UAE firm quietly took stake in the Trump family’s crypto company
The Trump family’s business dealings with the UAE have blurred the line between government and private enterprise, alarming ethics experts and congressional Democrats.

By every definition, Alex Pretti is a damn good American who should still be here today. Pretti was an ICU nurse for the VA, exercising his 1st and 2nd amendment rights at a protest when ICE pinned him down and shot him to death.

This is one of the most exciting protests I've seen yet.
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO
this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

It appears that trump is our first truly socialist President as he tries to control the means of production.
President Donald Trump said he wouldn’t allow defense companies to issue dividends or buy back their own stock until they invest more in production and research
Trump Demands Defense Companies Stop Buybacks and Dividends
President Donald Trump threatened to stop doing business with defense contractor RTX Corp. unless the maker of Patriot missile systems invests more in its production capabilities in a sign of mounting frustrations with the industry.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

The best stat is Canadian median wealth is over $30,000 HIGHER. That's in USD too.
US GDP per capita is 30% higher, but it doesn't trickle down to regular folks like you and me.

I am thankful for the time and support of Idahoans I’ve met from Boundary county to Bear Lake, and Canyon county to Clark.
We are an exceptional state with extraordinary people who simply want the best for their kids and their neighbors.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

This is a great piece of reporting. The vast majority are our neighbors and people who make our community stronger.
A judge’s order means more than 600 people arrested by ICE in the Chicago region and held in custody could be released on various conditions but only if they don’t pose a risk to public safety.
Judge says he’ll order release of hundreds of people arrested under feds’ deportation blitz
The 615 detainees are from a list of roughly 1,800 arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Chicago area between June 11 and Oct. 7, and there could be more to come.

If you’re serious about the national debt then you don’t fire IRS workers who bring in $6-8 of revenue for every $1 of their salary. That’s one of the best returns you can find.

The IRS is laying off people during the shutdown, even though it was rehiring staff it previously fired because it was so shorthanded.
This one stands out because firing IRS employees costs the government money, since they bring in about $6-8 for every dollar spent on tax enforcement

We are fortunate to have Sen Warnock in the Senate as a voice of faith in these times.
@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."
