    In a part of upstate California roiled by MAGA politics and dark suspicions about democratic institutions, under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a fifth of Shasta County’s CalFresh recipients, about 6,000 residents, are at risk of losing the supplemental food assistance due to a waiver ending for so-called able-bodied adults without dependents. Almost a third of the county’s Medi-Cal population, 17,200 residents, could lose coverage due to new eligibility requirements, while another 5,700 beneficiaries will need to start requalifying twice a year if they want to keep their insurance, Health and Human Services Agency director Christy Coleman told supervisors June 11.

    These changes are reaching into a county where the death rate is already 60% higher than the state’s, according to the California Health Care Foundation.


    voted for their own destruction

    It is staggering that ANYONE who voted for all this stuff, still backs this admin. Good Lord, if Joe even did a little of what tramp has done there would be a revolt on DC. I will NEVER respect any maga cuck, you all have no balls and you worship an evil man.......Christina Values LOL, maybe the tramp bible is different than the King James version. I am sorry, but you can't claim to have Christian Values and back this man and his ideals, if you do, please go to Bible Study IMMEDIATLEY

    Watters: Some of these kids have never had real jobs and are complaining things are expensive. Things are expensive when you don't have a real job. Do you think that's getting traction? Complaining?

    Leavitt: Unfortunately I do because this generation, my generation, Gen Z and those younger than me have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths.

    Watters: Is it laziness?

    Leavitt: A little bit.

    Watters: If they misbehave, make them join the army.

    Leavitt: Send them to Cuba. Send them to Iran.


    along with women, minorities, and immigrants, they also hate the young people and poor people who voted for them

    also, Karoline Leavitt is only 28 years old…she is aging like absolute sh*t…they all are

    "This country is built on meritocracy" ... except when it is not. This is also from the same admin that is blocking promotions in the military services if your were not born with (and retained) a dick or if you were not born white.

    As an aside, have you ever noticed that White Christian Nationalists hate it when people notice that they are white or that they support pro-white policies ... since ... that is so racist?

    This article is sickening. Only in America does a modern world country screw over those in need of affordable healthcare like this. Trump calls this the Golden Age, and says America's hotter than ever.

    FACT SHEET: One Year After Trump’s Big Ugly Bill Slashed Over a Trillion Dollars from Health Care, the Fallout is Even Worse Than Feared

    https://www.protectourcare.org/fact...h-care-the-fallout-is-even-worse-than-feared/

    By Golden Age he must mean these types...

    One Year In, Big Drug Companies Are Richer Than Ever. Thanks to Trump’s tax giveaways to Big Pharma, Johnson and Johnson, AbbVie, Pfizer, Amgen, and Merck have paid $0 in federal taxes since 2018. In 2025, the 10 largest drugmakers netted over $130 billion, after spending over $80 billion showering their wealthy shareholders with stock buybacks and dividends. Ten of the largest drugmakers collectively pocketed $50 billion more in profits during Trump’s first year back in office on top-selling products that Trump specially carved out from Medicare drug price negotiation. Over the past year, big drug companies shave even raised prices by an average of 5.5% for 688 top prescription drugs.

    He said he loves inflation. He also set future investigations for his whole family financials.

    It was January 2025, crypto fever was raging, and Donald J. Trump was preparing to return to the White House. So when Fatime Elrgdawy’s friend told her about an online message from the U.S. president-elect hyping the launch of his own crypto coin – “GET YOUR $TRUMP NOW” – she thought: “Oh my God, this is brilliant.”

    If Trump was putting his name behind it, Elrgdawy recalls thinking, “it must be a legitimate investment.”

    The 29-year-old software project engineer in Santa Barbara, California, put $2,000 of her savings into the $TRUMP meme coin – a purely speculative crypto token whose value is often driven by social media hype. All that remained, she thought, was to sit back and wait for the price to climb.

    Instead, the price plummeted. At the end of May, her $TRUMP holding was worth less than $120. Meanwhile, the Trump family pocketed hundreds of millions of dollars from the token sales after putting little to none of their own money into the project.

    All but three of the 27 individual investors interviewed for this article said they knew of Donald Trump’s history of bankruptcies, unpaid contractors and failed ventures. Still, most said they believed that his position at the apex of American political power and what they perceived as his business acumen ensured lucrative returns on their investments. Many acknowledged doing little or no due diligence. Some said they still hold on to the hope that Trump will make things right. Others expressed regret, anger and embarrassment.

    They range from a Minnesota software engineer who said he lost $60,000 of his savings to a hotel manager in Vietnam who lost years' worth of his income. They include the owner of an import-export business in Texas, a hospitality executive in Washington, D.C., and a retiree from New York.

    Elrgdawy said it has become clear that “there’s no hope left” for her investment in the $TRUMP meme coin. She said she now thinks “it was just a pump and dump scheme” – when sellers of an asset talk up its price and then “dump” it for a profit before it crashes. Still, she said she considers herself lucky compared to other $TRUMP buyers who, in online chat groups, bemoan much steeper losses on a meme coin that has tumbled 97% from its January 2025 peak.

    Matt, a 45-year-old machinist in Indiana, said that last September, he was looking to reverse recent investment losses, so he put $40,000 – 30% of his crypto and stock portfolio at the time – in ALT5 Sigma shares. “When a stock has presidential backing in a way – at least from his sons – you would think it would go up,” he said.

    Matt’s shares have dropped 79% in value since he bought them, for a loss of about $32,700. He keeps holding on, he said, because he thinks the stock is undervalued. “I call myself a loser, but I haven’t given up yet,” he said.

    He does not blame the Trump family. He said he believes Democrats and anti-Trump investors are taking short positions – a bet that an asset’s price will fall – in the family’s crypto projects. “Here’s the dark side. I know all of these globalists have TDS and they are just going to short it,” he said, using the acronym for “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” the term Trump supporters use to describe what they see as an irrationally negative reaction to the president. He asked that his surname not be used to avoid politically charged blowback online and from people in his community.

    My guess is these losers marching in DC today hiding behind their masks voted for Trump. He probably pardoned some of these creeps.

    Article:

    The odds were always in his favor. Mr. Trump profited whether the price of his memecoin went up or down. He collected returns whenever anyone traded the tokens, as he repeatedly pushed his followers to do, using his Truth Social account to promote the coin.

    The memecoin was only one of several crypto ventures that reeled in profits for Mr. Trump and his allies.

    Mr. Trump’s total profits from World Liberty reached $799 million last year, according to his financial disclosure, including hundreds of millions from the United Arab Emirates, which secretly moved in early 2025 to buy nearly half the company. A Trump business entity also collected a 75 percent cut of sales of $WLFI, after the deduction of certain expenses, guaranteeing that Mr. Trump would profit, even if the coin’s price ultimately crashed.

    “Trump back when he was a real estate developer boasted that he plays ‘to people’s fantasies,’” Mr. Gillers said. “Here he seems to have encouraged supporters to invest with the expectation they could anticipate riches — even as he himself was cashing out.”

    “President Trump proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world,” Anna Kelly, a White House spokeswoman, said. “All actions by President Trump and his administration are taken in the best interest of the American people.”
