"I’m tired of seeing Steve Bannon in my newsfeed. Every three months, he utters something with zombie gravitas, and too many otherwise reasonable people take him seriously, so anxiety-riddled as they are from the past ten years of political trauma."
Please Stop Listening to Steve Bannon
He isn't worth the trouble.

When history is written, Speaker Nancy Pelosi will stand as a fearless defender of democracy who faced down insurrectionists and delivered for the people. She never blinked.

BREAKING: Trump boycotts the UN Climate Conference.

BREAKING: In an insane moment, Trump blatantly lies that affordability is not an issue, claims prices are "down substantially" while they are up everywhere.

Americans can see for themselves, the "Golden Ballroom POTUS" is out of touch.

This moment says everything about why Zohran Mamdani won.

A journalist in a wheelchair asked about accessibility and Mamdani didn’t talk down to him, didn’t deflect, didn’t politicize it. He listened.

He’s the kind of leader who respects everyone, every faith, every class, every flag.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Elon Musk is deliberately using his platform to poison our politics and divide our country.

It's time for the government to wake up to the threat he poses to our democracy.

CNN: "A brand new report is out showing layoff announcements hit their highest level for October in over 20 years. It's painting a picture of a job market that is really hurting. US-based employers announced 150,074 job cuts in October, more than any October since 2003."

I returned to the #healthinsurance portal. Gave our couple a 16 F child and ran it. Compared 1 gold 1 slv, 2 bronz plans. No kidding, #monthly plans go from $1425.75 to $2294.39, with a $18k to $3k deduct. If only 3 doc and some meds, the plans do nothing? $27.5K for poor insurance? #nokings

The Supreme Court has taken up the legality of President Trump’s sweeping tariff powers, and economist Justin Wolfers explains why this fight isn’t just about trade—it’s about truth, trust, and who really pays. Tariffs, he argues, are simply taxes by another name.

The dumbest possible timeline.
Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.
