“Foreign targets”…sure, Jan

He said sure I’ll sign it but I think we should all expect that in his mind he already has the Trump card of saying he can’t release files because of an ongoing investigation
-
It’s reasonable and people first takes like this that are the reason Musk, Zuck, etc all bent the knee to Trump.
All they care about is profit.
-
Because Trump doesn’t enforce the law against his friends or donors, in this case, Jeff Yass who has big $$ into TikTok and donated large sums to Trump.

All the sudden the GOP is echoing affordability as the issue the American people are concerned about.
But they’re legislating like they don’t care about it, especially by cutting Medicaid and ACA.
You can’t have it both ways, either you care about affordability or you care about your rich donors.

We live in the richest country in the world. We have a diverse and beautiful people.
But we don’t care for each other. We spend so much time fighting with each other.
If we worked together there’s no reason we couldn’t promise healthcare to every citizen, a good paying job, and security.

But in the mean time, Dems can win the Congress in 2026 and do a great deal to deliver meaningful reform on healthcare.
They could save tens of millions of Americans from losing their healthcare in the richest country in the world.
That will save countless lives. I just hope people can see that.
