Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it. Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate. Because we don't have a minute to wait.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm

Countries that have issued a travel advisory this year warning their citizens about visiting the United States: Canada Denmark Finland France Germany Ireland Netherlands New Zealand United Kingdom

Bank overdraft fees were capped at $5 the last few years -- saving American families over $6 BILLION. Until now. Because Republicans are lifting the Biden-era cap, letting banks charge whatever they want again. Taking $6 BILLION of your money and giving it to the big banks.

………..

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Donald Trump cannot cancel the 2026 elections. But he can make it very difficult for them to be free and fair. His executive order is aimed at doing just that. Here is my promise: We are going to sue to stop him and we will win.

In the meantime, we are no longer huddling scared in church basements for our meetings. We are showing up in large numbers and we are letting our communities know we are here and we aren’t scared. jesspiper.substack.com/p/the-rural-...

Meet Tim Nolan, Donald Trump’s campaign chairman in Kentucky.

Was Pete Hegseth drunk when he added a journalist to a group chat where Trump officials were discussing Top-secret plans for upcoming attacks on the Houthis? The Senate Armed Services Committee should immediately call him to testify at a hearing on the matter.

“President Trump’s goal is clear. He wants lawyers and law firms to capitulate and cower until there is no one left to oppose his administration in court,” Mr. Elias said. “There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf.”

He should die in prison.

WTF?!

Huh

A leading Israeli news site quotes Netanyahu telling his top general, 2 days after Oct 7, to ‘take down houses, bomb with everything you have.’ An admission of war crimes from the horse’s mouth. Let’s see how the hasbarists try spin this. www.ynet.co.il/yedioth/arti...

Musk staffers are joking about how upcoming Social Security changes will restrict access by requiring in-person visits while simultaneously shutting down offices. They are touting the cost savings from limiting access.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

More of: I can do whatever I want because I’m President. He is daring someone to challenge him. How far off can, “and I’m sticking around for a third term”, be?

BREAKING: Senate just UNANIMOUSLY restored $1.1 billion for DC local govt that was eliminated Why? Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole Now - try applying that same logic to THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

There’s no Musk Library There’s no Musk Hospital There’s no Musk University There’s no Musk Art Museum There’s no Musk Concert Hall There’s no Musk Cancer Center There’s a Musk Foundation — and it’s in trouble with the IRS because it almost never donates any funds

👋 Hey Kids!!! Get ready to either laugh uproariously or sob inconsolably, cuz it's time for either the SUNDAY FUNNIES or the TRUTHFUL TRAGEDIES, depending on your own personal point-of-view. #Enjoy 🤣 (or) #Despair 😩

#resist #nokings

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to kill the Veterans Administration So they can force veterans into private for-profit hospitals like HCA And private for-profit insurance like United Health THEY ARE LOOTING AMERICA — and giving it away to OLIGARCHS

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

Donald Trump targeted AP and legacy media did nothing. Donald Trump has now targeted two large law firms and Big Law is silent. You all read Martin Niemöller's poem “First They Came.” So, I ask you -- What are you doing?

Trump has ordered massive swathes of US national forests to be cut down. Hundreds of millions of acres of trees will be razed and endangered species will not be protected.

Bribes. They’re known as bribes.

Is this what they meant by a Red Wave?

Tariffs UP. Groceries UP. Exports DOWN. Stock market DOWN. Consumer confidence DOWN. Chance of a recession UP UP UP. After Trump left, it took Biden 4 years to rebuild the US economy. It’s taken Trump just 6 weeks to destroy it again.

Isn't this the truth..
