Well, think of the deference given to Wyoming’s Senators vs. the mayor of same-population Fresno.

incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

Graph showing percentages of ballots rejected because the voter's birth year was missing from the outer envelope or other reasons, usually the signature missing.

I can't see how this benefits the GOP, but it does nothing to ensure election integrity to require a birth year on the outer envelope of a ballot. montanafreepress.org/2025/11/07/t...

Don’t fall for GOP SNAP BS!

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

That’s good bc apparently I own it. My son bought instead of rented.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Everything you can buy for the same money is, indeed, way down!

He’s telling the truth! The amount of everything you can buy for the same money is way down.

It's the first Friday of the month, which means we've gone 2 months now without a jobs report. For Trump, this is a feature of the shutdown, not a bug, since private surveys show the job market slowing dramatically. But without official data he's able to keep lying about it.

U.S. HOUSING MARKET RECORD IMBALANCE — HOME SELLERS NOW OUTNUMBER BUYERS BY OVER 500,000, THE LARGEST GAP EVER RECORDED.

Nothing says ‘fit to lead’ like napping through your own medical endorsement. Get Grandpa Don to bed. 🤦🏽‍♂️

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

The ALT tag of every tasty image like this should include the recipe!

Stop letting Instagram and Facebook rot your brain.

Sean Dunn pictured here with some highly self-important, overly sensitive toddlers in body armor.

Probably no one believes he’ll ever come close.

Politicians come and go much faster than big corporations.

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.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

I confess I was indoctrinated by leftist ideas like “Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” More rightwing ideas would be discussed if they didn’t result in dog-eat-dog tyranny and dumbassery.

You may not agree, but I think it’s time for Dems from coast to coast to run on Medicare for all.

We do NOT need health insurance companies at all.

Period.

They serve no valuable societal purpose other than to add cost to healthcare and drive people crazy.

If we all live in our cars, our only energy cost will be gas!

It turns out O. Henry Award is given annually to short stories of exceptional merit. Not how many Oh Henry candy bars one can eat in a single sitting. I plan to get writing as soon as I recover from my excess peanut and fudge levels.

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

No, it’s not. Nor is their massive ballooning of the deficit.
