I already know one story I'm going to repeat far too often is the price of gas. In college, I remember withdrawing $10 at an ATM to get $0.99 per gallon gas. My gripe was never the gas. It was finding ATMs that gave less than $20 bills. I cannot think of a more useless complaint in 2026.

Trump says he won't sign any bills until SAVE America Act passes The legislation faces an uphill battle in the Senate.

I was Today Years Old when I found this out: "Bills automatically become law if the president does not sign them within 10 days of their passing."

I cannot tell if it happens all the time and I didn't know it or if presidents don't usually throw tantrums like this.

1. I worked in three newsrooms.
2. Unless you checked my follows, why would you assume who I'm following?
3. I am speaking about journalists who I can call, email and/or text now, not just "follow."
4. My point was BECAUSE I know solid journalists, interviews like this makes journalism look bad.

Every SINGLE time I want to defend the media and point out how there are "good journalists out there," I see something like this and just (temporarily) give up.

And Jake Tapper…🙄🙄🙄

They always push that false equivalency! They all need to stop using the military in that way, I hate that 🐂💩! You can absolutely support the military and NOT support them being used like mercenaries in a video game or played like toy soldiers!

It is if that person had a primary and didn't vote at all.

You did not forget. You just didn't care. I hate it when nonvoters ALWAYS have time to tell people what politicians SHOULD run. If you remembered to "flee the country," you remembered election season. Requesting an absentee ballot is often as easy as typing away on Bluesky. You CHOSE not to vote.

Why would we need to use ICE as a "literal gun" when ICE is using ACTUAL guns to kill people? If you think the way ICE is behaving under Trump would be the same under Harris, I don't know what to say after this. That idea is just plain dumb. R.I.P. Alex Pretti, Nicole Good and Ruben Ray Martinez.

Actually, now that I think about it, minus them running GooGoo ragged, I like her more than #MaryMary. I'd act EXACTLY like Goo about somebody cornering someone I'm dating w/o me being around UNLESS HE WAS MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE. These are the same two who got mad that he stood up to Mitch.

I still think Tina is way more entertaining, funnier and a lil edgier than Erica. I liked her more on #MaryMary the first time and still do ... and this makes it EXTREMELY depressing to know that she voted for Trump. I cannot make sense of that. This blind-sided me almost as much as Nelly.

started watching #MaryMary and all my same opinions came flooding back to me. I still to this day don't understand how Tina and Erica had a problem with Justin sticking up for GooGoo against Mitch constantly badgering her, knowing full well they would want Teddy and Warren to stand up for them.

Rev. Wright HAD TIME to call out the racist meme from Trump depicting the Obamas as apes. I know Trump's antics aren't funny, but the way Wright describes Trump in these "5 Minutes" always makes me chuckle. He almost passed out from saying "grown."

Federal judge rules Trump administration's actions to dismantle Voice of America are illegal A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration's actions to dismantle the Voice of America over the past year are illegal. U.S. District Court Judge Royce C.

Federal judge ruled Saturday that Kari Lake, Trump’s choice to lead the U.S. Agency for Global Media, did not have legal authority to take the actions she’s done to largely dismantle the Voice of America. The decision’s effect on VOA operations was not immediately clear.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

At the largest ICE detention facility in the U.S., staff reportedly placed bets on which detainee would die by suicide next.

Human suffering has become a game.

This is what happens when people in custody are stripped of dignity and oversight disappears.

She got her House seat WITHOUT people knowing her nationwide for standing up to the Trump admin. It wasn't "too bad" for her to take into consideration both of these groups, considering she ALSO is Black and ALSO proud of what she's done as a House rep.

Black people and people who love watching her in "the Congress" are voters too. Black people in South Carolina are a SIGNIFICANT reason that Biden advanced in 2020, in addition to what Georgia and Pennsylvania did on Election Day. It's not "too bad" to acknowledge Black voters.

This is an insane take she started late while still working as a congresswoman in important committees meanwhile the white dude missed hundreds of votes lied about it and campaigned full time and only barely beat her with the help of a Colbert media scale tip in his favor & voter suppression

Not one single solitary line about how much confusion happened during this senatorial campaign in Crockett's county and people not realizing both ballots weren't at each location.

Not one single line in this @texastribune.org article brings up a rule change for primary voting in two Texas counties. The county with the greatest number of affected voters includes Dallas and is the home base for Rep. Jasmine Crockett. www.wral.com/news/ap/5ffa...
