Doesn't Congress have to approve the expenditure on this abomination? Or was it something Republicans sneaked into the Big Sh!tty Bill?

The secret to Baltimore's extraordinary year This April, Baltimore saw five homicides.

1. We interrupt this programming for some LEGITIMATELY GOOD NEWS

Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows

How did the city do it?

Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue

"We don't accept obvious bullshit from our political leaders."

Uh...some of you do. Every single day. But it's good to see that you finally decided not to accept this steaming pile.

Left vs Right:

The left would provide Medicaid to a 1M people who need it, even if that meant there were 1K fraudsters cheating the system.

The right would take away Medicaid from 1K fraudsters cheating the system, even if that meant taking it away from 1M people who need it.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

If true, I am at a total loss of words, what an absolute disgrace

Trump in Iowa says Iran called him after the B-2 strike to ask him if it could fire missiles at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. “Go ahead,” Trump says he told Iran. All 14 Iranian missiles successfully intercepted by U.S. Patriot PAC-3s.

Also, since (I'm guessing) most seniors take the Standard Deduction rather than itemizing, this deduction will not have any effect at all.

Ok, that makes sense. I was thinking a tax credit rather than a deduction from AGI.

Isn't it a deduction that *in effect* eliminates the tax for some seniors?

I truly hope this puts a definitive end to the perpetual insistence by Democrats that they can compromise with Republicans. You can't. These people are extreme, depraved, and shameless. They just stripped healthcare from 17 million people to give themselves a tax cut.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.

Whoa! Alligator Alcatraz is going to be complete by Tuesday and open for operation on Wednesday.

Am I the only one wondering how Ron DeSantis got this together so fast?

Floridians, make sure you remember this the next time a hurricane hits and you can’t get disaster relief in your state.

Heck, all we have to do is write a "Jesus is Good" bill that includes things like feeding, clothing, and providing shelter for the poor, and dare the GOP to vote against "Jesus is Good."

It won't be long before AI users are so brain dead that they will be asking AI to generate prompts for them to input into AI. Between their drooling sessions, that is.

Outrage as Trump compares Iran strikes to Japan atomic bombing Trump's reference to Hiroshima and Nagasaki is "unacceptable", survivors of the WW2 attacks say.

Other than a bomb being dropped from an aircraft, there’s absolutely nothing, zero, zilch, that compares the Iran strike with the nuclear bombing of Japan.

You might find this picture morbid or eerie- odd in its own way, with unsettling details. Why is there a body on a door? Why is there no casket? And why is this happening in a lawn? It's a short story - one that makes the distant, abstract feeling of war suddenly tangible:

Holy Crap. Just straight up looting at this point. Or like was already looting. But just bringing in a semi to haul out the loot faster.

Hey everyone, just a reminder:

A little more than a week ago, a Republican terrorist killed two people and injured two more in an effort to kill enough democrats to capture the Minnesota Legislature

Bombing Iran is a great way to distract from how your administration is bombing elsewhere.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this
