Trump is obsessed with crime, both real and fictitious, and he wants us to get used to seeing the military on the streets in order to lay the groundwork to not accept the 2026 Congressional election results and use the Insurrection Act to ignore the wishes of the voters.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

What Iโ€™ve learned over my many years of struggles is most people, unless they have faced real challenges themselves, have no idea how to support someone going through a challenging time. This relates to our national problems in that people are generally clueless what to do when things go wrong.

Six Ways the COP30 Climate Summit Can Succeed or Fail When Brazil was named host of the COP30 climate summit two years ago, it was seen as the perfect celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, where nations pledged to keep climate change within safe limits.

Nearly 200 countries are set to gather at the gates of the Amazon rainforest for a new round of UN-sponsored climate talks.

Here are six ways the COP30 summit can succeed or fail

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Thereโ€™s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, thereโ€™d be investigations & oversight into this.

'Carving my own lane': MTG admits insurance premiums will 'double' if GOP doesn't act Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Rโ€‘Ga.) warned Monday that if Republicans in Congress don't act to extend certain Affordable Care Act (โ€œObamacareโ€) tax credits, health insurance premiums are poised to "double" next year. In a post on social media platform X, Greene wrote: โ€œ[W]hen the tax credits expire this year my own adult childrenโ€™s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the ... families and hardโ€‘working people in my district.โ€ She added that no Republican leadership has offered a plan to prevent the soaring costs. "No Iโ€™m not towing the party line on this, or playing loyalty games. Iโ€™m a Republican and wonโ€™t vote for illegals to have any tax payer funded healthcare or benefits," she added. Greeneโ€™s statement comes in the midst of ongoing Republican infighting over how to address the looming expiration of ACA premium tax credits. Under current law, these subsidies help lower the monthly cost of health insurance for many Americans. Without congressional intervention, insurers and analysts warn that premiums could rise sharply for many, especially in lowerโ€‘income and rural areas. In her post, Greene distanced herself from the original enactment of the ACA, writing: โ€œI was not in Congress when all this Obamacare, โ€˜Affordable Care Actโ€™ bullsโ€”โ€” started. I got here in 2021.โ€ She sharply criticized the lawโ€™s effects, saying it made health insurance โ€œunaffordableโ€ for her family and that she is โ€œnot a fan.โ€ She stressed her belief that if the tax credits vanish, insurance costs will โ€œDOUBLE.โ€ Greene also called health and all insurance โ€œa scam,โ€ saying no Republican leaders had engaged with rankโ€‘andโ€‘file members on solutions, and reiterating her staunch opposition to taxpayerโ€‘funded benefits for undocumented immigrants. The Georgia Republican also criticized federal spending abroad, pointing to $30 billion sent to Israel in 2024 and large sums to Ukraine, and claimed Congress neglects Americansโ€™ struggles while prioritizing foreign aid. Earlier on Monday, Greene posted a related statement on X, saying, "Hi this is your daily reminder that insurance has become UNAFFORDABLE for most Americans. Health, Auto, and Home. I wish my party would make this a priority." ACA premium tax credits (subsidies to reduce costs of marketplace plans) are set to expire or be modified soon, and Republicans are divided on whether to extend them.

It seems clearโ€”I think to everyone, nowโ€”that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm' Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."

โ€œWe believe itโ€™s our duty to sound the alarm about this administrationโ€™s degradation of DoJโ€™s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it,โ€ according to an open letter signed by 282 former officials.

It will take years to rebuild our Justice Dept.
