My sisters and brothers in uniform:

You took an oath.

You took an oath to the constitution of this country.

If you have abandoned your oath, take off the uniform that so many of us bled and died for and go home.

You shame us.

We will remember.

Social Security is so dependable because millions of working Americans have built a system that has delivered earned benefits on time for 90 years.

Protect our checks!

A graphic with blue ombre background and a Social Security check. The text in white and yellow font says, "Social Security is an economic necessity: The median household nearing retirement has only $10,000 in retirement savings—and nearly half of families have none at all. The Trump administration is putting these essential benefits in danger. We need to protect our checks!"

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:

(Published 2019)

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free

Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

Plaintiffs in the Chicago Headlines Club lawsuit claim that DHS is outright refusing to provide drone and BWC footage from a recent attack on peaceful protestors.

DHS is refusing to provide ANY drone footage which ... huh.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

1. Plaintiffs filed a motion for expedited discovery to compel Defendants to produce
all video footage responsive to Plaintiffs’ requests for production Nos. 2 & 5 as ordered by the
Court for the incident October 23, 2025 in Little Village, Chicago, where Defendant Bovino
himself deployed tear gas munitions into a crowd. Dkt. 152.
2. As Plaintiffs motion pointed out, Defendants have posted video montages of this
incident to social media. Id. ¶¶3-4. Plaintiffs pointed out that Defendants social media included
what appears to be body worn camera footage “as well as drone footage” from the October 23rd
incident in Little Village. Id. The two cited DHS social media videos a relevant to this suit. One
Calls the events in Little Village a “riot,” id. n.2, while another purports to depict a rock being
thrown at Bovino, id. n.1.
3. The court granted the motion, and required Defendants to produce “both BWC
and drone footage” from the “use of force incidents on 10/30/2025 in the Little Village
neighborhood” by 9pm on October 29, 2025. Dkt. 159.
4. Defendants refuse to comply with this Court’s unequivocal order. Specifically,
Defendants have simply refused to produce drone footage from Little Village, despite the Court
ordering its production and despite the fact that the Defendants have used it in their social media
to support their contentions that the violence in Little Village (and throughout this District) is
justified.

On Nov 1, the spokesman for TPUSA posted a false accusation that Halloween T-shirts worn by Cienega High’s math teachers were “mocking Charlie’s murder”.

But they also wore them last year.

Nonetheless, the teachers have been threatened by MAGA and were forced to have extra security today.

Concerned parents just sent us this image of what's believed to be teachers in @vailschools in Tuscon, Arizona mocking Charlie's murder with costumes that read
"Problem Solved" and blood down the left side of their shirts.
They deserve to be famous, and fired.

Good Morning Cienega Families,
I wanted to be sure to reach out to all of you to let you know that there will be an increased law enforcement presence on our campus this morning.
We have asked for high visibility from our partners at the Pima County Sheriff's Office due to the aggressive nature of online comments over the weekend.
That said, we are unaware of any viable threat to the Cienega campus, our Cienega students or our Cienega staff.
I want to personally thank the parents, families, students and alumni who have reached out to offer support during this series of events. Your messages have fortified us as we traverse this path forward.
Your trust is extremely important to myself and my staff, I realize transparency is the foundation for maintaining and fortifying that trust with each of you.
I'm grateful that you choose to share your Cat with me each and every day.
It continues to be an honor to serve and your family, KHiddleton
