Los Angeles County officials will vote Tuesday on whether to declare a state of emergency that would give them power to provide assistance for residents they say have suffered financially from ongoing...

Sounds almost like Fox has a guilty conscience…but that’d require them having a conscience.

The way Trump and his merry band of grifters hock and shill, I was beginning to think the Hatch Act had been abolished.

Major airports are refusing to air Kristi Noem’s propaganda video blaming Democrats for the shutdown, and there’s a reason: it violates the Hatch Act

You can’t use taxpayer resources for partisan attacks. Period.

Jones was handed his judgement by default after he refused to show up for court. He was found guilty of defaming families in Sandy Hook.

Despite the ceasefire agreement, Israel continues to slaughter Palestinians in Gaza.

The egregious breaches of the so-called peace plan cannot be ignored and those responsible must be brought to justice.

Sadly, this won't move the needle.
I used to think it might, but not anymore.
#FuckTrump' s supporters don't care that the son of a bitch is a pedophile. They only want power adjacency, tax breaks at our expense, and the continued empowerment he gives them to be their shittiest selves.

Imagine if a woman president went off about every picture of herself she didn’t like. “Hysterical.” “Emotional.” “PMSing.” “Petty bitch.”

They have nothing at all. Most American media doesn't focus on that. They also don't report on the total lack of running water or electricity in the region now, too.

"If they could snap their fingers and eliminate the ACA marketplaces altogether, they would. And they haven’t arrived at a consensus on what the insurance system would look like in their preferred world, beyond a bunch of vacuous bromides about 'choice' and 'patient-centered care.'"
Republicans are completely full of it on healthcare
And it becomes more obvious every time they talk about it.

That line, “there’s more that unites us than divides us,” can sound like a cliché. But right now, it hits.

All of us want affordable healthcare. Nobody can afford premiums that triple. Nobody wants to see service members standing in food pantry lines.

Party divides completely fade on these issues.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.
