Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

the last Rush Hour movie came out in 2007 and had a significantly lower box office than 2, and now you're reviving it 20 years later as a personal vanity project of the unpopular President?

just one more data point for "David Ellison is going to run Paramount right into the fucking ground"
Rush Hour 4 is reportedly a go at Paramount – after Trump intervened on behalf of the movie.

NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

one of the biggest changes from Trump 1, where there was weekly turnover (remember Scaramucci?) is that Trump has been determined not to give anyone "wins" by firing his guys no matter how embarrassingly they fuck up

but now that he's losing on every front, there appear to be limits

When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

Donald Trump sent more money to bail out Argentina than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits for just 1 year.

I know scouting has a long history of controversy, but in blue ass Massachusetts, I was always taught how to protect the enviroment, respect indigineous cultures, and be a good citizen to everyone regardless of identity.

I guess that was too woke for them.

As an Eagle Scout and now a scoutmaster, I can say by adding girls it just makes us a better organization. More opportunities for the whole family.
