America is not your sugar daddy, Lindsey.

A tweet from “MeidasTouch” reads:
“Casually extorting the American taxpayer out of tens of millions of dollars on live television.”
Below is a tweet from “Acyn” quoting Graham saying his phone records were seized and he plans to sue; when asked “For how much?” he replies, “Tens of millions of dollars.”
The image shows Graham speaking on the show Hannity.

🔥Fed officials were DEEPLY divided on October's cut
"Many participants" said NO MORE cuts needed in 2025

🔥Several warned further cuts risk "inflation
becoming entrenched"

🔥The vote was 10-2, but the sentiment was far more
split

CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

Autism and
Vaccines
QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS
PAGE 2 OF 9 | ALL PAGES J
For Everyone
NOV. 19, 2025
KEY POINTS
• The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.
• Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.

HHS Research on Plausible Biologic
Mechanisms between Vaccines and Autism
HHS will evaluate plausible biologic mechanisms between early childhood vaccinations and autism. Mechanisms for further investigation include the impacts of aluminum adjuvants, risks for certain children with mitochondrial disorders, harms of neuroinflammation, and more.
* The header "Vaccines do not cause autism" has not been removed due to an agreement with the chair of the
U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee that it would remain on the CDC website.

Wow… so prosecutors admitted in federal court that the operative indictment against James Comey was never actually shown to or voted on by the full grand jury before being presented? If that’s true, the defense is right—procedurally, that could be a total barrier to continuing the prosecution.

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 1d

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.

Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

Trump's HUD is preparing to gut federal support for long-term housing programs.

The changes could put 170,000 formerly homeless people at risk of losing their housing — many of whom are disabled or over 50.

The cruelty is endless. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Everything is a very expensive exercise in vanity.

A tweet from Michael Freeman (@michaelpfreeman) reads:
“But cancer research was deemed a waste of money.”
It quotes FactPost (@factpostnews), which says:
“Trump’s order to change the Department of Defense’s name to the ‘Department of War’ could cost an estimated $2B in taxpayer dollars.”
Below are two images: one shows a man affixing a sign that reads “Pete Hegseth — Secretary of War,” and the other shows Trump smiling.

"Prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship & advising a foreign graduate student or postdoc. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding."
