This is the photo I will show my family members whenever they claim they didn't want this. Even if they didn't, this is what the campaign said it was going to do. The fact that they conjured a "rational" reason to vote for this regime doesn't omit the fact they willfully ignored what it was saying.
People can say they didn’t vote for this but people are liars

In Dec., the Trump Organization sought approval to hire foreign workers for its Virginia winery at $13.90/hr—$1.91 less than what the winery paid in 2025.

Trump’s own Dep’t of Labor had made a rule change in Oct. allowing this type of foreign worker to be paid less.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Advice please.

Need sling for my 11yo greyhound. Arthritis in hip.

I’m 5’ 1”. Slings I’ve looked at appear to have handles that will be too long even if adjusted to the shortest length.

Any short people with greyhounds who can suggest a specific brand that you have used.

Thanks all.

There are two sides to the argument about Democratic senators allowing a vote on ending a shutdown. Personally, I think it was a mistake.

The bigger mistake is allowing the story to dominate multiple news cycles and take the focus away from denied SNAP benefits and skyrocketing health care costs.

NEW: Following a ProPublica investigation, more than two dozen House Democrats are pressing the Trump administration to reverse a new Department of Veterans Affairs policy that makes it harder for male veterans with breast cancer to get health coverage.
Trump’s VA Made It Harder for Male Veterans to Get Treatment for Breast Cancer. Lawmakers Want to Fix That.
After ProPublica revealed changes to how the Department of Veterans Affairs covers men with breast cancer, House members demanded the agency reverse its decision. Separately, new Senate legislation would require the VA to be more transparent.
