I think Americans would rather have affordable groceries and health care.

Rubio announcing that UFC cage fighting is to be the great diplomatic tool the USA can export to the world has to be the dumbest asinine thing I have heard.

So some Atty. from SDNY is the new “highly qualified” DNI nominee instead of Pulte? Bullshit , this clown is from Intel community and likely another lackey. Hold firm and do not pass FISA until the Orange Turd gets someone QUALIFIED!

The Department of Homeland Security has awarded more than $16.3 billion in contracts in the past six months — compared with $2.1 billion from 2016 to 2024. Most of it has gone to two firms that have ties to the White House and the Republican Party. wapo.st/4o97OPD

Republicans have handed Trump $125 million for his next vanity project that will accomplish absolutely nothing. thedailybeast.com/trump-wins…

What is extremely disturbing is that not one reporter in that room had the guts to tell Trump that the Reflective Pool is simply a pool of water and isn't comparable to a building's height. It's the most insane nonsense he drummed up AND HE PUT IT ON A BOARD to show everyone how DUMB he is. The world looks on at the @POTUS demeaning himself in public like a clown. Sad.

Why does California take so long to count ballots? In short, the state’s leaders have prioritized expanding last minute options to vote by mail over a quick count.

Hey folks, I don’t mean to brag but I just bought an extra-long garden hose. My hose is now bigger than the Statue of Liberty, Christ the Redeemer and the Lincoln Memorial.

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

"At the moment, the United States is negotiating with a regime that President Trump claimed we had already changed, to open a strait that was supposed to be open last month, and to end a nuclear program that we said we had obliterated." So no, things are not going well: nytimes.com/2026/05/28/opini…

MAGA HEADS ARE GOING TO EXPLODE 🤯 🚨 A new Cato study found immigrants reduced US deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994. Not increased. Reduced. Even undocumented immigrants were estimated to have reduced deficits by at least $1.7 trillion. The very people Republicans keep villainizing are working, paying taxes, and helping keep the economy afloat while billionaires and corporations dodge taxes with loopholes their lobbyists wrote themselves.

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

If you honestly believe that any of the violent 1,600 rioters that stormed the Capitol and beat cops with flagpoles and fire extinguishers on January 6th deserves ONE CENT of our hard-earned tax dollars, you are a DISGRACE and an asshole.

The same Supreme Court that told you that ICE can consider race as a factor to stop an individual and question their immigration status told you that lawmakers can't consider race when drawing congressional maps.
