"Kid Rock" looks like a plucked chicken that robbed a pimp and took his clothes. Not all is lost, though...at least he's a f*cking moron. #America

There it is: $20 billion for Argentina at the same time they’re taking markets away from our farmers.

But no $ for health insurance for Americans?

A producer and editor for WGN-TV was violently forced to the ground this morning by two Border Patrol agents, before having her hands cuffed behind her back, during an ICE action in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

I sat in the woods early this morning, watching and listening to a Red-Bellied Woodpecker. It's moments like this...that help me keep my stress hormones somewhat balanced. That woodpecker knew nothing about what Trump threatens. It was focused on what was in front of it: the tree it was clinging to.

I've done acquisitions so I looked into this to see what I could find. It's absolutely obvious that Scott Leiendecker was not positioned to pull this off. Staple Street Capital paid ~$38M for 75% of Dominion and got back $787.5M from Fox News. Who really bought Dominion from State Street Capital?

A free and fair election in 2026 just got even more unlikely.

America is under attack from hostile domestic enemies.
