McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

The Trump administration put billionaires, giant corporations and their profits first this year, while working people struggled to make ends meet.
Workers are fed up. And in 2026, America’s unions are ready to shift the fight back into overdrive.

This little guy I take care of will lose his homecare night nurse who keeps him healthy. He will lose his medicaid insurance for medications, diagnostic s, hospitalization, and medication. RX will not be filled. Project 2025 will kill thousands of children in 2026 alone.

Khanna: You’ve got the DOJ releasing the names of survivors—which they are not allowed to do by law—but not releasing the FBI interview files with those same survivors. Those FBI interviews contain the names of other men: Wall Street tycoons and politicians…

I’ve made a copy of the 60 Minutes INSIDE CECOT segment. If Substack takes it down, I’ll put it up on my website. I know there are cleaner copies out there, but I kinda like the punk rock bootlegged version. The link is in my pinned post if you haven’t seen it yet.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.
