Vermont tried it. Democratic governor, law signed in 2011. The bill arrived in 2014: an 11.5% payroll tax plus up to 9.5% income tax. He cancelled it himself. "Universal" is the slogan. The tax rate is the policy. So, @PattyMurray: what's the rate?
Republicans’ health care strategy is ‘death by a thousand cuts.’ Democrats have to be more than the party of a thousand band-aids. It’s way past time we get to universal health care in America.

Hey @GovRonDeSantis — Florida skies looking real “natural” today. 7 perfect lines like a geometry class in the clouds. What’s the lesson plan here, weather control or sky art? ☁️✈️

¿Y los millones del chavismo lavándose en Brickell, Coral Gables y Doral? ¿Esos se pueden quedar, congresista @RepMariaSalazar? No use a Venezuela para hacer teatro en Washington, mientras los cómplices del chavismo invierten en su distrito sin consecuencias. @SecRubio
"Chevron se tiene que ir. ¿Que se quieren ganar unos pesos más en Venezuela? Eso es problema de ellos, nosotros no nos vamos a vender". Ya la congresista @RepMariaSalazar nos lo dijo ayer en #Exclusiva Lucía absolutamente convencida que Trump mantendría su palabra de suspender la licencia a Chevron, y así evitar que continuara financiando al régimen de Maduro. Hace minutos, el @SecRubio confirma la información que ella compartió con nosotros, y adelantó que la licencia de Chevron se vence el 27 de mayo como estaba previsto, en medio de rumores de negociación que vaticinaban lo contrario. Tienen la entrevista completa en mi canal YouTube: youtube.com/live/-sxlMbLM28o

Pero el dinero sucio del chavismo en Miami… ese sí se queda calladita, ¿verdad? Usted no está defendiendo a Venezuela. Está defendiendo su silla, su micrófono y su circo de postureo político. – Mientras usted grita contra Chevron, constructores, banqueros y abogados en su propio distrito lavan millones del chavismo en Brickell, Coral Gables y Doral. – Ni una sola denuncia. Ni una investigación. Ni una audiencia. – El régimen no se sostiene por Chevron. Se sostiene por el dinero que entra a Florida con la bendición de bufetes, bancos y políticos cobardes… como usted. Usted no es valiente. Es otra pieza del sistema que lucra del dolor ajeno mientras se vende como “la voz del exilio.” @RepCarlos @SecRubio @SenRickScott @GOPoversight @RepJamesComer @AGPamBondi @alexotaola

Hey @GovRonDeSantis & @FLHSMV - This isn’t a DMV. It’s a taxpayer-funded collapse. Appointments are a joke. No order. No enforcement. No respect. Just crowds, chaos, and bureaucrats shrugging behind bulletproof glass. It’s a third-world DMV with American flags taped to the wall.

GOP Outrage Theater: Harvard Edition @EliseStefanik is thundering about Harvard’s “moral rot” and demanding to “Defund Harvard” over rampant campus antisemitism , strong words on cue. But here’s the problem: after all the performative fury, Harvard’s still laughing its way to the bank with our tax dollars. We’ve seen this act before. Grandstanding press conferences, fiery TV soundbites, hashtags flying… and then nothing changes. Harvard’s federal gravy train? Still chugging along. (Reminder: Harvard sits on a $50 billion endowment, so a few threatened cuts won’t make it sweat anyway.) Stefanik, a Harvard alum herself, knows the outrage playbook well: talk tough, deliver little. Just like past @GOP promises to “repeal Obamacare” or crack down on Big Tech censorship, the pattern is all talk, no follow-through. Yes, Harvard absolutely should be held to account for failing its Jewish students. But where’s the action behind the GOP’s anger? Where is the bill to actually pull Harvard’s funding? Where are the real consequences beyond cable news segments? The truth (Veritas!) is that @HouseGOP leaders aren’t backing up their big words with big deeds, and Harvard’s elites know it. Memo to GOP leadership: outrage is not a policy. If you can’t move beyond performative anger to real accountability, then step aside. America’s tired of hollow theatrics. Stop funding the institutions you claim to condemn, or admit it’s all for show. Voters are watching, and if the GOP won’t walk the walk, maybe it’s time to find leaders who will. @SenateGOP
.@RepStefanik: "Schools are not entitled to U.S. taxpayer dollars if they're not living up to the standards and not protecting civil rights of Jewish students on campuses... Harvard has been the epitome of this failure."

