Putting a FedEx executive in charge of its competitor, the Postal Service, is exactly the kind of corrupt move we’ve come to expect from this Administration. I was glad DeJoy left, but this guy seems hand-picked to gut USPS.
FedEx donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund. Now, a FedEx board member has been named postmaster general.

When Trump took office, there was a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, hostages were being released, and aid was getting into Gaza. Now, none of that is true. The blockage of aid is causing a humanitarian crisis in Gaza and Israel is readying a long-term occupation of the Strip.

This is a great illustration of why wholly unqualified extremists shouldn't be running essential government agencies.
MURRAY: It was due last week. By law. PATEL: I understand. MURRAY: You're not gonna follow the law? ... And you have no timeline? PATEL: No MURRAY: Hmm. We're not having a budget hearing without a budget request. So where is it?
A joyous day for Catholics across the globe, but especially those here in the United States who are seeing the first American Pope. I’m hopeful that Pope Leo XIV can continue the legacy of Pope Francis by encouraging selflessness, humility and service to the world’s poorest and most marginalized.
Making it harder for sick people to receive health care saves money... by keeping people sick. If they can't afford to go to the doctor, we don't have to pay for it. That's R's logic. Reality check: Cutting coverage doesn't cut sickness.
R's: We're going to cut Medicaid D's: People will lose their health insurance. R's: Liars! CBO: Actually, yeah, people will. A lot of people, in fact. Millions.
GOP Plans To Cut Medicaid Would Kick Millions Off Health Insurance, New Analysis Says

One of the 100K+ people who lost their health insurance when Missouri slashed Medicaid in 2005 was a woman working a $6.70/hour McDonald’s job. Her ~$300/week pay put her over the stricter income limits despite supporting 3 kids. Now, congressional GOP are considering cuts that could be bigger...
If Congress cuts $880 billion from Medicaid, Missouri could face a yearly shortfall of $2 billion. An early 2000s budget gap of about $2.4 billion prompted the state to drop 100,000 people from Medicaid. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
I’m prepared to fight with every tool at my disposal to stop this effort and to protect the Boundary Waters for future generations.
By including this language in their big budget bill, they have made it clear they don’t care about the science or the data, which shows unequivocally that this type of mining poses an unacceptable risk.
Republicans in Congress are trying to give a foreign conglomerate full permission to build a copper-nickel sulfide mine right on the doorstep of the Boundary Waters watershed and irreversibly pollute this pristine wilderness.
NEW LEGISLATION RISKS IRREVERSIBLE POLLUTION OF THE BOUNDARY WATERS 


House Republican legislation includes language to sell out the Boundary Waters to a foreign mining conglomerate
Energy Star has saved *half a trillion dollars* since it started, so this is only going to make you pay more for energy – and they know that. They know this will raise your costs, but it helps their buddies in the oil and gas industry, who donate big money to their campaigns.

"I've been working on Social Security for 50 years. It's gone through wars and pandemics. It has never seen a threat like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Frank Bisignano, the nominee to be commissioner. There's never been a more important time to speak up." - Nancy Altman
Republicans want to cut disability programs to give billionaires more tax breaks. Not on our watch. Disability rights are human rights. Period.
