Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Donald Trump is building a $300 million luxury ballroom and sending $40 BILLION to Argentina.

But when the cost of groceries, health care, utilities — just about everything — is skyrocketing, America's seniors only get another $56 a month.

That's not enough in Trump's economy.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

Bishop William Barber pledges lawsuit against new NC congressional map The NC General Assembly approved the new Congressional map this week. It shifts the state's 1st Congressional District from a swing district to one where a Republican can more easily win.

A leading NC civil rights voice has made his stance on the state's new U.S. Congress districts clear.

"This effort is racist. It's an attack on Black Belt counties."

- Bishop William Barber, who spent decades preaching at Goldsboro's Greenleaf Christian Church

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

Without permission, without funding from #Congress, using PRIVATE MONEY (which will come with strings attached), the #president is literally demolishing a section of #thewhitehouse, The People’s’ House.

Please hear this: nonviolent resistance is powerfully subversive. The regime is DESPERATE for us to either
1. commit violence, or
2. cower and obey.
Either will suit their ends. So we give them neither. We subvert their paradigm and engage in nonviolent, disruptive resistance strategies.

NC might redraw Congressional districts like other states, GOP Senate leader says N.C. Senate leader Phil Berger said Thursday that the legislature might redraw the state's Congressional districts in response to partisan gerrymandering efforts in other states.

I’m sorry, but if guns don’t kill people, then neither do DEI or wokeness.

Her name was Melissa Hortman. Her husband was Mark Hortman. Their dog was named Gilbert. Their assassination left two children without their parents and her state without a beloved former Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

As the MSM remembers Charlie Kirk and speaks out against his horrific assassination, let’s recall the Minnesota Congresswoman who was assassinated on June 14th 2025 along with her husband and their dog.
Do you even remember her name?!

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.

We should all cancel our Facebook and Instagram accounts. Meta needs to learn to be better.

N.C. Democrats blast Republicans' lack of progress on a new state budget The General Assembly has passed a pair of bills making minor adjustments to last year's state budget, but a full spending package remains out of reach.

The “fiscally sound” Republican-dominated General Assemby of #NorthCarolina has yet again failed to pass a budget, months after the fiscal year began.

This is no way to conduct the business of the state.

Departments and agencies all across the state are paralyzed.
