AlterNet Crooks and Liars Daily Kos (Note: these articles are from RSS News Feeds websites, and are deleted after 30 days, May 30, 2025 at 12:22 PM EDT On Maria Bartiromo's FOX Business program, a panel of very wealthy people wants to raise the retirement age of the working class to be eligible for Social Security benefits because they would never retire at 62. In a very bizarre discussion, Bartiromo's panel of the rich lied throughout this segment about the entirety of Social Security recipients in order to justify taking benefits away from seniors instead of raising taxes on those who can afford it. May 30, 2025 at 12:22 PM EDT Racist hate monger Stew Peters ranted at "the Jews" because he was banned from speaking at a veterans' group in Virginia. WKTR: "A far-right influencer named Stew Peters who was invited to speak at a reunion of the USS Liberty Veterans Association (LVA) has been barred from the Norfolk Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 4809." May 30, 2025 at 12:10 PM EDT Joni Ernst's town hall this morning in Butler, Iowa, was a complete shitshow. Probably not the wisest reply to people that you supposedly represent (but in reality don't) is to tell them their fears of Medicaid cuts possibly shortening their or their loved ones' lives is to tell them they're all going to die anyway, so just think of the big picture. Billionaires need their tax cuts, peasants. May 30, 2025 at 11:15 AM EDT The feds are investigating how an unknown person impersonated White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, after they reached out to prominent Republicans and business executives pretending to be her. Via the Wall Street Journal: In recent weeks, senators, governors, top U.S. business executives and other well-known figures have received text messages and phone calls from a person who claimed to be the chief of staff, the people familiar with the messages said. May 30, 2025 at 11:14 AM EDT White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the seven fictitious studies contained in RFK Jr.'s MAHA report on chronic illness that was used to defend his policies as "formatting issues" and still defended its efficacy. No credible agency head would deliver a significant government report using studies that do not exist as a cornerstone of its viability. And if they did they would be laughed out of Washington D.C.. This would especially be true if it affects the health of the entire nation. May 30, 2025 at 11:13 AM EDT Leonard Leo, the brains behind the Federalist Society, who has billionaire donors on speed dial, and who financed and directed the right-wing takeover of the Supreme Court, is Donald Trump's newest target. Grab some popcorn; this will be interesting because in 2016, Trump said," We're going to have great judges, conservative, all picked by the Federalist Society." Donald took to Truth Social to call Leo a "sleazebag." May 30, 2025 at 9:10 AM EDT White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted to the ruling by the U.S. Court of International Trade that determined that TACO's tariff orders are "unlawful." She's unhappy, even though one of the three judges is a Trump appointee, but she skipped over that part. "The courts should have no role here," she said of the United States Court of International Trade. "There is a troubling and dangerous trend of unelected judges inserting themselves into the presidential decision-making process." May 29, 2025 at 11:00 PM EDT Here's another relevant and not far from the truth video from The Onion mocking Box-O-Wine Pirro's drinking buddy SecDef Pete Hegseth. "America must project strength to keep our adversaries in check and we can't do that with men named Taylor on the battlefield," Hegseth said. May 29, 2025 at 6:51 PM EDT Top Trump administration officials have spoken at length about alleged irresponsible government use of taxpayer dollars and a lack of transparency at federal agencies, with President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally, Elon Musk, focusing heavily during their first months in the White House on promoting what they claimed was "government efficiency." But in a letter to the head of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Trump appointee Russell Vought, two top Democrats in Congress said Tuesday that the office in charge of producing and managing the president's budget is "intentionally" misleading Congress""and the American people""and refusing to provide transparency about how public funds are being used. May 29, 2025 at 6:50 PM EDT The Kennedy destruction machine rolls on, canceling $766 million awarded to Moderna to develop a vaccine against potential pandemic influenza viruses, including the H5N1 bird flu -- which, if you've been paying attention, is the Big Kahuna of potential pandemic flus, with the greatest estimated number of deaths. The one that keeps epidemiologists up at night. But you know, no biggie! Via CBS News: The company said it was notified Wednesday that the Health and Human Services Department had withdrawn funds awarded in July 2024 and in January to pay for development and purchase of its investigational vaccine. May 29, 2025 at 6:50 PM EDT Fox's Jessica Tarlov delivered some brutal poll numbers on Trump during a segment where they were bashing Democrats for being unpopular. Bashing Democrats and trying to paint them as being as bad or worse than Republicans, along with pushing their latest conspiracy theory (thanks Jake Tapper) that there was some grand coverup about Biden's cognitive state, are two of the network's favorite pastimes, in between showing complete fealty to Trump and pretending he's sane. May 29, 2025 at 4:08 PM EDT Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s "Make America Healthy Again"(MAHA) report is rife with errors, broken links, and nonexistent sources. It's as if his people thought they were cheating on a test, slapped a bunch of random shit on paper, and thought no one would notice even though he's in charge of our country's health.
