Highly recommend reading the replies on this genius's take on flying. Thanks everybody for this moment of pure hilarity in our reality TV hell!

Stop it in the Senate, ma'am. That's a ridiculous waste of money. Give it back to cancer research or USAID. Also, I understood that the name change has to be approved by Congress?

Trump's Pentagon name change could cost up to $2 billion Officially changing the Department of Defense to the Department of War can only be done by Congress and would require updating thousands of signs, rewriting digital code and creating new letterheads,...

This β€œtough guy” rebrand is about to cost taxpayers $2 billion.

But somehow, cancer research is what they call wasteful spending. Absurd.

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his β€œtop priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧡

Look at putting it all across the federal government...including Congress. Insider trading is just one aspect of possible corruption. The money in U.S. politics is obscene!

If our tax dollars paid for that dinner for all of those millionaires/billionaires, that is so wrong and infuriating.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I still remember how bad a state every single one of these dogs were in when I found them in various bad situations in Thailand.

This was a surprise from the @happydoggo.com team. Talk about emotional just 3 hours before the Marathon!

My family have listened to the Mass at the Chicago Cathedral & Cardinal Blase Cupich for years now, since the pandemic. He is an excellent church leader & I'm proud that he's leading on this. Will definitely be a part of You Are Not Alone & I'm not letting these false Christians diminish my faith.

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

I hear you. It should be clear and all totaled. If their worth is above a certain amount, their pay from taxpayers should be less. After all, that’s what they do to people receiving federal assistance like SSI. If they really want to serve, it should be based on service, not money & incentives.

Let’s see what happens now. I don’t think Schumer will get away with this and someone will have to take his place.

He seems to be fighting as hard as he can with the power he has. At least he’s been fighting. And he was pissed that these 8 caved. My opinion is he the qualities of a good leader.

We need a clearer understanding of what exactly these Reps & Dems are paid, during their terms and after they are voted out/β€œretire.” Including perks. This needs to be vastly renegotiated by voters. They are getting too much $/perks. They’re out of touch w/most Americans. Maybe that’s the problem?

We cannot afford a divided and weak opposition party when an authoritarian is invading our cities, terrorizing our communities, and corruptly self-enriching at the expense of the rest of us.

We want to celebrate a Democratic Party that fights back. But after this latest surrender, the next step is primaries and new leadership. We get the party we demand, and we intend to demand one that fights.

Democratic Reps & Senators should find out where they’re holding these propaganda pressers, crash them & shout out β€œlet’s settle this here and now” or β€œif you guys don’t want to run the gov’t, we will!” Or at least heckle them loudly while they stand there and lie on camera. Somebody make a move.
