We have a full-blown legitimate battle here in America. We could point at all sorts of efforts to further & deepen the battle, or point out efforts to end the battle. But thanking the people who spend their “armchair” time informing us while the MSM fails us is a good thing to do.
The committee was stacked. We only need a few Congressional Republicans to have shared government.
We need to encourage Don Bacon R. NE. and other Republicans who are standing up to Trump and MAGA Mike. He and Reps. David Valadao, R-Calif., Don Bacon, R-Neb., Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., Rob Bresnahan Jr., R-Pa., Juan Ciscomani, R-Ariz., Jen Kiggans, R-Va., Young Kim, R-Calif., Robert Wittman, R-Va., Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., Nick LaLota, R-N.Y., Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., and Jeff Hurd, R-Colo signed a letter:
“Many hospitals — particularly in rural and underserved areas — rely heavily on Medicaid funding, with some receiving over half their revenue from the program alone,” the representatives wrote. “Providers in these areas are especially at risk of closure, with many unable to recover. When hospitals close, it affects all constituents, regardless of healthcare coverage.”
Besides the Medicaid issue, Republican Reps have called out Trump/Musk on national security and tariffs.
On MSNBC Saturday, Velshi asked Bacon about tariffs. He said, in essence, any Reagan Republican would remove Trump tariff authority. To do that, they need all of the House Dems.
Plus Bacon said Trump has a "moral blindscape" re Ukraine. Retired General. Russia is not a superpower. Mexico with nuclear weapons.
Says anyone who served has to oppose Hegseth, SIGNAL.
Says we are better than any other country in agriculture. Says Trump has broken free trade. In essence, we are losing the trade war.
I continue to say the entire GOP is just as responsible for the mess we are in as trump. I am hoping your note sort of proves me wrong. Especially the part about then calling out trumpmusk on national security and tariffs. I will be checking out the jerry weiss substack. This is info I can use....thank you very much!
Lucy pulled the first football. As predicted. The second one is coming. Wait for it, Charlie Brown. All the wish casting in the world won't change that.
I want only to say that your comment about the Palestinian children who will never see their lives unfold, let alone the adults and elders whose lives have been up(ended) is certainly worthy of reflection and statement. I watched Al Jazeera news yesterday and the images being broadcast from Gaza made me writhe in sickness. In contrast, the news clips of Trump's visit to Saudi made me writhe in a different kind of sickness.
You are being accused here of being a "bot" and a "magot" - but whatever you are or are not, your statement expresses how utterly F'd up the world is.
Trump and his daughter Tiffany's husband convinced so many Arab Americans in Michigan to vote for dump. He turned his back on them the minute he swore the oath to defend a Constitution he hadn't read and knows nothing about. He cares less than those Arab lives in Gaza than the dog shit he just stepped in. (Is that the smell, Oh! No!)
The lives in Gaza that continue to be lost, the abhorrent behavior of Netanyahu and his cronies will not stop until the Palestinians take charge of themselves and stop waiting for other Arab nations to care about them. Israelis have proved time and again that the only way to save yourself is to take charge of yourself and stop wasting time, energy and resources in hatred and anger and work for self determination.
News Flash: that DOESN'T include murdering innocent's and babies in their cribs any more than the Israelis doing that to the Gazans does!
The only hope for a lasting peace in the Middle East is for
1) Palestinians recognize Israel's right to exist and the historical records that Arabs and Jews have shared that land for millennia.
2) Palestinians organize around leaders acting in good faith for peace (there are pockets of such people but in truth, Netanyahu has been working to destroy them as well as Arab bad actors
3) enough people on both sides demand what the European nations, the Ukrainian, and the hundreds of thousands of Americans are doing right now: demand truth, accountability, decency, a deep dedication to the betterment for their people. And lastly,
4) enough of the Palestine population to stop their self-sabotage and actually, truly, want a peace that is not beholden to rogue states like Iran powered by Russia and declare their own human rights.
Until those elements exist not only in voice but in actual deed, there will be no peace.
So stop blaming the Democrats, Biden and even Netanyahu.
For good or I'll, people get the government they deserve. You want better? Make it happen and stop bitching.
How about Israel recognizing the right of Palestinians to exist? We can't let Trump take over Gaza only to turn it into his real estate development and playground.
You're right about that I was just thinking that apparently Israelis are getting the government they deserve as well. That's tough for me to say. I was almost one of them 40+ years ago when my life suddenly took a different direction. They need to find a way to get rid of Netanyahu, and that's going to be tough. It already has been tough. There are demonstrations daily all over the country. A major problem is, they don't have a constitution, unlike us. There is not that balance of power codified. Of course, the Palestinians haven't gotten anywhere near that far.
I've watched this my whole life. It breaks my heart every day.
Happy Birthday Ben❣️❣️You should stand tall because your efforts have played a huge role in America surviving this brutal battle.
I second that!

7 Republican senators cosporsored the bill that would strip him of tariff authority.
We need to pressure them. Picket, sit in. Pressure their donos.

Are you paid? This may be our last chance.

Not true, China did not airdrop food to Gaza. In a training mission they flew over Giza. Look it up!
