If you're a foreigner, there's nothing new with detained people winning in an #elections here in the #Philippines.
If you're a local #Filipino and you were surprised by this, I guess this was the first time you voted or paid attention? Welcome to #PHpols kabayan!
The #healthcare plan already funded by the Public has been scuttled with NO replacement. The tax credits to states - also already paid for by the Public - funding hundreds of me marketplace programs that provide #health & #medical services to tens of thousands of people, were taken and given away by #Congress - largely by donors to the Senate Minority Leader and House Speaker, with a few vague promises to negotiate some scraps back, all now evidently broken. At the end of 2025 the so-called Private #Insurance Industry was greenlighted massive increases to premiums and the associated payments of co-insurance & deductibles. The 2026 budget will scrap virtually all of #Medicaid and most of #Medicare right after this year's midterm #elections. Particularly in rural areas, upward of 40% of hospital revenues come from Medicaid reimbursements which will abruptly cease. HUNDREDS OF HOSPITALS NATIONWIDE are likely to shut down and, in some areas, nearly all will sharply reduce critical services like primary care, emergency rooms, OB/GYN, pharmacy, dialysis, and pediatrics. Many of these particular services will be consolidated to other #hospitals far away with no transportation provided. Thousands will die, tens of thousands will be impoverished, as a direct result. A national #economic failure is more than merely likely. And without good cause; only to crush the Public and to transfer away the remains of its #wealth - our #savings, our #investments - for #redistribution to the untaxed parasites who create nothing, to further ensure that their next six generations will be exempted from the Social Compact.

I am not a member of the DC Bar (or any BAR for that matter) but I'll give credit where credit is due.
I am super appreciative of #LegalEagle and his videos, but this is arguably his most important and it isn't very algorithm pleasing so I fear it will fall behind.
But there are #dcbar elections coming up and I'd anyone in the DC Bar sees this, it is crucial you elect #DianeSeltzer as the President to aid in these perilous times, she is far more accredited, and less dangerous than her opponent, none other than the brother of Pam Bondi. He will sell the legal system to #Felon47. Video with more details is attached

SCOTUS will take up a Republican-led drive to wipe away limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination w/candidates for Congress & president.
The justices said Mon they’ll review an appellate ruling that upheld a provision of federal #election #law that’s >50 yrs old. #Democrats want the court to leave the law in place.

The IRS Says Churches Can Now Endorse Candidates. That Could Give Texas Pastors More Power Than Ever.
While the IRS move applies across the country, Texas — with more than 200 megachurches — will be the epicenter for pastors and congregations to test out their new influence, one expert said.

*Not* voting also has consequences: you reward #malice, you block #justice
Are you listening Americans?
Do you want #MAGA goons punished?
And how do we achieve that?
Are you going to put two plus two together in your mind and figure out that means four, and fucking vote?

Meaning:

"Who cares, #Trump is the problem"
On the contrary, the #presidency is just a capstone on a huge system, and when we take our eye off the little #elections, we get a systemic rot that leads to someone like Trump

I'm trying to think positively about the results of the council elections in the UK.
It's probably the least damaging way that Brits can find out exactly how profoundly incompetent the kind of people who get involved with the Reform party are. Because you really need competent councils to keep a community running. So... buckle up.
Meanwhile, Labour needs to get rid of Starmer. And this is as good a time as any.
TAKE NOTE #DEMOCRATS
because of Trump, #México just amended their constitution to annul #elections decided by foreign intervention.
WHY?
#MAGA #Trump are using #drugs to revive the Monroe Doctrine. that’s why they kidnapped #Venezuela’s Maduro. the judicial excuse was drug trafficking, not oil.
it’s why DoJ issued a warrant for the GOVERNOR of Sinaloa: to invade México.
and, that’s what Bolsonaro’s son asked Trump to do in #Brasil: to give Lula the drugs treatment.
