Ronan, after he died of cancer. She put me on as a co-writer, and donated the proceeds directly to pediatric cancer -no strings, no hidden motives, just pure compassion and integrity.
In stark contrast, the Trump family engaged in significant fundraising efforts for children with cancer through the Eric Trump Foundation. However, reports later revealed that funds were used to pay Trump-owned properties for hosting fundraising events, raising concerns about conflicts of interest and self-dealing. What could have been a mission solely dedicated to supporting children in need became tainted by financial practices that appeared to benefit the Trump Organization, casting a shadow over the charitable intentions initially claimed.
This election is a no-brainer. It’s a choice between compassion and corruption, between someone like Kamala Harris, who has spent her career fighting for justice, and Trump, who has exploited the vulnerable at every turn. Kamala has consistently shown a commitment to supporting communities and ensuring people’s rights are protected, while Trump and his family have even stooped to taking funds meant for children with cancer.
If integrity, empathy, and basic decency matter, then this choice couldn’t be clearer. Supporting Kamala and her values means standing up for the kind of future where compassion isn’t just talk—it’s action. We owe it to ourselves and to the next generation to reject self-interest and stand on the right side of history.
