Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is lying about falling prices as Americans drown in debt this holiday season. When he looks like he's crying and fumbles his words, he's lying. Gas isn't down. Groceries aren't down. Your wallet knows.

94 Palestinians died in Israeli detention during the genocide—nearly triple the previous decade's total. Israel's culture of secrecy prevents families from even knowing if loved ones are detained. Zero accountability, total impunity.

At Least 94 Palestinians Died in Israeli Detention During Genocide—Where’s the Outrage?
When it comes to Israel, the U.S. policy effectively boils down to, ‘Nothing to see here.’ A new report underscores the unprecedented level of impunity Israel enjoys.

Trump still has an 89% approval rating among Republicans—they're too far gone. Independents are turning fast, though. Now he's panic-floating tariff dividends and 50-year mortgages to win people back. Spoiler: they won't work.
