🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Missouri State Senator Nick Schroer is one of the most self-dealing and cold-hearted lawmakers in Missouri. His bill would make it legal to discriminate against folks needing assistance with housing. When I say cruelty is the point, this is what I mean. missouriindependent.com/2025/04/23/b...

There are no words for the kind of evil that appeared on the Fourth of July in Highland Park. No courtroom could ever replace the lives lost, but it can and should deliver justice. Today's sentencing will allow survivors and the loved ones of those impacted to continue to heal.

When student loan borrowers are in default, how does the Trump regime respond? By garnishing their wages. When billionaires see their wealth hit record highs, how does the Trump regime respond? By extending their tax cuts. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Trump "considering" a $5,000 ‘baby bonus’ to encourage "births". Meanwhile it costs on average $10,000 to $18,000 to give birth and baby expenses range from $1,100 to $2,500 monthly. Not including rent, food, insurance, and other necessities. This 'bonus' is a joke.

McMahon: "The plan is very simple. We have announced that beginning May 5, you must start to repay your loan. This is not to in any way to try to cause hardship. There are several different payment plans ... but they need to get on it. Because there isn't going to be any loan forgiveness program."

As bad as Tesla’s earnings report was, it includes hundreds of millions of dollars of regulated rebates. Without those, the company would have reported a LOSS. Remember that next time Elon rails against government regulations.
