Funny how the Heritage Foundation – architects of Project 2025 and self‑styled guardians of “family values,” a “biblically ordered” America – have nothing to say about the full release of the Epstein files.
MTG beat them to it.
And they say Americans don’t understand irony?
Let that sink in.🤔

This is Ahmad. He as you can see, is recovering in hospital after disarming one of the shooters at Bondi Beach. Australians have donated over 1 million dollars towards his recovery. He is such a hero.

Interesting how once it became known he was a Syrian immigrant and a Muslim, the ABC and all the right wing media suddenly lost interest in in the “Hero of Bondi”. I wonder why that is. 🤔

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

What's striking about Trump's lies, and those of his apologists, is that they're not even plausible. They don't try to be plausible. As others have noted, that's kind of the point. True authoritarian control and power is telling a blatant and obvious lie, and showing you can get away with it.
Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?
LEAVITT: We've given you an explanation. The president is literally constantly shaking hands.

Ahmed Al Ahmed, is 43, a father of 2 and owner of a fruit shop in Sutherland, Australia.
Yesterday, he disarmed a terrorist targeting a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach where 12 humans were killed.
Ahmed was unarmed. He was shot twice and is expected to make a full recovery. Hero. 💔

All true, but I believe it's more than that. Polls have shown a substantial majority of Americans support sensible gun legislation. But our politics are broken because of money and gerrymandering, and Republicans feel free to ignore what people think. Safe seats are bad for democracy.

A reminder that the deadline to enroll in ACA coverage starting January 1st is Monday night in most states.
In Idaho that’s the FINAL deadline for 2026 coverage.
If you’ve been holding off in hopes of a last-minute deal…don’t wait any longer. Enroll before Monday night.
