It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

See for yourself.

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

Then the spouses, who generally manage the household finances, will have to figure out whether to use that lump sum on groceries, which they cannot afford, or to actually use it towards housing, which they cannot afford. Masterful plan.
OK, so the warrior dividends come from a housing allowance supplement that was in the Big Beautiful Bill, it has nothing to do with tariffs. That housing allowance for off-base expenses has been seen as inadequate, which necessitated the increase.

Trump rebrands Congressionally-approved troop housing subsidy as ‘warrior dividend’ bonus
More than $2.9 billion in reconciliation funds was allocated to beef up troop housing allowances. Now, it’s being used for $1,776 checks.

Almost no new jobs have been added since April and 710,000 more people are unemployed now compared to a year ago.

Meanwhile consumer prices are skyrocketing thanks to Trump's tariffs.

Does this sound like an "A+++++" economy to you?

Donald Trump is mentally unwell. Any reporter who covers him as if this should not be considered and addressed when writing about his acting as “President” is seriously failing at their job.

ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.

I'm well aware that no one is listening when I say that we're in the middle of an active insurrection that is extremely violent in its rhetoric, extremely dangerous to our rights, extremely contemptuous of America and its institutions and 100% willing to J6 us again, but that doesn't make it untrue.

When the mercury plummets to -40° (where Celsius and Fahrenheit finally agree), most sensible creatures burrow inward. But not in the Yukon. Here, in this land where exhaled breath crystallizes mid-air and exposed skin stings within seconds, I found myself moved to dance Bhangra.

NEW: The Trump-Vance White House has falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo — Sr. Norma Pimentel — of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, and cut off all federal funding to Catholic Charities in Texas.

Church leaders say it’s a targeted, political reprisal against Pope Leo and the Catholic Church.

Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley — praised by Pope Leo as an “agent of hope” — now faces a six-year federal funding ban. Church leaders say it’s a vendetta by the Trump-Vance White House.
