Surprise! It’s another scam!
Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

JAWS and the 2026 Hall of Fame Ballot: Ryan Braun
The five-tool slugger won an NL MVP award, but his career is tainted by his PED use and the extremes he went to in an attempt to evade suspension.

The truly scary thing here is that this family followed vaccination protocol. They were all vaccinated and the mother had the booster. Baby was too young to have gotten the first shot. But she still ended up getting sick and almost dying.
We're losing herd immunity to a lot of preventable diseases.

"At just 2 weeks old, Feleena Owens was struggling to breathe.
The newborn was coughing so badly, her skin turned a sickly gray-blue color. Her face contorted as she tried to gulp air. 'I think the longest she would stop breathing was about 10, 11 seconds,' said her mother."

Whooping cough cases soar as vaccination rates drop
In an NBC News data investigation of 31 states, about 70% of counties and jurisdictions fell below the target vaccination rate needed for community protection.

the media is so transparently in the tank for the GOP at this point
Truly insane that the networks took this speech live after refusing to do the same for Biden in 2022
In a nationwide address that major US TV networks are carrying live, President Trump announces 1,450,000 military members will receive a "warrior dividend" of $1776 before Christmas.

The easiest NO for me on the ballot, and it wasn’t even close.
I’d toss a courtesy vote to a one-and-done guy before I’d consider Braun, and I don’t understand the mental gymnastics one has to do justify voting for him.

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke
On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

What Rao and Walker are trying to do here is create a mechanism where Trump can ignore court orders. You simply defy any order, insist that the court refer the investigation for contempt to Trump’s own DOJ, and then ignore the referral.
