The New York Times knows crime is not “out of control” in major U.S. cities — in fact, crime is way down from past years and decades — but NYT amplifies JD Vance’s lie without a fact check.
It’s journalism malpractice that helps the fascists.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Reps control the Wht Hs, Supreme Ct, House AND the Senate, yet they're trying to blame Dems for the shutdown. It will be interesting to see if this washes. The only power Dems have left in DC is filibustering bills, so if they cave again, they might as well stop showing up for work & go home.

BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved.

MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October

(Johnson canceled the House in August to avoid taking votes on Epstein)

Maybe, Mr. Mike Johnson.....STOP closing down Congress every week in order to try to change the mind's of those who say they vote against your little plan. You can't keep it closed forever. Open the doors.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

Can you imagine what taxpayers are paying to revamp the qutar jet 47 was gifted with? It'll be hundreds of millions. Also, we need all corporations to pay their fair share of taxes. And, national health care would help us all so much. Thank you so much for your comments. I appreciate it. ❤️ 💙

As far as the Gulf of Mexico. They said they renamed it, I'm guessing it's in the hearts of many, that they say it's still the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, I read somewhere on official white house document they referred to it as Gulf of Mexico recently, I'm sure they've corrected it by now.

Illegal immigrants don't qualify for Medicare. Fact checked via multiple congresspersons. I understand your point. If an illegal immigrant is sick and goes to the hospital they receive care just like you or I do, even if they don't have insurance. Most Hospitals if not all can't turn anyone away.

Yes. R.I.P. Diane Keaton.
My favorite Diane Keaton 🎬 movie....Something's Gotta Give. 2003. With Jack Nicholson, Keanu Reeves + other great actors. Great movie. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us, and many laughs.