If the Chief Justice of the United States is privately collaborating with a known anti-Trump operative like Norm Eisen, that’s not just a “bad look” - it’s a direct threat to judicial integrity. John Roberts owes the American people an explanation or his resignation. This isn’t impartial. This is lawfare from the bench. @JudiciaryGOP @RepJimJordan @SenTedCruz @GOPoversight - It’s time to investigate.
🚨 RESIGN ROBERTS: Chief Justice John Roberts’ relationship with anti-Trump operative Norm Eisen is pure judicial bias. Roberts spent a week at Eisen’s 150-room Prague palace, where they worked on American and European rule of law issues while Roberts has been Chief Justice. This collaboration is suspicious given Eisen’s history as a key architect of anti-Trump lawfare. Eisen, U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic (2011-2014), led Trump’s 1st impeachment in 2019 as special counsel, drafting 10 articles of impeachment a month before the Ukraine inquiry even began. He co-founded the States United Democracy Center, which sued to block Trump’s 2024 run in Colorado, citing the 14th Amendment over January 6, and filed ethics complaints against Trump allies John Eastman and Jenna Ellis for their 2020 election challenges. Eisen also chaired CREW (2016-2019), leading emoluments lawsuits against Trump and advocating censorship strategies to silence him. Suspiciously, Roberts’ Prague trip aligns with Eisen’s ongoing legal attacks on Trump, raising questions about what American and European rule of law work they did—especially since Eisen bragged about their close friendship on a podcast.

Trump’s 10%+ tariffs are shaking the global table. Markets are rattled. Inflation risk rising. GDP forecasts dropping. But here’s the real question: Do we have the backbone to rebuild American industry or just the fear to protect global profits? Short-term pain, maybe. Long-term strength? Only if we stop flinching. @USTreasury @SpeakerJohnson @HouseGOP - It’s time for leadership with teeth. Not headlines.

To @USTreasury and @SecScottBessent: Since your department signs the paychecks, here’s a proposal: No more guaranteed salaries for #Congress without guaranteed attendance. - Miss votes? Dock their pay. - Push for proxy voting? Cut the check in half. - Take unaccountable leave? Treat it like any other job, unpaid. Public service should mean performance, not privilege. It’s time their pay reflects their work, not just their title. @DOGE @elonmusk @POTUS @HouseGOP @SenateGOP @SpeakerJohnson @GOPoversight @RepJamesComer @SenTedCruz, @RepMTG, @ByronDonalds, @RepNancyMace Let’s get this done.

WHO’s ‘crucial role’ in global health? Let’s not forget their delays and missteps during the COVID-19 outbreak. Trump made it clear: American taxpayers won’t fund incompetence. Accountability isn’t optional, even for global organizations.
🚨 JUST IN: The World Health Organization asks Trump to "reconsider" withdrawing. "The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization." "WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people."

Joe Biden’s final act: issuing blanket pardons to his own family. If this doesn’t scream corruption, nothing will. What are they hiding? The American people deserve justice, not a self-serving escape hatch. This isn’t leadership, it’s a disgrace.

Pam Bondi as AG should prioritize investigations into Pelosi’s alleged insider trading and her role in January 6. Accountability doesn’t stop at party lines.
Do you think Pam Bondi should launch an investigation into Nancy Pelosi for insider trading once she becomes Attorney General?

There is no 28th Amendment, and neither the Vice President nor the President has the constitutional authority to unilaterally declare an amendment as “law of the land.” Amendments require state ratification through a defined constitutional process. This blatant disregard for legal and procedural facts undermines the integrity of democratic principles.
The Equal Rights Amendment is the 28th Amendment, and it is the law of the land.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Archivist of the United States, charged with officially publishing ratified amendments, has confirmed that the ERA was not ratified and based that analysis on binding legal precedent. There is no 28th Amendment. archives.gov/press/press-re…

Eliminating the Electoral College to ‘restore democracy’ is like abolishing referees to ‘make sports fair.’ The United States is a constitutional republic, designed to give every state, not just the largest cities, a voice. This isn’t about fairness; it’s a blatant power grab masquerading as reform. Pure socialist overreach disguised as democracy.

This is the kind of transparency the American people deserve. Let’s see who’s really been hiding behind the curtains. No more secrets, no more cover-ups.

The Hunter Biden saga is the epitome of a two-tiered justice system. A decade of potential criminal activity swept under the rug with a convenient pardon. “Justice for all” has become “justice for the connected.”
🚨 BREAKING: Special Counsel releases final report on probe into Hunter Biden, says they cannot comment on Hunter's potential criminal activity for the past decade because of the pardon. He's protected. "I cannot make any additional charging decisions as to Mr. Biden's conduct during those eleven years. It would thus be inappropriate to discuss whether additional charges are warranted."

This is a sharp example of public distrust in agencies tasked with national security. When credibility is compromised, even reassurances sound like red flags. The question isn’t if attendees should worry, the question is, how did we get here?
OH NO!!! The FBI just announced that there are no threats to President Trump's inauguration based on their knowledge. Should we believe the opposite? Should I be worried as an attendee?

Defund NPR. Taxpayer dollars shouldn’t bankroll a platform pushing propaganda better suited for authoritarian regimes. Let them find funding where their values align.
Should Congress continue to fund NPR?
