When MAGA says the majority supports Dump, remind them only 66% of Americans voted, & of those, he only won by 1.5%, one of the slimmest margins in history.

Less than 31% of US voting-eligible-citizens support him & 23% of the total pop.

+ Muskolini rigged the vote.

Seems like the IRS is trying to dirty delete the email saying all employees would receive backpay once the shutdown was over.

You want a fight? You've found it.

We're not backing down, and we know the attempts to deny furloughed feds backpay is illegal.

IRS backtracks on back pay guarantee for furloughed employees

An IRS employee told Federal News Network that earlier guidance emailed to employees on Wednesday was automatically deleted from their inboxes by Thursday.

A free press is an essential pillar of democracy. Just like, as we see, a beholden and compliant press is an essential pillar of autocracy.

If you wonder why more Americans aren’t upset about what’s going on, ask them where they get their news.

Real estate investors now own about 20% of single-family homes in the country.

A big reason why home prices have skyrocketed in recent years is a lack of supply — and investors sinking their teeth into whatever is left on the market is making the problem even worse.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
