Dental should not be separate from medical insurance. Gum disease is linked to heart disease.

Peter Thiel was brought to the U.S. as a 1-year-old after his parents immigrated from Germany. Shortly after, Klaus Thiel got a job in Swakopmund, SW Africa—the most Nazi place on Earth in the 1970s & brought his family. Peter literally said “Heil Hitler” in school. Klaus built a secret uranium mine for the apartheid South African government’s illegal nuclear program while Peter grew up. Peter says now the experience taught him who should have power and who should not. Swakopmund was created from a genocide of Namibians by the colonial German government. There is nothing “neo” about these Nazis.

Why is the House not holding Bondi in contempt? Why is Oversight not holding Epstein hearings? Why is Oversight not doing more in this case? Good Question! Republicans have stopped regular committee hearings. And, instead are holding roundtables where official motions (like contempt) cannot be made. And they control the committee and the chamber. That’s why Dems are taking a stand. We demand public hearings. We demand compliance with the law. And, we demand real oversight and justice for the survivors!

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more. Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged. Here's what happened: Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it." And the exact emails are now PUBLIC. Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem. The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately." Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call. Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price. Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed. Same playbook with Hanes: Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased." Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins. But it gets even worse... Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site. Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing. They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS. The mechanism is simple but terrifying: If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers. Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings." Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products. Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform. So turns out, you were never comparison shopping. You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors. "Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable." 3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on. This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat. And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE. "Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

Here’s the difference between Jon Husted and me:  While you’re working harder than ever just to get by, Jon Husted says your “work ethic is broken.” I’m in this fight to take on the rigged system and make sure hard-working Ohioans can get ahead.

Thiel is truly terrifying. As is his company. Palantir's "manifesto" fails to mention that its business model is to turn the United States into an authoritarian surveillance state.

🧵 THREAD 1/ Your daughter posts something online. She is 19. In college. Trying to figure out what she believes. She shares a political opinion that an algorithm flags as problematic. You do not see it happen. No one notifies you. No one tells her. But 72 hours later, her bank account is frozen. Her student loans are suspended. Her digital ID shows a compliance violation. And there is nothing you can do to protect her.

Corporations will get $166 billion in tariff refunds, including the 88 corporations that paid $0 in taxes in 2025.

so they're just gonna refuse court order and break the law.

The hypocrisy is next level.

Today marks 16 years since the Deepwater Horizon blow out, triggering the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Where they drill, they spill. We must learn from this devastating disaster. Say NO to the U.S. gov.’s proposed expansion of offshore drilling: oceana.ly/4cr9M8s

Senator Jon Ossoff neatly breaks down political corruption in America — and how Trump’s “Mar-a-Lago mafia” has exploited it. Every single Democrat should be saying this.

@noli_sequi @smalls2672 I’m middle of the road but admittedly lean left. I was fine during the last recession. I’ve never had to watch my grocery budget til now.

Its crazy how much maga has absolutely ruined this nation.

Call me crazy, but maybe two men who fathered 17 children with 6 different women shouldn’t be lecturing us about family values.

I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a “rigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.

To avoid US taxes. Get it?

We got an infiltrator to document a guided shark fishing tour in Marco Island, Florida.

@ScrutonsHair @AndyBeshearKY 😆 Right. Because Kentucky is a bastion of socialism. 🤪

@AndyBeshearKY It is scary. I am scared of wolves in sheep's clothing. People who lie to gain power and then execute a Socialist agenda and help to ruin our society. Very scary.

Somebody’s scared.

Now that the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to refund companies what they paid in tariffs, yet there are still tariffs in place, what's the plan? Consumers continue to fork money over to corporations who will later get another refund?

Trump is trying to get another $10B of taxpayer money from his lawsuit over his leaked tax records. Now, lawmakers introduced the aptly-named Ban Presidential Plunder of Taxpayer Funds Act to stop presidents from collecting settlement money from the government. The public shouldn't have to bankroll the President's personal scores.
