So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Not to be alarmist....but if you have autopay turned on for your ACA plan and do not plan on paying the high premium....minimally, turn off autopay. They will take the money from your account.

Rents and mortgages are generally due on the 1st; insurances renew typically on the 31st.

Please make sure every military member you know knows this.
Trump’s promise Wednesday to pay troops a “warrior dividend” bonus is actually a military housing stipend already approved by Congress, and not a generous new White House program.
Trump claims credit for military bonus that Congress already approved
The White House’s plans for a “warrior dividend” to reward troops this holiday season are actually housing assistance funds approved this summer.

Is Trump's Commerce Secretary boosting AI data centers to line the pockets of his own family while jacking up electricity costs for you?

I'm pressing for an investigation now.

Republicans want to give ICE the power to strip-search immigrant children to look for so-called “gang tattoos” and send them to prison-like facilities.

Yes, the same ICE that sent men to El Salvador for soccer and autism awareness tattoos.

💥💥BOOM!! Democrat Gary Clemons won an overwhelming victory in today’s special election for Kentucky State Senate District 37, taking nearly 74% of the vote. It’s worth noting that Kamala Harris carried this district by just 6 points in 2024.

The number one concern I hear from people is about their health care coverage.

Even if you aren't on Medicaid, Medicare, or an Affordable Care Act plan, the Republican health care crisis will impact you.

Their cuts will make premiums rise and hurt health care for everyone.

Letting AI decide whether or not you can get the treatment your real-life doctor thinks you need? Nobody is asking for this. It's an irresponsible dangerous gamble by the Trump Administration.

America didn’t get downgraded by accident Trump drove it there. They’re the markers governments and investors use to spot countries sliding into authoritarianism. The world isn’t warning us anymore it’s confirming it.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

NVIDIA's CEO spent the past year lobbying Trump to greenlight the sale of advanced AI chips to China, which could undercut US national security.

Now he's heading to Capitol Hill to push his agenda in secret meetings.

“In ‘91, when Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into backruptcy, I was getting shot at over Iraq and Kuwait. In 2001, after Trump said the collapse of the Twin Towers meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 9/11 victims into space on a rocket ship.”
