I'M PAYING A WHOLE HOUSE MORTGAGE JUST FOR HEALTH INSURANCE.
Look at my 'low premium' HDHP plan for 2027 (just me and my wife, no kids):
• $2,271 a month ($27,254 a year)
• A brutal $7,600 deductible
That is $34,854 out of pocket before Cigna even covers a single medical bill. If we don't go to the doctor, they just pocket $27k of pure profit.
Just slap a 10% Medicare tax on us and call it a day. The American privatized healthcare racket is an absolute abomination.

Why on earth did the Trump Administration pay $495.6 MILLION for a vacant prison in Minnesota when the company selling it had offered to sell the SAME prison to the state for just $75 million the year before?
Are you telling me that American taxpayers may have overpaid by $420 MILLION? Because, to me, it sure looks like the Trump Administration paid more than SIX TIMES the previous asking price.
And by the way, the company that sold the prison, CoreCivic, donated $500,000 to Trump’s inauguration.
I’ll let you draw your own conclusions here, but anyone with eyes can see that this is an absurd waste of taxpayer dollars and that something shady is going on here.
"New records obtained by KARE 11 show the company that owned a vacant private prison in Appleton, Minnesota offered to sell it to the state in 2025 for $75 million.
One year later, the Trump administration agreed to use taxpayer funds to buy the same abandoned prison from CoreCivic, Inc., for $495.6 million.
The price difference, $420 million, is more than taxpayers are estimated to have lost in Minnesota’s much-publicized Feeding Our Future fraud scandal." kare11.com/article/news/inve…

It's really wild that judges are writing opinions that are like "Trump is trying to violate the Constitution as it pertains to elections in our country" and it won't get a fraction of the coverage that Obama's Cheesecake Factory jab received. 🙃

NEW: OpenAI's president gave Trump $25 million. Trump moved to block state AI regulation.
UnitedHealth gave $5 million. Trump doubled their Medicare Advantage pay increase.
It all happens through MAGA Inc. and oligarchs are spending big to defend their cash cow this election.

When costs are up and profits are steady, that’s inflation.
When costs are up and profits are up, that’s price gouging.
The two largest U.S. oil companies, ExxonMobil and Chevron, report blowout profits that easily beat expectations as oil prices remain sharply elevated because of the U.S. war with Iran. nbcnews.com/business/energy/…

That American citizens are significantly less likely to receive disaster relief if they live in states that didn't vote for the regime in power should be treated as a major scandal.

It must be much worse than we can imagine. Trumps own national security officials are warning lawmakers across the country of the possibility that Trump may interfere in the election.
The alarm bells are blaring.🚨
A small group of U.S. national security officials has been discreetly advising state and congressional lawmakers on how to prepare for the possibility that the Trump administration will attempt to interfere in the midterms, according to people involved. wapo.st/3WjVke5

There is a very disturbing trend being seen in early voting. Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio are reporting difficulties getting the machines to accept democratic votes. The machines change them back to Republican unless the voter persists, pressing several times to get the correct vote to go through.
Check your machine, check to see that it accepted the correct vote. Make sure your voice counts.

One day, kids will study Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Vladimir Putin the same way we studied Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong.

New Talarico ad running statewide:
"Ken Paxton says, I don't have his experience, and he's right.
"I've never been indicted for fraud. I've never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I've never been impeached by my own party, and I've never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.
"I have a different kind of experience. I've worked with both parties to cap the cost of insulin and pass the largest property tax cut in Texas history. I'm James Tallarico and I approve this message because we need a different kind of experience in Washington."
