Millions Face Rising Costs as Congress Weighs Health Care Plans
WASHINGTON — With enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire at the end of the year, millions of Americans are bracing for sharply higher health insurance premiums. For families who rely on the subsidies to keep monthly costs manageable, and for patients with chronic conditions who depend on stable coverage, the financial gap between competing proposals in Congress is substantial — and potentially life‑changing.

The Mediocrity of MAGA

If you elect unqualified, corrupt, reckless people, don't be surprised if you win the world's worst prizes. For America, it's a terrible economy, endless scandals, and a white nationalist regime.

Trump’s Tariffs, America’s Bailout
When Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on America’s trading partners, his administration branded them a “lifeline for the middle class.” Supporters claimed tariffs would protect U.S. jobs and industries. But years later, the reality is undeniable: higher consumer prices, disrupted supply chains, lost export markets, and taxpayer-funded bailouts. The latest example came in December 2025, when Trump announced a new $12 billion bailout for farmers.

The Fight for Warner Bros.: A Hostile Bid With High Stakes
The Fight for Warner Bros.: A Hostile Bid With High Stakes David Ellison’s hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery has sparked growing alarm across the entertainment industry, political watchdog groups, and media‑freedom advocates, who warn that the attempt carries significant risks for the independence of one of the world’s most influential cultural institutions. Yet amid the concern, a broader message is emerging: this moment is also an opportunity to reaffirm the values that sustain a free society.

The Supreme Court Is Abandoning Its Duty
The Supreme Court’s decision to allow Texas’ mid‑decade congressional map to stand is the latest in a growing series of rulings that critics say reveal a troubling institutional pattern: when confronted with disputes that could disadvantage Donald Trump or his political allies, the Court repeatedly chooses inaction, delay, or procedural escape hatches over direct constitutional enforcement. For many Americans — especially those whose communities have fought for decades to be fairly represented — this isn’t just another legal setback.

Washington, D.C. — December 2025. President Donald Trump is facing some of the lowest approval ratings of his presidency, leaving him politically isolated as Republican lawmakers and allies quietly step back. Recent polls show Trump’s approval sinking into the mid-30s, with disapproval nearing 60%. A Gallup survey in late November placed his approval at 36%, while a Reuters/Ipsos poll recorded…

Fair Maps, Fair Voices: Why TN-7 Deserves Better
When politicians redraw district lines to protect themselves, everyone loses. That is precisely what happened here in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District. Nashville’s neighborhoods were carved apart, Clarksville’s growing voice was diluted, and Franklin was folded into a map designed not to reflect communities, but to rig outcomes. The result is a district that looks less like a community and more like a political puzzle, stitched together to serve partisan interests rather than the people who call it home.

WASHINGTON — The deadly ambush near the Farragut West Metro station on November 26 has intensified scrutiny of President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops in the nation’s capital, his immigration policies, and his broader Project 2025 agenda. Two West Virginia Guard members were attacked while on patrol; 20‑year‑old Sarah Backstrom was killed, and 24‑year‑old Andrew Wolfe remains in critical condition.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

Bluesky Emerges as Progressive Counterbalance to X’s Rightward Shift
The struggle for the future of online discourse is increasingly defined not only by technology but by ideology. As X (formerly Twitter) cements its reputation as a right-leaning platform under Elon Musk’s ownership, Bluesky is rising as the progressive alternative — smaller in scale but steadily gaining traction among younger, privacy-conscious users. X remains the global giant, with an estimated 600 million users worldwide, serving as the default platform for breaking news and real-time conversation.

the military personal has the right to disobey any illegal or unlawful orders. Since bonespurs never serve anytime in the military he would not know this
Today, the president of the United States said that multiple US senators should be put to death for treason and articles of impeachment have not been filed yet. This country is cooked. Done. Finished.
