This is insane. If I were a nurse I'd quit or at least go on strike. This will make finding nurses, the amount of federal loans is reduced so there isn't very much money.

We already have a nursing problem! This is going to make it worse! 😠
Where are my nurses and medical professionals on the feed? Now would be a great time for nurses to strike, just sayin.

I really dislike it when a funeral takes over every major TV news station. It's like a bank holiday for the journalists or something.

The DOT is asking for etiquette to return to flights. I might remind them that the DOT is an Executive Branch Department so when it comes to etiquette, you first.

If the federal government can't demonstrate etiquette and respect, they don't really have the ability to ask other people to.

Looks like CNN might become another enemy of the people with fake news and shitty liar personalities.

Conservative billionaires, especially friends of Trump are buying up as much media as they can. It's unlikely they will be able to get NBC so it will stand alone as the only uncorrupted ntnl news.

They're going to tie this up in investigations? There is literally nothing that Congress can't demand, and when a unanimous (except for one procedural protest vote) Congress demands something, it's not as simple as tying it up for years with legal procedural BS.

The FBI just announced that they are raising the ten million dollar reward for a criminal to fifteen million dollars.

If ten wasn't enough, is five more going to help? Was someone holding out until the reward got to fifteen? 😆

before we discuss how disgusting this person is, she's also a Democrat that served at the highest levels - don't lie to yourself that this isn't that common.

Jimmy Carter was the last American president that gave a shit about Palestinians. Now it seems our leaders hate them.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.

The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

This is the dumbest idiot with the dumbest idea for healthcare. For someone who has never had to pay for healthcare or anything in his life, shit like this makes sense to him - just like thinking you need ID to go to a grocery store.

This will be appealed up to SCOTUS but SCOTUS will have to decide this on the best interests of the Constitution now and forever. Allowing this kind of gerrymandering has to be very clearly unconstitutional now that an entire legislature can indulge it's worst political fetishes like this POS.
A federal judge in Texas has struck down the state's newly redrawn congressional map.

Progressives who are overlooking his controversies don't like controversy but it's a sign of how desperately the left wants away from establishment Dems or even just the party itself. The majority of Dems are in favor of a nationalized healthcare system but the party is vehemently against it. 🤷‍♂️
Can Graham Platner, the upstart Maine Senate candidate mired in controversy, beat the incumbent, Susan Collins? “I have no idea,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes after spending time with his campaign. “But he’s nothing like the edgelord caricature I encountered online.”

The Epstein file vote was 427-1. I hope everyone understands the significance of that to everything Trump is doing right now. The rats are jumping ship.

If those files are released and Trump's name aren't in them is anyone going to believe it?

McDonalds has gotten soo expensive that poor people can't eat there anymore and the hoity-toity who are stooping down from fine dining to McDs can't afford anything else.

In Demolition Man, Taco Bell was fine dining, maybe this is the beginning of the Restaurant Wars!
McDonald's is losing its low-income customers. Economists call it a symptom of the stark wealth divide
These customers are feeling the pressures of higher prices on groceries and apparel and the growing cost of rent and child care, the company's chief executive said in a recent earnings call.

Holy moly! This is both the best and most terrifying video I have seen in the past year. No kidding. Robotic hands are a really big deal so if you watch this, pay attention to how well they work. This is the thing that leads directly to Skynet.

Finally maybe she's said something that no one can stomach and her career is ruined so we don't see or hear from her ever again. Send her to do talk radio on a military base in Greenland.🤣
Awe...is she going to allow him to watch over young girls close to her? Does she want in on the action? She's a sick little diva.

This is hilarious. I looked up the poll and it looks legit and the MPRC is a reliable and fair organization that we can count on. If the election were held today and Graham was the candidate, he would win, mils would lose.

Mills would lose over people still pissed about the mask rules alone.
🚨BREAKING🚨: We're going to win.

Trump is defunding our homeless and housing programs to save billions but don't worry, the Senate will get their paychecks asap.

Good luck with the millions more people who will be homeless on the streets when you take away the helping hand they need.

Who gives a shit? Those people should be the absolute last people to be given their money.

Also, House pay should be docked for every day they didn't work over the Speaker's BS.
November 13, 2025 at 6:34 PM
I didn't know there was a pathway to states keeping income taxes. I think states like California, where Trump is withholding disaster funds, should withhold the amount Trump is not paying.

This is what you do when refusing to pay anyone, put the money into an escrow account. Judges like that.
