Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Natalie Portman with a shaved head in the film V for Vendetta, which is a movie not real life, gazes at the masked anarchist revolutionary V, who again, is not real life but based on a comic book character.

"Meche" works making raisins in Fresno CA. Fresh grapes are placed on sheets of paper and then laid on the sand between rows. The suns heats the sand and dries out the grapes. She can feel the heat from the sand through her shoes while she earns 35 cents for each sheet. #WeFeedYou

The WH announced plans to take a 10% stake in Canadian mining co. Trilogy Metals. The stock price surged producing a windfall for billionaire Trump donor John Paulson who had large stake. A prime example of crony capitalism that such a govt. investment can invite.

Trump administration takes stake in Canadian mining company Trilogy Metals

Despite accusations of socialism by his own party, the White House’s stake in private companies exposes Trump’s free market hypocrisy.

Chicago woman shot by fed agent, then suspiciously allowed to leave and found by the fire department, has been released. The story from DHS still looks like a lie. Notably, they haven't released any footage despite there clearly being footage. Reluctance to release footage = big red flag t.ly/lEMzp

Text from October 7th, 2025 article titled "Federal agents taunted Chicago woman to ‘do something’ before shooting her, attorney claims" reads as follows: "The attorney for a woman who was shot by federal agents in Chicago over the weekend after she allegedly rammed a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) vehicle has claimed that body-camera footage captures one of the officers saying: “Do something, bitch,” before opening fire, according to the Chicago Sun-Times."
