Medicaid

The trio of PBS News Hour host Geoff Bennett, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks tried to have it both ways on Friday. The three men attacked the GOP’s Big Beautiful Bill for its negative effects on the deficit, but also its spending cuts, meaning PBS either wants to raise most people's taxes, but is too…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Ronny Chieng continued their dishonest attacks on the GOP’s spending bill, dubbed The Big Beautiful Bill, on their Thursday shows, calling it “mostly ass,” “cartoonishly mean,” and insisting people should “say goodbye to grandma.”

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel continued his attacks on Republicans and their spending bill, called the Big Beautiful Bill, on his Wednesday show. While Kimmel repeated many of the misleading talking points he issued on Tuesday, this time he added his amazement that Republicans also go to church.

CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel both dishonestly attacked House Republicans’ tax and spending bill on their Tuesday shows by leaving out crucial context for at least three talking points that made the proposal sound both reckless and “heartless.”

Some days, CBS’s Stephen Colbert is so far out in left field that it can’t all fit in one article. Thursday’s edition of The Late Show was one such occasion. Before he lamented the state of the nation with Sen. Bernie Sanders and flirted with tropes about Jewish financial power, Colbert would rant about the GOP’s proposed budget, claiming they “can eat a bag of [bleep]” for their…

The blowhards at MSNBC’s Morning Joe should realize that continuing to shoot lies through their whitened tooth implants on the air about Elon Musk doesn’t make them any more true. What’s worse is that they don’t even attempt to be clever about it.

On Tuesday’s installment of the White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praised the changes owner Jeff Bezos is making at The Washington Post, gave the “new media” seat to Saagar Enjeti of Breaking Points, and faced tough questions from across the spectrum on the economy from Fox News, CNN, Politico, and even the Associated Press.

On Thursday's Morning Joe, former Congressman and embittered ex-Republican Joe Scarborough again sounded like he's never been a conservative as he railed against the possibility of Republicans cutting Medicaid and recalled lecturing his Republican colleagues when he was in Congress.

A newspaper story several years ago reported about an elementary school teacher who held elections in his class. The students picked their candidates — one little boy competing against one little girl. The little boy stood up before the class and shared his ideas for changes that would improve their lives. The little girl stood up and promised that everyone who voted for her would get ice…

Syndicated radio host Dan Bongino sounded the alarm on the looming disaster posed by America’s precarious economic situation.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley got to the heart of the government shutdown fireworks in her appearance on Fox News Sunday. “Let's be clear what the Freedom Caucus is really trying to do; they are trying to cut spending.” That's of course correct. One would be hard-pressed to find any Republican, Freedom Caucus member or not, who does not understand the gravity of the state of…

Social Security is toast. So is Medicare. Too many of us old people live longer, so there are not enough working people to support us. Soon both Social Security and Medicare will be broke. Our politicians don’t have the guts to do anything about it. Or even talk about it. It’s easy to see why. Recently, France’s president, trying to keep his country’s pension system from going broke, raised…

This week, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and President Joe Biden cut a deal to raise the debt limit. The breakthrough came after three months of Biden pledging not to even negotiate over the debt limit. Instead, Biden was forced to concede to a 1% cap on increases for non-military spending, a cutback on IRS funding, a clawback of some unspent COVID-19 allocations, and addition…

Self-proclaimed “NeverTrump” Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin is once again displaying her blatant hypocrisy in her latest op-ed attacking the GOP amidst the ongoing debt ceiling negotiations.
