BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

These Trump billionaires think we’re all morons. Their excuses while they raid the treasury and play us all for suckers are getting worse and worse.

If you’re in the Eastern District of Virginia and you get a jury summons, maybe don’t sit this one out. You could end up on a Jim Comey or Tish James case.

The verdict is in, and Texas manufacturers overwhelmingly agree: Trump’s tariff taxes are hurting Texas workers, causing economic pain, and damaging American competitiveness

Our manufacturing industry is shrinking as a result. Fewer jobs, less economic infusion, and higher costs for consumers.

After threatening Democratic lawmakers—who were standing up for thier constituents in the gerrymander fight—to come home or else disaster relief for flood victims wouldn't pass, Texas Republicans couldn't get it passed anyway. And now they're gone.

Sen. John Kennedy wants the National Guard in New Orleans because there aren't enough cops. "He's not a commentator on Fox. He's a senator. What they could do is pass a bill that gives funding to local jurisdictions to hire more police."

“What I can say to the people, to President Trump, and to everyone watching this podcast is, let’s be more empathetic, let's be more, more humane, knowing that we can't make firewood from a fallen tree, and that we should first have self-love.” - Andry’s message to Trump

If we don't flip the Senate, Trump and his MAGA loyalists will keep marching this country toward authoritarianism.

I won't let that happen. I've faced down real crises, from combat zones to the vacuum of space. I know what it takes to make high-stakes decisions when failure isn't an option.

Seeing the northern lights from space changes everything. From orbit, politics look tiny. This is what happens when Earth’s noise fades away — and real perspective takes over.

If your senator is Andy Kim, or one of the 27 Democrats who voted for these critical resolutions, please give them some appreciation.

It shouldn’t take bravery to take this moral stand against forced starvation, and yet our fucked up politics require it. We need to welcome that bravery.
I voted tonight to support the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval because the humanitarian catastrophe and widespread starvation underscores the necessity to end the military campaign in Gaza and allow for unfettered humanitarian access.
