MAHA doesn’t look so healthy. It looks like they fell into the vat of acid with the Joker. I hope other countries raise the prices on spray tan and Botox and make them sweat. Then again they would just continue to steal our hard earned tax money to cover it so maybe not.

Israel caught LYING over what happened at Rafah so it can resume the genocide

Hamas did not attack Rafah, Zionist settlers bulldozed over unexploded bombs - yet Israel is blaming Palestinians so it can kill again.

By a 2-1 opinion, the Ninth Circuit just held that the president can federalize the National Guard forces and deploy them when protesters shine flashlights in the eyes of ICE officers. It’s one of the most dangerous and legally flawed court decisions I’ve seen this year. 1/23

Only 78% of the American population was even old enough to vote in 2024. Take away those that couldn’t vote due to being hospitalized or unable to get to their voting place for other unfortunate reasons. That leaves those that voted and those that didn’t vote.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.
