I wish I had a better link for this video - but Jon Ossoff hits the nail on the head with these comments. Congress (notice I didn't say conservatives) serves the donors, not the citizens.

This is why I'm for limited government. The government doesn't give a fuck about us (all of them). Government has NEVER been the solution. Our country exists because they understood this back then.

How Fraud Swamped Minnesota’s Social Services System on Tim Walz’s Watch
Prosecutors say members of the Somali diaspora, a group with growing political power, were largely responsible

Yeah this Administration is not one to be talking about corruption. I've never seen a president take so many bribes and graft . As a Reagan Republican is pretty disgusting to watch so much corruption. That used to be the Democrat things but the Republicans certainly learned from Trump.

Daycares in Minnesota donated a combined $35 million to political campaigns in the last two years

They didnt even try to hide the money trail.



money laundering operation for Dem political power: not only lock down Somali vote but also launder the fraudulent funds into tens of millions of dollars for campaign donations.


Disgraceful. Ask yourself, why are daycares donating this much money to political campaigns

Is this normal to you? Does this make sense?

I agree, anybody committing crimes should go to jail. Including any Trump's friends and family. Dems and Repubs alike.

So Trump is suing the government that he runs for 10 billion, and the attorney general he nominated is supposed to defend the government against her boss?

Let me guess, Bondi settles the lawsuit for 2 billion and calls it a day.

In less than a year, Trump erased 12 years of solvency for the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A




Recent policy changes and economic shifts have slashed 12 years off the projected life span of the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A, according to a newly updated report from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The Hospital Insurance (HI) Trust Fund is now slated to be entirely exhausted by 2040, even though the balance generally increases through 2031, as spending will begin to outstrip income in the following year.



This rapid deterioration of Medicare’s financial solvency represents a stark drop from the CBO’s previous estimate, which was published just last year, in March 2025. The dramatically shortened timeline means future retirees could face significant cuts to vital health care services far sooner than previously anticipated. As required by the Deficit Control Act, CBO Director Phillip Swagel noted the projections reflect the assumption benefits would be paid as scheduled even after the HI trust fund was exhausted.



The primary culprit for this accelerated depletion is a sharp reduction in the fund’s projected income, heavily driven by legislation passed over the last year. Specifically, the 2025 reconciliation act (Public Law 119-21, more commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act) significantly reduced the revenues the trust fund normally receives from taxing Social Security benefits. This legislation lowered tax rates and established a temporary deduction for taxpayers age 65 or older. Consequently, this major policy shift enacted during the Trump administration has directly contributed to starving the Medicare safety net of critical future funding.
