This is what the Trump admin is focused on today while you pay more for everything because of his war and tariffs.

JD Vance announced the suspension of $1.3 billion in Medicaid payments to California as part of his new role as "fraud czar" for the Trump Regime.

Meanwhile, Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC.

Remember this.

Dear friends, this is a special post for me. 😸
I know it might feel a bit early, since we’re only in May… but the first purr.in.ink calendars are finally a thing, and I’m very happy to share them with you. 🐾🤍

400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming
Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

If Pamela Jo Bondi won't disseminate evidence of Donald Trump's horrible crimes, we can.

Below is the declaration of one of his victims. She alleges that when she was 13 years old, Trump repeatedly raped and beat her. Trump also threatened her and her family with death if she told anyone.

Donald Trump is handing nearly a billion dollars in taxpayer money to stop a job-creating, clean power-generating wind farm from being built off the East Coast.

He is putting America in reverse and selling us out to his Big Oil donors.
Breaking News: The Trump administration will pay a French energy giant nearly $1 billion to abandon its plans to build wind farms off the East Coast.

In exchange, the French company TotalEnergies would invest in oil and natural gas projects in Texas and elsewhere.

Keep in mind that Pete Hegseth's reported Pentagon spending spree happened just months after Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to the social safety net in exchange for huge tax cuts for the rich.

And defense spending may soon hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Priorities.

I’d love it if one the bigger accounts amplify this? Feels like a big deal for service members and spouses that the Army is cutting off obgyn services in literally the last week of pregnancy …. @klobuchar.senate.gov @baldwin.senate.gov @ocasio-cortez.house.gov @katmabu.bsky.social
Just saw this on another platform. Overseas military folks getting prenatal care are being told that the ‘host nation’ must provide this, but only after 36 weeks (just shy of 9 months). Landstuhl is not remotely a hardship tour. I think we all know what’s going on here.

I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.
During freezing temperatures in Port Arthur, Texas, a 61-year-old homeless man was found dead in his wheelchair outside a convenience store.

He was wearing a hospital gown and no shoes. Authorities say he had been released from a hospital the previous day.

This is a diseased society.
