Trump Will End Subsidies for Medicare Drug Premiums
Millions of older Americans could pay more for their prescription drug coverage next year.

Pretty sure the Venn diagram of lawmakers trying to pass the SAVE Act insisting on identification, and the lawmakers who fought the COVID vaccine mandates barring folks from going to concerts, is just one big circle.

History doesn’t become untrue just because an administration doesn’t like it. In order for us to grow as a nation and truly become the more perfect union the founders aspired to, we must learn from our past - the good, the bad, and the ugly. www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/0...

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

This is disgusting and unacceptable. President Trump withheld much-needed funding for education, energy projects, healthcare, housing, and infrastructure from states that didn't vote for him in 2024. Federal funding should not be subject to political vendettas. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him
Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.
