Does @cnn realize that in 2016, U.S. voters wanted to #OpenTheDebates to all ballot-qualified candidates by a margin of 76% to 17%?
And that was before US “democracy” jumped the shark!

CNN announces June 27 Presidential Debate and rules for candidates to qualify:
1. “A candidate’s name must appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency prior to [June 20].”
2. Candidates must “receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.”
Is CNN leaving the door open for RFK Jr. to qualify and participate?

Trump started the dumbest most pointless war ever. And Iran WON.
Thanks for the inflation & the higher gas prices.

BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to pay $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly to Iran as part of the deal Pakistan announced, alongside the release of $24 billion in frozen funds with $12 billion released before negotiations even start, per Mehr News.
This directly contradicts Trump's & Vance's claim that no funds will be transferred to Iran at all.
If Trump denies this is true, there never was a deal. If Trump confirms, the US has fully capitulated to Iran's demands.

🏠 North Carolina’s housing crisis isn’t just about rising home prices—it’s also about wages.
• NC’s minimum wage remains $7.25/hour while housing costs continue to climb.
• Many working families are spending more of their income on rent and mortgages.
• Fast-growing areas like Raleigh and Charlotte are becoming increasingly unaffordable for essential workers.
• Affordable housing and livable wages must be part of the same conversation.
• When wages don’t keep pace with housing costs, economic opportunity becomes harder to reach.

Is it just me, or does the spectacle of people fighting in a cage on the White House lawn strike you as something surreal—and very creepy? Doesn't turning the seat of government into an arena for gladiator entertainment feels like a scene from a dystopian movie?
