1. Bovino needs to go to jail.
2. These innocents need to sue.

I am so ashamed when I see this. It seems if the media says someone is guilty of a crime the truth is the opposite.
I have been a reporter for close to 40 years, including stints covering police and the courts. This thing, from the president down, of accusing people of crimes when not charged: That did not used to be a thing. Authorities don’t do that because it is unfair and leads to cases being tossed.

This is ridiculous. The pets depend on YOU to make the right decision. Rabies is 100% fatal once symptoms appear and it is contagious to humans.
Pet owners are refusing rabies vaccines because of ‘pawtism’ fears. Anti-vax conspiracies have gone so far off the rails they’re endangering dogs. Rabies is 100% fatal once symptoms start. Misinformation is spreading faster than the viruses these days.

We did not ask to be without a paycheck, they did. They should not be paid nor should they collect any benefits. Go and sign the petition.
A petition on @change.org is calling for Congress to stop getting paid during Gov. shutdowns, arguing that “citizens are penalized constantly, now elected officials should face some penalties too” and I support this message. 👇

I finally understand, sort of, that they are equating country and religion. They feel that an attack on the acts of the country is attacking the religion.

No where in the Torah does it say to kill civilians. No where does it say starve children. The country is NOT the Jewish religion.
They are members of a cult and have given up their ability to make decisions. We need politicians who are in the business to serve the public. That requires they be able to think, analyze and vote.
Bet you would like a job where you got great health insurance and only had to work less than 12% of the time. And you don't even have to take any personal time. Call Mikey even if you are a Democrat. If we all call daily maybe he will get tired.
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
So what consequences does JP Morgan face for their failure to follow the law? I know I would be charged.

Weeks after Jeffrey Epstein died, JPMorgan Chase reported over $1 billion of his potentially suspicious transactions, including some involving big-name investors. levernews.com/did-wall-str...

So how honorable do you think Marco Rubio and JD Vance are?
The military has to say no. They know the courts have said it is not legal. Congress refused to declare war. Any action they take is illegal.
Where are they finding these kooks? If you want to do a public service job don't you think you would want to know and follow the rules? In all my 70+ years I have seen more unhinged idiots in public the past 5 years of my life than in all my previous years.
EXCLUSIVE: Christy McCormick, a top federal voting official, is facing calls to resign following an unhinged public rant in which she accused Democrats of promoting "open borders" and widespread voting by "illegal citizens" to gain votes.

Long time deserved. I only regret he has not received punishment appropriate for his crimes.
CEOs salaries should be based on the amount their employees are paid. Without the employees their pay would be Zero.
An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
So Kash Patel makes a big deal about NBA gambling ring but ignores the pain and suffering of the victims of a wide sex trafficking ring that has been covered up for years. Guess we know his priorities.
you might not have believed Virginia Giuffre but it's pretty clear the British Royal Family did
So does this mean he will quit whining about getting the Peace Prize?
The non-military version of "stolen valor."
Did you know Walmart and McDonalds counsel their employees on how to apply for assistance rather than paying a living wage.
The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.
I am dumbfounded when I hear people saying they don't support universal healthcare. I just realized something -- we are not talking about the same things. In fact, I cannot find a definition in any Democratic literature. How about we start by defining term so we are all talking about the same thing.
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.
Baby had his feelings hurt. I am so sick and tired of our toddler president

This is long over due. I am waiting to see more have to face their behavior. The punishment will not be what I would like to see but it will be punishment anyways.
Virginia Giuffre’s family just put out a statement about how an ordinary American girl who was abused and trafficked finally brought down a prince, and I am in tears.
