Republicans in Congress strangely silent on the Argentina bailout to benefit Bessent’s friends.

It also helps you to avoid talking about it when you are never asked about it.

The fact that Portland was able to hide their entire war zone from Kristi Noem shows you just how complicit they are in destroying their own city. That's how devious these antifa terrorists are. They hide their own terror from you.

Great conference on Open Dialogue for #WorldMentalHealthDay . Rachel Bannister founder of Mental Health Time for Action shares this quote on the necessity for #optimism & #hope. #MentalHealth #OddessiStudy

Optimism is a strategy for making a better future because unless you believe that the future can be better you are unlikely to step up & take responsibility for making it so. -Noam Chomsky

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Thank you @nytopinion.nytimes.com for publishing this rot. Marc Rowan has run hundreds of companies into the dust to extract profits from their failure and bankruptcies. Now he wants to do the same to American higher education. Do not believe a word this man says. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/o...

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.
