Donald Trump, in an interview with Axios, said that he plans to sign an executive order stripping many Americans of their citizenship. Though it is unclear how far Trump wants to go, or whether he would attempt to retroactively strip many existing citizens of their citizenship, Trump apparently wants to target the children of undocumented immigrants.
“We’re the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United...

This is how much more expensive health care premiums will be in 2019 thanks to Trump
Health care premiums will be up to 16 percent higher in 2019 than they would have been had the Trump administration not worked so hard to chip away at the Affordable Care Act.
A new study released Friday by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that the Trump administration’s decision to repeal Obamacare’s individual mandate and expand skimpy short-term health plans have made premiums across the board — whether on the Obamacare marketplace or not — an average of 6 percent h...
The US government is finally stepping in to help the babies of the opioid epidemic

The right’s obsession with Venezuelan socialism completely disregards history
The White House’s Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) on Tuesday released a sprawling, wacky report titled “The Opportunity Costs of Socialism,” a 72-page manifesto that cites Venezuela 52 times, using it as evidence of the perils of socialism.
This shouldn’t be surprising. For the past couple of years, right-wing outlets and politicians have been fixated on the Latin American country. In the last month, Breitbart has occasionally published multiple articles per day about the countr...
Scott Walker shamelessly lies about protecting pre-existing conditions during Trump rally
During a rally with President Trump on Wednesday night, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) shamelessly lied about his position on pre-existing conditions.
“I want to reinforce it to everyone — we will always cover people like my wife with preexisting medical conditions,” Walker said, referring to his wife Tonette, who has Type 1 diabetes. “Don’t believe the lies. Don’t believe the lies!”
Walker has good reason to pay lip service to prot...
Trump blatantly lies about Republicans’ position on pre-existing conditions
With the midterm elections two weeks away, President Trump is leading Republican candidates in outright lying to constituents. And one of the most popular lies, which Trump tweeted out Wednesday morning, actually tries to convince voters that Republicans hold one of Democrats’ positions on health care — and that Democrats don’t hold it.
Republicans will totally protect people with Pre-Existing Conditions, Democrats will not! Vote Republican.

Trump Midterm Report Card: Incomplete and Failing
As midterm elections draw near and President Donald Trump nears the halfway point of his term, he is devoting much of his time to campaign rallies for fellow Republicans — which often serve as rallies for the president himself. At these events, banners and professionally made identical signs are ubiquitous, claiming “Promises made, promises kept.” But in an administration run by a man who has made more than 5,000 demonstrably false claims, really only the first half of that slogan is...
