Don't forget that in all its wisdom, SCOTUS ruled corporations are people too.
I'm guessing it's going to be a rocky relationship between DOGE and GOP congress people. Bringing home pork is one of a congress person's responsibility when it comes to local representation!

Teachers are heroes in more ways than one! Treat them better than glorified babysitters and pay them better.

"The teacher died protecting her class. Many more lives could have been taken."

In his press conference on Monday, Trump said medicine prices are too high compared to other countries and that he wants to eliminate the middleman in the process, presumably this is the insurance companies!

America the ironic.

You kill a millionaire CEO of a company who denies the sick life saving health care, you are a psychopath terrorist.

You kill a homeless man in a mental health crisis or gun down a protestor, you are a hero invited to the Army Navy game by the vice president.
Daniel Penny will attend Army-Navy football game with Trump and Vance
"I'm grateful he accepted my invitation," Vice President-elect JD Vance said.
