Demand the GOP repeal Trump’s catastrophic Medicaid cuts before it's too late!

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump gets the news he feared from his OWN party on Epstein
With the swearing in of Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva yesterday — which only took Speaker Mike Johnson seven goddamn weeks to get around to — the House floodgates have officially opened. Grijalva's was the final signature needed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files, and Trump is now bracing for as many as 100 Republicans to jump ship and vote in favor, what with history watching and all. The imminent vote is teeing up an epic showdown between Congress and an executive branch that has ZERO interest in exposing the late sex trafficker's notorious pedophile ring, for reasons we can only assume are very, very, very not good.

Marjorie Taylor Greene warns White House that "gaslighting" on affordability is "infuriating" voters
The rift that has opened between Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene is one the more unexpected — and, if we're being honest, enjoyable — plot twists of the year. Earlier this week Trump accused Greene of losing her way for calling out his regime's steadfast indifference to runaway cost-of-living expenses, which are squeezing tens of millions of ordinary Americans at a time when the 1% are enjoying an even more obscene embarrassment of riches. Greene was in no mood for Donald's tongue-lashing, and warned the White House yesterday that his "gaslighting" on affordability was a recipe for disaster in next year's midterms, when she and every other member of the House will face the ire of an infuriated and cash-strapped electorate. Something tells us Trump ain't listening to Marge on this one.

MAGA extremist and billionaire lapdog Greg Abbott launches re-election run
Gina Hinojosa for Texas: Greg Abbott has become a national figure for his astonishing mismanagement, breathtaking corruption, and shocking cruelty. He’s the man who stripped Medicaid from two millions Texans, most of them kids. He’s the man who has spent years trying to privatize our public school systems and funneled a billion taxpayer dollars into the pockets of his donors. He’s the man who refused to use state money to feed kids during the SNAP freeze. Former school board president Gina Hinojosa is running to put an end to Abbott’s depravity once and for all. Will you chip in to help her take advantage of Abbott’s barrel-bottom 32% (!) approval rating?

SNAP recipients crushed by Democrats caving on shutdown: "They just wasted it all"
The abdication of duty by the eight so-called "moderate" Senate Democrats in the government shutdown fight is coming into fuller focus, and the picture is a terribly unflattering one. After holding the line — and asking tens of millions of vulnerable Americans to do the same — for more than 40 days, Democrats abruptly forfeited their one piece of leverage and threw in the towel, handing Trump a PR victory he neither earned nor deserved. As a result, tens of millions of Americans are projected to see their premiums skyrocket in January, and an estimated 7.8 million low-income Americans will outright lose their insurance through Medicaid. And for what? That's a question a LOT of people are asking right now. The Intercept spoke with four SNAP recipients who said they’re furious that Democrats squandered the sacrifice they made for the last month to ensure access to healthcare for millions of Americans — just as voters rewarded the party for finally fighting back against Republicans with major electoral victories last week. "We sacrificed and we would continue to sacrifice because we understood what the stakes were. People’s healthcare was at stake," said Delight Worthyn, 67, a SNAP recipient with lupus living in New Haven, Connecticut. "And that they would cave for nothing after we have all gone through this. … I only feel betrayed." Yeah, it's not a good look, folks.

Trump regime adds tens of thousands to ICE as anti-immigrant crusade marches on
The larger economy might be hemorrhaging jobs at a troubling clip under Trump's chaotic stewardship, but for anyone interested in cosplay bounty hunting, well, the eating's good. The Trump regime has reportedly brought on 50,000 new federal workers, mostly at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while slashing the ranks of federal workers at other agencies. "It’s about reshaping the workforce to focus on the priorities that we think are most important," Trump's human resources director, Scott Kupor, said. Namely, ripping families apart and disappearing Black and Brown-skinned people for the crime of being born in the wrong geographical coordinates.

Trump teases signed $2,000 "tariff rebate checks" in new fundraising emails
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Donald's latest fundraising email hit Americans' inboxes earlier this week with a curious subject line: "I've got a $2,000 question for you..." The question? "Would you take a TARIFF rebate check signed by yours truly?" The email laughably calls the query a "mandatory poll" and, wouldn't you know it, responding takes participants to a page asking for cash donations to fight the "ultra libs in Congress" who are "trying to hold up your rebate check." Huh, paying money today to get your hands on a mythical rebate check somewhere down the line? Quick question: is Donald's fundraising operation being run by a Nigerian prince?

JD Vance says he plans to "sit down with" Trump and "talk to him" about running for president in 2028
Oh, to be a fly on the gold-crusted wall when that conversation goes down. How, exactly, does a duplicitous sociopath blinded by ambition go about make that sales pitch to a wannabe dictator who's spent the better part of the year teasing an unconstitutional third term, complete with "Trump 2028" hats on display in his makeshift White House merch store?

"You want to go back to the jungle?" Elon Musk’s dad says US is "doomed" if whites become the minority
During an eye-popping interview with CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan, an incredulous Errol Musk took a stab at rewriting British history, casting European colonizers not as oppressors, but rather as great saviors who gifted millions of inferior native Africans with a superior culture and the eternal blessings of subjugation. Errol will also have you know he lived in South Africa for decades and never personally witnessed or experienced any oppression as a result of Apartheid. Gee, wonder why? Errol wasn't finished. America, in his opinion, is "doomed" should whites eventually become the minority. "You want to go back to the jungle?" he asked. Great replacement theory horseshit aside, are we honestly supposed to believe that Elon Musk, the Sieg-Heiling man-toddler currently on pace to become the first trillionaire in human history, is not a toxic offshoot of this malignant lunatic? Elon's own flirtations with white supremacy are well-documented, and after listening to Errol for even a few minutes, it's pretty easy to see where he gets it. That rotten apple did not fall far from the tree.

Top Fannie Mae officials ousted after sounding alarm on Trump appointees sharing confidential housing data
A confidant of Bill Pulte, the Trump regime's top housing regulator, provided confidential mortgage pricing data from Fannie Mae to a principal competitor, alarming senior officials of the government-backed lending giant who warned it could expose the company to claims that it was colluding with a rival to fix mortgage rates. For their ethical commitment to professionalism and the rule of law, the two senior Fannie Mae officials who blew the whistle were promptly forced out of their jobs, along with internal ethics watchdogs who were investigating Pulte and his MAGA allies. It is so good to be great again.
