Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

JD Vance — begs folks to be patient with an economy he admits is bad. Trump — brags it’s the greatest ever.
I’ve said it so many times, Republicans stay synced and on message even when the message is a lie, but this slip tells a story.
There’s chaos behind the scenes and the wheels are coming off.

Pet owners are refusing rabies vaccines because of ‘pawtism’ fears. Anti-vax conspiracies have gone so far off the rails they’re endangering dogs. Rabies is 100% fatal once symptoms start. Misinformation is spreading faster than the viruses these days.

Will Trump voters choose to eat racism or food? Right now, MAGA is sustaining itself on the former, but for how long?
I'm really curious how long they are willing to suffer for their white nationalist King.
I know many will die for it as long as they can see us suffer, but let's see!

Trump told Zelensky in a tense meeting that he doesn't intend to provide long-range Tomahawk missiles, at least for now. Zelensky hoped to leave Washington with commitments around new weapons for Ukraine, but found Trump in a totally different state of mind a day after he held a call with Putin.
Trump rejects Zelensky on Tomahawk missiles in "tough" meeting
One source said the meeting "was not easy." Another simply said "it was bad."

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.
You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

GEO GROUP got $1.1 Billion in contracts this year, mostly from DHS to manage ICE facilities. Tom Homan was their paid consultant, Pam Bondi was their lobbyist.
Through PACs, a subsidiary, and individual donations, GEO GROUP gave $3,718,518 to the Trump campaign.
Here's what's odd-- (see thread)
