Why not both?
Jeffries: This is only going to end in one of two ways. Either Republicans are going to agree to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits before December 31st of this year, or the American people are going to throw Republicans out of office because of their failure to make life better.

It's official - the US government will no longer celebrate World AIDS Day; this is the first time since the inaugural WAD on December 1, 1988. We'll continue to commemorate this day, remembering lives lost to a preventable condition, and work towards ending the epidemic.

The Trump administration’s war on tourism in red states continues
National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)
And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.
This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns

Thanksgiving preparations are underway, the 2026 elections are shifting into gear, and the Bills are wondering if they might not make the playoffs. Here are some facts, observations, and heard-on-the-streets: There seems to be some problems in MAGAland. Affordability and the cost of groceries, inflation, rising medical and other insurance costs, threats to SNAP coverage, etc. And lest we forget: the Epstein files – what will actually be released?

If you think women here can't be forced backwards...
These are women in Parliament in Iran in the mid-1970's.
Their decline feels familiar.
A reaction to women having too many rights.
A fear of what was happening to traditional family.
A desire for younger wives.
A closing of the fist.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
