The Flex Loan, a new type of payday loan pioneered by Advance Financial in Tennessee, allows residents to borrow up to $4,000 at a 279.5% interest rate.

It has burdened low-income borrowers while generating huge profits for lenders.

“attempt”?
Trump's legal letter to the BBC reads like an attempt at a shakedown.

Can a brave journalist ask this imbecile: Mr. President, what do we commemorate on the 11th of November?

Ask this question & watch his full display of absolute ignorance.

Exactly right. Why should we respect a president who doesn’t respect the constitution he swore an oath to uphold?

In a firsthand account, Norwegian journalist Amund Trellevik was invited to the U.S. via a long-standing State Department program, but his trip was abruptly cancelled.
This symbolizes a deeper erosion in America’s ability to project influence & trust abroad.

On Veterans Day, we honor those who served and commit to serving them in return — not just in words, but in actions.

Affordability and a real commitment to mental health are essential to ensure that every veteran can build a future here in New York City.

"The Democrats could have made a better run at veterans in 2024...Wes Moore, Seth Moulton, Jason Crow and Elaine Luria—and Tammy Duckworth and Abigail Spanberger and Elissa Slotkin (the CIA counts) and Mikie Sherrill—should lead the charge into 2026 and beyond."

New in PN: Cue the rebellion

"The unfortunate conclusion to the shutdown is going to fuel a rebellion within the Democratic Party, one that has already begun but will only get stronger. And despite all the justified disgust now being expressed at Dems, in the long run it will be good for the party"
Cue the rebellion
The Democratic base is enraged at their party's capitulation — and that's a good thing.

Will never not be amused by recipes that purport to be "a classic that can be whipped up with simple store-cupboard ingredients" then proceed to list things like fresh guava, nduja sausage, organic ground kashmiri chiilies and tinned quails' ears.

Not in my fucking cupboard.

If you were expecting an outcry from the press and M$M about the latest rounds of Trump pardons. You will be greeted by a big media yawn.
That’s where we are: undermining the rule of law, spitting on the work of juries, abusing Presidential power, starving folks & depriving them of basic healthcare.
