Great, big, strong Hamas, with tears in their eyes, saying "Sir! Sir! Surely if we surrender to *you*, they'll HAVE to give you your Nobel Prize!"

Hamas says “Sir to no one” Trump is so insecure and battered, he makes up the honorifics. If he weren’t POTUS it would be pathetic.

No amount of alcohol is safe, at least for dementia risk, study finds. An actual good thing about being allergic to mold and yeasts. I can’t drink anything without an allergic reaction, so will help me keep my brain working.

You are right, SCOTUS is a corrupt Court and they do what they are told to do by Trump.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Over half of Iowa's energy comes from wind power. Because of Ashley Hinson's vote to gut clean energy tax credits via the "Big Beautiful Bill," Iowans will see their utilities go up by hundreds of dollars a year and thousands of Iowa workers are at risk of losing their jobs.

CUNY is the nation’s largest urban public university system and an engine of social mobility for the city's working class.

But like so many of our public institutions, Andrew Cuomo subject it to years of disinvestment and neglect as Governor. That record cannot be forgotten.

Cuomo’s controversial CUNY record resurfaces as affordability concerns dominate mayor’s race

Advocates, union leaders and lawmakers have criticized his previous push to cut state aid.

There is no place for partisan political videos from the govt being blasted in airports attacking the opposition party. That is what authoritarian regimes do. This should not be a partisan issue - it is fundamentally un-American.

Sunny Hostin to Cheryl Hines: "The problem is that your husband is the least qualified HHS head that we've had in history. I think that's very dangerous. He has spread a lot of misinformation, chaos, and confusion."

We all keep asking, “What are they hiding” that they are going to such extremes. The longer the shutdown and with holding of the files continue, the worse our imaginations make what is in those files.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.
