The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

Parnas: A lot of people are saying this idea that, well, Graham Platner hasnโ€™t won statewide, and Janet Mills has.

Platner: We have a number of excellent senators who had never run for office or won a statewide race before.

Thatโ€™s an argument the establishment makes to protect itself

For Portland OR and surrounding areas not having access to Jimmy Kimmel tonight .. I called Sinclairโ€™s KATU/ News Tipline and spoke to an actual person. Asked if their suppression of free speech wasn't the biggest news story of the night. I'm sure they'd love to hear from more of us. 503.231.4264

Is anyone surprised that the first President ever too scared to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner is trying to cancel comedians?

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.

Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year.

Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?

The man who just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because their numbers supposedly werenโ€™t accurate just claimed that he lowered drug prices in America by 1500%.

This trivial man is responsible for taking food and medicine from poor people. Many died. Heโ€™s such a foolish, awful, and unhelpful person.

Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who donโ€™t stand up, just remember we will never forget.

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans.

Instead, weโ€™re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.
