Why did China stop buying US soybeans, Kevin?

First, they came for Americans' Medicaid. Now, Trump is coming after seniors’ Social Security. The Trump administration needs to stop trying to raise costs on families and instead, protect their hard-earned benefits.

It’s unacceptable that for every 1 open child care slot, 3 children need that same spot in many parts of our state. The truth is: our child care system is totally broken. I’m fighting to fix it.

ICE mistakenly detains deputy US marshal in Tucson, feds say Officials confirmed ICE agents briefly took a deputy U.S. marshal into custody by mistake in Tucson.

ICE arrested a US Marshal!! Talk about PROFILING the wrong person! www.azfamily.com/2025/06/07/i...

I'm not saying the current Iranian regime is innocent or pleasant (thanks for that USA) but I will not stay silent while the lies of "nuclear weapons" are used in the way "weapons of mass destruction" were used when I was a teen.
Netanyhu is a #WarCriminal and the UK gov must not follow the USA

"No Tax on Tips" isn't really about tipped employees. SCOTUS decided in Snyder v. US that a bribe isn't a "bribe" if you get a prize AFTER you do the thing, then its considered a "tip". This bill makes all the money, vehicles, property, and vacations given to Congress and SCOTUS as bribes tax-free.

I.C.E. agents are lazy.
They do not arrest criminals and "bad guys".
They arrest the lowest fruit on the branch,... quiet loyal law-abiding workers who are trying to make it by.
I.C.E. agents are lazy.

Yet right now, detainees in ICE custody are facing conditions that are simply unacceptable in any country that claims to uphold human rights, let alone one that prides itself on freedom and the rule of law.

Next, Iran attacks US forces in Middle East. US and ISR bomb some more. Iran escalates, US boots on ground. Suddenly, we all forget about the Big Ugly Bill, Epstein files, ICE bounty hunters, assassinated congress persons.

Following the President’s action in Iran, California’s State Threat Assessment Center is actively monitoring for any potential impacts in California.
