Orange47's economy has even imagination being affected by inflation. Now that we no longer have pennies, it costs at least a nickle for your thoughts and the minimum wish cost at wishing wells is five cents.

The Democrats need fresh and fighting blood in their party if they want to or expect to survive.
"I am tired of losing and worse, I am tired of expecting to lose. We need Democrats who will use their positions of power not to constantly capitulate, compromise, and cave, but to fight-- not to say the word ‘fight’ because it’s the popular thing to do, but to actually do it and mean it."
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
Senate Democrats have validated our worst fears about a party unwilling to meet the moment

Tell me why the news media is saying this is a bipartisan bill to reopen the government when it took over a month to convince just enough to barely scrape past the threshold? Bipartisan to me means both sides support, not one side was dragged to the table by their hair.

This is the reason people don't want to vote Democrat anymore. Hell I'm not even sure if I want to support this flailing fish of a party anymore, but where are the even semi viable alternatives? People like Sanders and Mamdani are more in my lane, but as Dem Socialist they are considered pariahs.

Glad reasonable people nullified the charges; shows there is still some hope.
They unanimously acquitted sandwich guy, even though this was probably misdemeanor assault. I know I joke a lot about this case, but this jury nullification is actually really embarrassing for Pirro/Trump/Bondi.
What if…they actually acquit him? Lol

An ICE vehicle rammed an American citizen's vehicle, someone who was simply driving to work, and then dragged her out of the car and drove away leaving her car abandoned on the street. Hours later, she is released without charges. She did absolutely nothing wrong and was treated like this.
Chicago woman dragged out of her car after colliding with ICE demands accountability
The arrest of Dayanne Figueroa highlights growing concerns about the use of force against U.S. citizens and due process. She was released after a few hours without charges.

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

It will never matter. Netanyahu will always claim a violation as an excuse to continue on the path he chose years ago.
NEWS: Israel has launched new strikes in Gaza after accusing Hamas of violating the ceasefire. The IDF says Hamas fighters fired on troops in Rafah, prompting retaliation. Netanyahu ordered forces to “act forcefully.” Hamas denies the charge, claiming it’s honoring the truce.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative
