For the first time in 25 years, Major League Baseball has a repeat champion, and of course it’s California’s own Dodgers.

Congratulations!

Paxlovid from Pfizer costs $15 to make and now retails for $1500.

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

Today, SNAP benefits will freeze for the 41.7 million Americans who rely on them, despite the fact that there are emergency funds available to cover them.

This regime would rather send a $20B bailout to Argentina than feed hungry Americans.

TUCKER: "Not to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like we're about embark on another regime change war — like next week. There is a U.S. naval armada steaming toward Venezuela. Not too many people seem to be talking about it.”

JD Vance: “We have let in too many immigrants.”

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Mike Johnson allowing Jeffrey Epstein to keep Arizona’s 7th congressional district without representation for now nearly 8 months.

700,000 more Epstein victims thanks to enabler Mike Johnson, who has weaponized the files against them.

Zohran Mamdani is the bright future of the Democratic Party — brimming with excellent ideas about what working families need.

I was delighted to chat with him earlier today.

If you're a New Yorker, don't forget to cast your vote for him by Tuesday, Nov. 4.

For every one meal a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9. Food banks cannot bridge the gap if SNAP benefits aren’t available.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Why would Bill Gates all of a sudden say climate change isn’t bad?

Because he’s in the Epstein files.

If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.
