I started paying into Social Security when I was 10, have worked steadily since I was 15, and retired at 75 with reasonable savings and SS. I, like so many others, payed into and earned this modest retirement. Send Musk to Mars and Trump to jail.

With how bad everything else has gotten lately you sometimes almost forget we're living through a global climate collapse.

Warming waters cause corals to “bleach” when these organisms expel symbiotic algae that provide nutrients, oxygen & vibrant colors.

The latest global bleaching event - researchers estimate >84% of the planet's coral ecosystems have been affected since Jan 2023 - has made it clear the crisis is now.
nature NEWS 12 October 2025 Coral die-off marks Earth's first climate 'tipping point', scientists say A surge in global temperatures has caused widespread bleaching and death of warm-water corals around the world. By Jeff Tollefson

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

Posts claim House Speaker Mike Johnson was dean of a law school named after a judge who was later accused of sexual abuse, but the school never officially opened. That's true. ✅ www.snopes.com/fact-check/m...
Mike Johnson was dean of law school that never opened
The Judge Paul Pressler School of Law never materialized, and its namesake was later accused of decades of sexual abuse.

Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions!

We had years of warnings.
He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged.

How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?

I've wondered how Trump could possibly think he could be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Then I remembered that Trump awarded the Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh. I can only conclude that Trump truly believes that everyone is as corruptible he is.

Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House called No Kings protests “hate America rallies”. Nothing could be further from the truth. These are true patriots exercising 1st Amendment rights to say we do not want dictatorship by Trump. We don’t want unneeded military troops in our cities. We want democracy.

Phang: We know that there is a move by 99% of the Republicans locked step with Trump and countless still unidentified billionaires and politicians to keep this from moving forward. How do we know? Because Speaker Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in Arizona Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva…

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

How are ICE agents allowed to wear the name Police across their tactical vests when they aren’t! This is impersonating a police officer in any other time line! God only knows who half of these men are that are grabbing people out of their vehicles with no warrant or reason! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
