So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.

As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

I'm not an economist but I don't see how this doesn't end in economic collapse. 1. Deporting the labor force that maintains our basic necessities 2. Slashing funding for education, government, and healthcare 3. Massive layoffs across the private sector 4. Destroying relationships with allies.

The US banks want nothing to do with propping up Argentina’s economy. The country has defaulted on its sovereign debt nine times. Yet we entered into a “currency swap” for their pesos that we will never get back.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Megyn Kelly has a 14-year-old daughter. She can’t possibly think she’s an adult capable of consent.

every time a child dies of a preventable disease in the next few years, that's the payoff for Nuzzis horniness
Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

A 50 yr mortgage allows interest & fees to accrue over 50 yrs

A $500K payment isn’t significantly reduced beyond $100 -$150 & leaves them house poor.

W/o a $10K sales price reduction per $100K at set interest rates or a rate decrease to lower payments $500-$1K, only the banks win.

So lemme get this straight. You are eliminating the tariffs on tropical fruits, coffee and beef to lower prices since you took the mantel of the "affordability" President today.
I'm a little confused, though. If tariffs weren't paid for by me, then how is eliminating them saving me money? Ill wait.

As a concerned person, can someone please do a welfare check on Megan Kelly's daughter... Her mother thinks it's ok for her daughter to be diddled by old men. That's a problem

Unbelievable. Trump-aligned figures are now trying to raid the U.S. Treasury by turning their own criminal and unethical conduct into giant payout claims and the DOJ is actually entertaining it.

Huh.

Trump dropped the tariffs on coffee, beef, and tropical fruit to LOWER PRICES.

I thought other countries paid for those?

Can you imagine a woman of color, say a Black reporter, who was caught in an affair with a Presidential candidate THAT SHE WAS COVERING, getting completely rehabilitated less than a year later with a cushy new job and puff piece profile in the paper of record?

Nope.

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.

They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.

They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.

There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.

This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law!

That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.
