$47. And that’s if the government isn’t lying about the interest rate. Plus, they will have to prove she intentionally schemed to swindle $47 from the bank - as opposed to just not knowing the difference between a second home and an investment property. Good luck, Lindsay.

The grand jury indictment against New York AG Letitia James accuses her of receiving a lower-cost loan on a home she purchased.

James saved only about $50 a month with lower interest rate, the indictment alleges.

#BREAKING: Winner of 2025 Nobel Peace Prize is Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. Donald Trump led a public campaign to win the award, but didn’t make it. Hard for him to criticize this win as his administration been coming down hard on President Nicolás Maduro

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I love tahini as well with garlic and lemon as a dressing add some sumac and pomegranate seeds so good. I also love it with oatmeal with vanilla yogurt tahini and some maple syrup sweet or savory it’s amazing

This why Trump so wanted the shutdown. He can now:

fire federal employees at will.

defund healthcare - insurers are raising premiums already.

let farmers go bankrupt and send $20B to Argentina.

give his SIL a job in the Gaza Peace Plan. Jared collected $2B for the last one.

And much more…
