This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:
“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”
That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
After listening to the sound track all day, I had to rewatch it.
Brad and Janet run into trouble on their honeymoon - a flat tire, and the only place in sight is the castle of the lovely Dr. Frank-N-Furter.
Don't be shy-who else loves this movie?

When Trump unveiled DOGE last year, I warned it would gut programs that help ordinary people, while turning a blind eye to tax loopholes and subsidies for billionaires.

Riding the high of Trump's latest tax cuts, corporations are seeing record profits and will make over $1.1T in stock buybacks this year — an all-time high.
Meanwhile, layoffs have totaled 1.1M so far in 2025 — the highest level since the pandemic.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.
That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.
