The entire Republican Administration is corrupt as HELL, and yet there isn’t any public outrage from corporate media because they are bought off too!

If that was AOC or any other progressive there would be a LINE of socialists to challenge them.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

With TRAITOROUS pro-MAGA "Democratic" Sen. John Fetterman joining Republicans in opposing a measure to rein in Trump’s ability to unilaterally bomb ships in the Caribbean Sea, the US Senate narrowly failed to advance a war powers resolution Wednesday.

Don't stop talking about the Epstein files.

The president of the United States is terrorizing people across this country based on his political ideology. Which by very definition makes him a terrorist. If you think because you voted for Donald Trump that you're safe, you're more fucked up than I thought you were.

AI companies are spending billions on deals with each other, which boost their value.

This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025.

Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment.

Be warned.

WIC is a lifeline that helps new parents keep their babies fed.

But thanks to Republicans' government shutdown, WIC funds could run out in a matter of weeks.

Republicans must re-open the government NOW and stop playing with people's lives.

The federal shutdown puts nutrition aid for millions of new parents at risk

Nearly seven million pregnant women and young children depend on WIC for healthy foods. Advocates say funding could run out in about two weeks, leaving states to close the gap if their budgets allow.
