Trump spends $300 million on his ballroom, $172 million on Kristi Noem’s private jet, $10 million on promoting his own golf courses.

But working people have to pay more for health care.

Corruption. Plain and simple.

Putin Cannot Pay His Inner Circle Anymore
Video by Jason Jay Smart

Putin's three crisises: he's bleeding manpower based on a strategic fantasy, his economy is collapsing, & his bargain with Chechnya is failing as they're not getting the promised federal money!

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d much rather have an entire Somali immigrant family with two happy trans kids living right next door to me than a white supremacist or a racist MAGA lunatic any day of the week.

“She’ll go down as one of the worst press secretaries in modern history — evasive, condescending, and utterly incapable of leveling with the public.

Every briefing is a masterclass in deflection, not transparency.

A cruel job performance wrapped in incompetence.”

It’s probably just a coincidence that Trump is decorating the Oval Office just like a parlor at Jeffrey Epstein’s house.

This is indeed unexpected, but from another perspective, it may actually make California's gerrymandering plan more credible. Since the court allowed Texas to use the old map, there is naturally more reason for California voters to respect the reforms they support.
In a surprising twist, the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to let Texas use its mid-decade gerrymander for the 2026 midterm elections may end up strengthening California’s defense of its voter-approved map. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
