You know why the Epstein list is being delayed besides the fact that the government is shutdown? Johnson is trying to pressure one of the 4 republicans who signed the discharge petition to FLIP. Stay strong and donโ€™t cave to Johnson

If the Supreme Court decides to let the president impose more tariffs, will it tank the economy further? Will it put us into a recession? Head of the IMF says to โ€œbuckle upโ€.

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest โ€“ using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trumpโ€™s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest โ€” but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Mike Johnson rejects bill for US military pay as shutdown continues Johnson said the House has already acted by passing a stopgap spending bill that would have kept the government funded through Nov. 21.

Maybe we should be asking why pay to our military is being rejected during the shutdown?

The medicine Nobel Prize goes to 3 scientists for work on peripheral immune tolerance Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi were honored for research into how the body helps the immune system avoid attacking your own tissues instead of foreign invaders.

Can you imagine going hiking in the Rocky Mountains with no cell service, only to return and learn youโ€™ve won the Nobel Prize in medicine?

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whateverโ€™s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Trump approval rating is -5.8% on immigration, -15.9% on the economy -16.6% on trade and -32.3% on inflation. So I guess he can name call even faux news and Pete Doocy, but soon heโ€™ll have to take responsibility for a poor economy. Back to his popularity numbers we see numbers around 44%. Ouch!

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Apple has removed an ICE tracking app that allows users to report ICE activity nearby from its App Store.

The removal came after a direct demand from Trumpโ€™s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

By law (Reagan) all people can be treated at ERs. But for undocumented people that is less than .1% of federal funding. They canโ€™t enroll in Medicare or the ACA. In fact they contribute billions in FICA taxes that help fund SS and Medicare. And they never benefit from their contributions.

"This guy wants to do bad things to the country overall. You can't believe what he says, you can't believe his promises. He's dangerous and he's nuts. And that transcends all of these individual issues."

Not a bad reason to shut it down.
