This LEGO video is hilarious. But the fact that people halfway around the world are trolling trump about the Epstein files more aggressively than many American media outlets should embarrass the hell out of us. Don't stop talking about the Epstein files.

🚨 Trump's new Medicaid rules just made it official: having cancer is not enough to be exempt from work requirements. You have to PROVE cancer is stopping you from working. While you're in chemo. This week, the Trump administration released its final 400-page rule on how states must enforce the Medicaid work requirements that were buried inside last year's "One Big Beautiful Bill." Starting January 1, 2027, most low-income adults on Medicaid must prove every single month they are working, volunteering, or attending school for at least 80 hours — or lose their coverage. For months, advocates for cancer patients and people living with HIV had been pushing for a blanket medical exemption. What they got instead was a trap. The new rule ties the definition of "medically frail" — the exemption category — directly to a person's ability to work. That means cancer patients who are still capable of working, even in between chemo rounds, do not automatically qualify. A woman with early-stage breast cancer receiving radiation treatment? May not qualify. A man living with HIV who takes medication and still reports to work? No exemption. And here's the part that should stop you cold: Harvard health policy professor Adrianna McIntyre told reporters that even cancer patients who ARE technically exempt could still lose coverage — because the paperwork process is so complex that "a recently diagnosed cancer patient who is employed might lose Medicaid coverage due to errors in completing the necessary paperwork." Cancer will not wait while a Medicaid office sifts through forms. The American Cancer Society ran the numbers. Researchers at the University of Chicago published a study in JAMA Oncology projecting that over 1 million mammograms and colorectal and lung cancer screenings will be missed within the first two years of these rules. That translates to more than 2,300 undetected cancer cases — hundreds at advanced stages — and an estimated 155 avoidable deaths from just three types of cancer alone. A coalition of 48 patient advocacy groups signed a joint statement calling the rule "life-threatening." The American Academy of Pediatrics said it will "harm those whom Medicaid is intended to support." The HIV Hepatitis Policy Institute's director said bluntly: "We will lose individuals from Medicaid, and many will become ill and die as a result." 68 million Americans depend on Medicaid. The CBO says at least 5 million will lose coverage. And Dr. Oz went on TV to defend it by saying Medicaid recipients watch too much television.

#BREAKING: Hayes: “…if Susan Collins is re-elected, remember this, she will continue to rubber stamp the Trump agenda and all that means, and mark my words, there will be MORE chances for her to install right wing justices in the court to help cement conservative control of that institution for another generation. Sam Alito is 76 years old. He’s all but confirmed he’s retiring soon. Clarence Thomas is 77. He’s already threatened to quit at least once. If Republicans hold the Senate, it seems essentially assured that BOTH men will announce their retirement. Donald Trump will replace them with ideological zealots four decades their junior, and Susan Collins will hem and haw about how CONCERNED she is and then she’ll vote to confirm then anyway, as she did with Brett Kavanaugh. So that is what the stakes are in the [Maine] Senate race.”😳
