Reading that cretin Alex Jones was put on blast by the conservative Supreme Court and "Dr. Phil" has had to declare bankruptcy on the same day? What an embarrassment of riches! Only one other breaking news story about another odious man would make things better.

The Pentagon is restricting press access, and the NYT raises a serious First Amendment concern. The SecDef’s response? A wave emoji. It’s a childish mockery of accountability. But dodging scrutiny with memes is how authoritarians treat a free press.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Some say arming lunatics & the resulting murders they commit is simply the price we must pay to protect the freedom of armed lunatics to commit murders.

Let’s remember all the victims of senseless gun violence.

In Memory of
MELISSA HORTMAN
Former Minnesota House Speaker
1970 - 2025
Taken far too soon in a targeted attack.
A voice for justice, clean energy, and equality.
We honor her legacy, leadership, and courage.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

It’s simple, Chuck. Extend the ACA premium subsidies and reopen the government. The GOP can do this any time.

A tweet by Chuck Schumer says, “Republicans control the Senate, the House, and the White House.” It quotes a tweet from Chuck Grassley saying, “2day is day 12 of the Schumer Shutdown.”
