I’m not so sure this is going to work out well for Hegseth.

These Trump fact checks are getting kind of long. Can we shorten things up on those columns and just tell us which parts are true? I feel like that would save a lot of time.

You know after Cuomo loses Trump is going to deny he endorsed him right?

That app that Mike Johnson has that alerts him if his kid goes on a porn site - can we get one that lets him know when Trump rolls out a new policy or edict?

Good to know that Fox segments determine our foreign policy as well as domestic, and provide most of the cabinet appointees.

Habba is threatening to prosecute people in NJ for voter fraud in tomorrow’s election if she thinks they cheated.

Is Trump going to threaten to withhold federal funds before elections from every state and city that elects a Democrat or just NYC? Seems like that is buying votes with taxpayer money.

Pffffft

This is the one where DHS claim she rammed them, but they rammed her.

The corrupt billionaires continue to rally around Cuomo. #zohranfornyc

This is brilliant

"Photos from Houston's Bush Intercontinental airport show TSA lines at Terminal E extending outside the building and down the sidewalk Sunday night.

At 6:15PM, new photos showed the same long lines hours later..."

Opinion | Trump’s ‘Great Gatsby’ Party Did Not Accept SNAP

I wrote about Trump’s Gatsby party and SNAP

Faith leaders — as well as faith-based food banks — have long argued they absolutely cannot independently handle the raw number of people currently served by government food assistance programs.

They argued it again last week in Congress, calling the idea a "lie". religionnews.com/2025/10/30/f...

Saying you're better looking than a man half your age is so weak. Meanwhile, said man just laughs and says he has better things to do. That's strength. I don't know why this is a minority opinion but these days, it is.

The courts have ordered the administration to use its contingency fund for SNAP—and have made clear it can use its transfer authorities to fully fund SNAP.

It is not enough to do the bare minimum—they should do everything they can to ensure Americans put food on the table.

is that good.

Mike Johnson isn't stupid. He knows he can't defend any of the corruption and cruelty he's enabling. So he cosplays as an ignoramus.

Dems want FCC probe of "60 Minutes" omission of Trump's Binance pardon exchange A note said the extended version of the interview had been "condensed for clarity."

An exchange from Trump's "60 Minutes" interview about his family's crypto empire was not included in the extended version shared online.

Trump sued and settled with the network over the program's editing of a 2024 Kamala Harris interview.

Trump denies grocery prices are up and then says people will be fine because "their 401ks are up." (Nearly half of Americans have no retirement savings)

Donald Trump Is a Commie Bernie’s democratic socialism is still compatible with liberal democracy. Trump’s national socialism is not. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

“It’s when you step back and take in the full list, with all of the extortionate details, that it becomes clear that Trump is moving toward something like China’s command economy.”

Shutdown threatens to delay home heating aid for millions of low-income families With temperatures beginning to drop in areas across the U.S., some states are warning that funding for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program is being delayed because of the federal government ...

Millions of low-income families are at risk of losing heating aid this winter. The shutdown has frozen funding for LIHEAP, which helps nearly 6 million households pay their energy bills — on top of suspended SNAP benefits and rising fuel costs.
