Lindsey Graham offers up delusional defense of Trump following historic indictment
The Trump lackey laughably suggested the treasonous ex-president would emerge stronger from last week's damning criminal indictment. When backed into a corner, Graham cried, "I'm not saying [Trump's actions are] OK," then immediately returned to absolving Donald of his many, obvious crimes. Oh, also — and of course — But. Her. Emails! [RETWEET THAT!]

More than 725,000 kicked off Medicaid rolls by "redeterminations"
The number of Americans losing crucial healthcare is growing daily, with some estimates suggesting as many as 17 MILLION could eventually lose Medicaid coverage as states — mostly red, mostly Republican — roll back pandemic-era policies ensuring continuous coverage and ramp up disenrollment efforts. Buried in the data is one particularly appalling detail — the majority of those losing healthcare haven't been determined ineligible, rather, they're being dumped for procedural reasons.

Trump ramps up wild, deranged attacks on justice system as historic court date approaches
The disgraced ex-president called on his supporters to take to the streets during a phone interview with longtime crony and fellow crook, Roger Stone. "We have plenty of protest to protest," the accused rapist and traitor cried. Unfortunately for Donald, the United States has plenty of laws to law, many of which he has broken. Repeatedly.

Trump fat-shames ex-Attorney General Bill Barr for calling indictment "very damning"
The accused rapist and traitor did what he truly does best — resorting to vindictive personal appearance attacks — after erstwhile ally and enabler Bill Barr dared to defend the Justice Department's actions in Trump's stolen documents debacle. “I think he’s more weak than anything else. And now he goes and he sits down and — if they can find a chair for him, because it’s not that easy — and he sits down and he just bloviates and it’s disgraceful," the disgraced ex-president, um, bloviated.

Today’s Action: Support Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers on strike!
Union members at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have been on strike for more than SEVEN months — the longest newspaper strike in decades — demanding better healthcare and proper wages. While their strike has yet to yield compassionate action from their employers, an administrative judge justly ruled in the union’s favor four months ago, castigating Post-Gazette executives who “negotiated in bad faith, unlawfully imposed working conditions, and illegally surveilled workers engaged in union activities.” National Labor Relations Board Judge Geoffrey Carter’s ruling could award the newspaper’s employees as much as $4 million in collective backpay, a potentially huge win for labor. It also compels that management bargain in good faith and reinstate the mutually negotiated union contract from 2017.
The heartless, greedy, unlawful moves made by the Post-Gazette’s owners — and Jan. 6 insurrection supporters, it should be noted — stripped employees of crucial benefits and rightful earnings (remember that $4 million?). Unsurprisingly, the paper has yet to make any of these issues right, and the union needs our unwavering solidarity until they do.
Donate to the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh’s strike solidarity fund to match the union-busting bonuses being pocketed by people crossing the picket line! While you’re at it, sign the guild’s petition to have the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s insurrectionist co-owner Allan Block removed from the board of directors of C-SPAN!
