The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Fetterman hospitalized after sustaining ‘minor injuries’ in fall

This headline is very misleading. Fetterman had a cardiac event - ventricular tachycardia. That caused a syncopal episode that resulted in a fall. The real health issue is his cardiac status.

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

If you get Social Security and end up overpaid, immediately call and request a waiver if it isn't your fault and recovery would cause you financial hardship. SSA has to consider waiving it in that case, especially if it isn't too big.
