We always called them daddy longlegs. I have no idea why....

So Texas Republicans have now set up a TIP LINE to rat out the Texas Democrats

So PLEASE, for the sake of the public, DO NOT FLOOD THIS NUMBER with tips on Bigfoot sightings, UFO sightings, or asking why Trump is on “the list”

Yeah, 50.8% of North Carolina voters chose the orange douche bag. Second thoughts?

The sordid origin of 'America First,' explained by a historian "They were not keen on fighting Nazis."

New in PN: The sordid origin of 'America First,' explained by a historian

“Mainstream opinion in the '30s wasn't pro-Nazi but it wasn't anti-Nazi in any meaningful way either. People would say, ‘Germany for the Germans — what’s offensive about that?’ Nationalism has a certain accepted sensibility."

Industrial pollution once ravaged the Adirondacks − decades of history captured in lake mud track their slow recovery Acid rain and metals from power plants, vehicles and industries reached remote mountain lakes for years. Evidence from those lakes today shows the success of the Clean Air Act.

Hurricane Helene Cleanup Poses a Threat to Wildlife Contractors take a scorched-earth approach to debris removal in North Carolina

Hurricane Helene was a disaster for wildlife. Its cleanup might be worse. A mismanaged federal cleanup has destroyed river habitats, ripped up trees, and crushed endangered species.

WTF?

Felon/GOP promised to usher in an American “golden age”! Instead, what USA is getting is the “gold” you see in an unflushed toilet bowl! Felon/GOP’s economy is the worst since their COVID crashed economy! Chaotic trade wars, high tariffs, higher prices for Americans, a shrinking economy, & job loss!

It’s on!

Prices are climbing, and the big question is—how much worse will it get, and when does it stop?

Trump’s tariffs are the highest in nearly 100 years. And the promise of a manufacturing boom is just a hope and a prayer when profitability is tanking.

No one’s going to invest in uncertainty.

Love JB but both Jokic and SGA have rings. Just sayin.

RFK Jr. is a recovering Heroin addict. He has admitted to a worm eating part of his brain. But, I ask you...have you ever really watched and listened to this guy attempt to communicate? I would venture a guess that he's not the only Kennedy who had a frontal lobotomy paid for by Joseph Kennedy.

Winning Is Everything When You’re Up Against Trump If the strongest candidates are “old,” hold them to one term.

Over in Maine, could Susan Collins finally feel a backlash? For all her constant “concerns,” she is a solid member of Team GOP and responsible as much as anyone for the mess we’re in.

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s

This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Here's why.

The sun delivers more energy to the Earth in one hour than all of humanity consumes in a whole year. In 2024, solar power alone accounted for over 60% of all new electricity generation in the United States.

Yet the Trump Administration is moving to defund the fastest-growing source of electricity.

Why won't anyone ask the follow up question? Trump says Epstein stole Giuffre so he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago. But that wasn't until SEVEN YEARS LATER.

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew
