I know the European Union can’t kick out Hungary, but I don’t see why they can’t start a political campaign calling for them to leave on their own accord. Clearly they prefer the company of communism and fascism, so let them see themselves out the way Great Britain did. Ukraine can have their seat.

Trump is giving Argentina $40 billion during a government shutdown with no consultation with congress and Reuters is posting this bulls**t acting like the Democrats are the reason we are in this f***ing mess. They have really dropped the ball lately. Unfollow…

The two-week-old federal government shutdown is costing the US economy about $15 billion a day in lost output, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, urging Democrats to 'be heroes' and side with Republicans to end it reut.rs/47eh25e

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Why do these farmers refuse to say trump’s name or even “this administration?” The 2018/19 trade war with China was trump. This time its trump again. Have some f***ing courage to get the public’s attention and more support for your industry!
Unless they all voted for him 😒 🤦‍♂️…

A screenshot of a quote by Caleb Ragland about the devastating impact tariffs are having on the soybean industry as China buys from South America instead of USA. Most noted is the way these farming representatives refuse to call out Trump for the way they are losing the trade war.

So, 2 things:

1. Glad a reporter asked about this.

2. The reporter ultimately didn't ask Johnson a moral/religious question, but a technical policy one. Given Johnson's background, worth asking him *specifically* if he supports shooting clergy w/pepper balls and if it's a religious liberty concern

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Seriously, tho, the people voting trump for “Christian” reasons has always been such bullsh*t. He actually admitted he’s not going to heaven but they’d still vote for him a fourth time…

The f***ing silence of these people is so damn deafening. Someone literally holds up a mirror to them to show the clown makeup they have all over their face and all they can do is sit there and say nothing. It’s so pathetic it’s sad.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

We have to keep going or they will just keep publishing misinformation to keep billionaires happy.

Remember folks! You need to block/hide articles from the outlets that no longer work for the people. Less clicks, less views, less $$, means less right-leaning bulls**t that ignores facts.

God it's so gross hearing reporters talk about Israeli "hostages" but then refer to Palestinian "prisoners held without charge" like what's the material difference between these two categories?

Without charge or trial.

“Prior to Monday’s release, 11,056 Palestinians were held in Israeli prisons... At least 3500 of those were held in administrative detention without trial. An Israeli military database has indicated that only a quarter of those detained in Gaza were classified as fighters.”

A tweet by James Surowiecki replying to David J. Bier. Surowiecki asks, “Where in the Immigration and Nationality Act does it say that US citizens have to prove that they're citizens or else be arrested?” The quoted tweet by Bier reads, “ICE agents to US citizen: Turn around or you're getting the dog,” accompanied by a photo of a man wearing a face mask and standing near vehicles at night.

New in PN: Republicans are totally full of it on healthcare.

It becomes more obvious every time they talk about it. And it's a big reason the shutdown is turning out to be such a disaster for them.
