Save Your Child from Autocracy and Poverty! In 1917 the U.S. started the war savings stamps program, with incredible poster such as this. Sadly, this is us here and NOW! It is an internal message. Autocracy wants poverty and dismantling of rights for a one-party, one person rule. #resist

The bad news is that it appears CBS News has fallen.

Whose inauguration? What?
Trump on the ballroom: "It's bigger than I told you. It's, you know -- after realizing we're gonna do the inauguration in that building, it's got all bulletproof glass, it's got all drone, they call it drone-free roof. It's dronessss -- won't touch it. It's a big beautiful safe building."

Bad move for the Kansas City Chiefs. The Legends area is where the NASCAR track and Sporting KC stadium are located there's no reason to go out there, zero. They should have found a place near the state line or river, like the new KC Current stadium, at least the branding stays Kansas City. 👎

Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families.
But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.
