Very cool and awesome that Congress can pass a law which functions as intended but 60 years later an unelected, unaccountable 9-member superlegislature can just say "Nah" and poof the law doesn't exist anymore.

If the press had acted like this 12 months ago we’d have avoided this whole mess and right now people would be complaining about Kamala Harris’ phased-in expansion of Medicare and increasing the minimum wage.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

Possibly the beginning of a new era in maritime transport!

The Neoliner Origin was designed in Nantes, France.

At 136 meters long, it’s the first industrial vessel built to run 70–80% of the time under sail, cutting fuel use and emissions by around 80%.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

This is great news!

Now he can go ahead with getting the Epstein files released.

The President of the United States is lying and/or delusional, and it seems like we should be talking about this and nothing else.

The protests are on one block. Nothing is burning down. His justification for sending in troops is all based on lies.
