Billionaire Bill Ackman is backing the corrupt Eric Adams over Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor in part because he believes Adams has the better smile.

Rep. @RepJeffries during his nearly-six-hour-long speech on the House floor (which is still going) opposing Trump's Medicaid-cutting-deficit-busting-billionaires-enriching tax-and-spending mega-bill, just suggested people should read the grievances. Well, we did that for you.
NEW: In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson listed 27 grievances to prove that King George III was a "tyrant." We looked at how many of those now apply to Donald Trump. Have a good Fourth of July and pass this on.

Suicide pact. Death cult. GOP.
The Republican Rep with, by far, the largest % of Medicaid recipients in his district votes to advance a bill that cuts Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion.

What do you say to the GOP House intel report that concluded Russia attacked the 2016 election or the GOP-led Senate intel committee report that said Putin interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump and Trump tried to exploit the Russian attack? Anything?.
All the world can now see the truth: Brennan, Clapper and Comey manipulated intelligence and silenced career professionals — all to get Trump. Thank you to the career @CIA officers who conducted this review and exposed the facts.

I concur. The forces of disinformation can be rather effective. Trump and the Republicans will fight hard to blame Democrats for whatever goes wrong. Trump‘s lethal mismanagement of Covid did not prevent him from returning to the White House. Politics never stops.
The impacts will be inescapable. It won’t be obvious whom to blame. It will be highly contested, and apportioning blame correctly will require Democrats to be strident and play legislative hardball.

They only need a lifeline because you are trying to kill them.
We have set up a $50 billion rural health fund within this reconciliation bill — we are giving rural hospitals a lifeline to survive.

NEW: Saying good-bye to Bill Moyers. In the latest issue of my OUR LAND newsletter, I share a touching email I received from Bill many years ago that shows what drove him to pursue his conscience-guided journalism.

Or Donald Trump in charge of the Constitution.
RFK Jr is hiring Lyn Redwood, a nurse and the former head of a hardcore anti-vaccine group, to work in the CDC's vaccine safety office. It's like putting Pablo Escobar in charge of the Drug Enforcement Agency.

NEW: Russ choma found another Trump conflict-of-interest. His realty firm is trying to sell a $12 million residence owned by Roche, the pharma giant with lots of interests in DC. If it sells, Trump's firm could pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Hard to believe Trump lied.
Last month when Trump was on the Hill, I asked if he could guarantee his voters won’t lose health insurance under his bill. “They won’t lose health insurance,” he said.CBO today said 11.8 million more people would be without health insurance in 2034 under the Senate plan.

No room in Trump’s MAGA cult for independent thought or action. Tillis wouldn’t sign the suicide pact.
Centrist Sen. Thom Tillis (R., N.C.) said he won’t seek re-election in 2026, less than 24 hours after he voted against a motion to advance President Trump’s tax-and-spending megabill, drawing public backlash from the president

NEW: In my OUR LAND newsletter, I note that Zohran Mamdani's stunning win in NYC doesn't mean the Democratic Party is shifting left. The real battle these days is not left-vs.-right. It's fight-vs.-no-fight. He showed Ds how to do political combat.
