Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

Mockler: I’m 23 years old, and Gen Zers have spent all of our formative years living in a political system that’s purely dysfunctional. People in my generation see the president posting memes online rather than actually negotiating with the other side.

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.

Dr Oz says healthcare premiums will only increase $13 and it’s no big deal

Premiums will increase much more than that

It’s interesting that $13 is “no big deal” when people are screaming that their tax dollars shouldn’t go towards SNAP

You know how much the average taxpayer pays for SNAP? $36.

I found it easier to understand Speake Mike Johnson once I realized he's not just a "flawed Christian."

He is the new Roy Cohn, another duplicitous closet case always eager to advance the agendas of genuinely awful people.

A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls.

But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

A '24/7 corruption machine': Anger as Trump family acquires a new racket President Donald Trump’s family has long generated controversy and criticism for running a cryptocurrency business during his second term in office, and now they’re adding an online betting business to their portfolio. The Financial Times on Tuesday reported that the president’s Truth Social platform is getting into the prediction market business to allow bettors to place wagers on the outcomes of elections, sports games, and other events. The new “Truth Predict” betting market platform will be a partnership between the Trump Media and Technology Group and Crypto.com, a cryoptocurrency trading platform that in the past has donated millions to Trump causes. According to the Financial Times, the Trump family in recent months has become more intertwined with the online betting industry, as Donald Trump Jr. has taken on “advisory roles at the two industry-leading prediction market companies, Kalshi and Polymarket.” Additionally, Trump Jr.'s venture capital firm has invested in Polymarket, which Wired reports has not operated in the US since 2022 when it reached an agreement with the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission to settle allegations that it operated an unregistered derivatives trading market. Mike Masnick, a journalist at Techdirt, pointed out the glaring conflict of interest posed by the most powerful person in the world owning his own prediction market platform. “So the company the president currently owns is teaming up with a cryptocurrency company to create a prediction market, which will take bets... on things the president himself has quite a lot of control over?” he wrote in a post on Bluesky. “Gosh, I’m sure nothing bad will happen.” The Trump family’s entrance into the online betting market came on the same day that Reuters published an extensive report showing how the Trump family has used its cryptocurrency business to generate a massive increase in wealth in a matter of mere months. According to Reuters’ calculations, “the Trump Organization’s income soared 17-fold to $864 million from $51 million a year earlier,” with more than 90% of this income coming from the Trump-backed cryptocurrency venture. Reuters also reported that the $800 million is just the actual income the Trump Organization has taken in so far, and that it has billions more in unrealized gains from the crypto venture. Washington University law professor Kathleen Clark, who specializes in teaching government ethics, told Reuters it was obvious that investors in the Trump crypto venture were hoping to get some kind of favor from the government in exchange. “These people are not pouring money into coffers of the Trump family business because of the brothers’ acumen,” she said. “They are doing it because they want freedom from legal constraints and impunity that only the president can deliver.” Trump last week sparked corruption accusations when he pardoned cryptocurrency magnate Changpeng Zhao, whose company Binance has been a major booster to the Trump family’s crypto business. “Binance has been one of the main drivers of the growth of World Liberty’s dollar-pegged cryptocurrency, called USD1,”The Wall Street Journal reported at the time. “It delivered World Liberty’s first big break this spring when it accepted a $2 billion investment from an outside investor paid in USD1. Binance has also incentivized trading in USD1 across platforms it controls.” House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chair James Comer (R-Tenn.), who for years investigated former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, for his foreign business dealings, was asked by CNN host Jake Tapper if he would investigate the Trump family’s crypto venture. Comer indicated that he was fine with the Trump family’s potentially corrupt money-making schemes because they were being done out in the open. “We... are reading about this, we’re trying to digest it,” he said. “The difference between the way the Trump family’s operating and the Biden family, is they’re admitting they’re doing this. The president campaigned as a business guy... as long as you disclose the income and disclose the sources, I think that’s acceptable.” Critics of the president, however, said this hands-off approach to investigating the Trump family’s business dealings was unacceptable. Democratic operative David Axelrod wrote in a post on X that it is “kind of incredible that the House Oversight Committee is spending its time on Biden’s auto pen but they won’t touch how Trump has doubled his wealth in a year.” Axelrod also thought congressional investigators should be asking about “who’s buying his meme coins,” “the deals his kids are cutting all over the world,” and “the gifted jet from Qatar.” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) argued that no president in US history has engaged in this level of corruption. “Trump and his family’s crypto ventures are selling out our national security through sweetheart deals with money launderers, fraudsters, and foreign governments,” he wrote on X. “The scale of this corruption—reaping more than $800 million and pardons for business partners—is unprecedented.” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) noted on Tuesday that Binance this week promoted sales of the Trump family’s meme coin mere days after the president pardoned its founder. “The White House is a full-time, 24/7 corruption machine,” he said.

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?
