What Georgia’s Medicaid Work Requirement Tells Us About the Costs of the “Big Beautiful Bill”

#NASA Administrator Bill #Nelson on Friday called for an investigation into a Wall Street Journal report that #SpaceX founder and Donald #Trump ally Elon #Musk and Russian President Vladimir #Putin have been in “regular contact” since late 2022.

The report raises national security concerns as SpaceX’s relationships with NASA and the #US military may have granted Musk access to sensitive government information and US intelligence.

Yes! Nobody could have imagined, much less predicted that.

#Obama's election threw #White #Christians into apoplectic rage, paving the way for #TeaParty, #NewtGingrich, and the #religious #FarRight, culminating in #MAGA and #Trump

#GOP

That captures the sorry state of much of #MSM when it comes to #DonaldTrump and #Election2024

Real #journalism requires practioners to ask every member of the #GOP to clarify whether they are in alignment with the #VerminSpeech

Real #journalists do not accept the usual evasive tactics utilized by pols in evading hard questions by attempting to run the clock down because of the tyranny of time slots

No moving on or spinning away without answering the question

This is one reason why the #GOP wants to ban books. They do not want Americans to experience what Sagan refers to as "binding people together who never knew each other".

The GOP wants Americans to feel isolated and fearful of anyone "other" than themselves. It's much easier to exploit people so full of fear that they can't think straight. People who are calm and feel secure are much harder to manipulate, because they can take the time to think things through.

So, "getting shot on the job" is now an "assumed risk" for U.S. school teachers when they take the job?

What an F'ed up country we're becoming under #GOP control.
