As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Betty’s family announced her passing and has requested privacy during this time. In lieu of flowers, they’ve asked that those wishing to honor her legacy consider donations to Betty Reid Soskin Middle School and to a forthcoming film documenting her remarkable life.

Has any president been as petty and childish as *T?! I can’t believe this is actually on the wall under Obama’s White House portrait.
FFS! Trump put this under Obama’s picture at the White House.

Another excellent example of Trump behaving totally normal and sane.
Trump: “I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it."

China was the largest export market for American farmers in 2024. They bought 27 metric tons of soybeans last year. They stopped buying in 2025 when Trump started his trade war. These are simple, obvious, basic facts. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Leavitt: "President Trump convinced President Xi to continue purchasing again American soybeans, which is something China wasn't doing under the last administration because they had no respect for President Biden or the country at the time."

If you were looking to find easy scam targets it makes sense that you’d run an Elon supporter bot. Anyone still supporting that murderous fraud is ripe for the plucking.

A 17-year-old high school senior from McMinnville, OR was detained by ICE during his lunch break — even after telling officers he was a citizen. An agent shattered his window and said, “I don’t care.”
This should outrage every all of us.
