Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Pathetic.

Turns out No Kings rallies likely attracted MORE than 7 million participants. A recent YouGov poll suggests it might actually have been 3 times that (over 20 million)! Or, at least a huge percentage of Americans (8% of those surveyed) say that they participated.

Trump’s Net Approval β€œSilver Bulletin” hits -10.6% the lowest point of his 2nd term, dropping below the previous low point of -10% hit in April.

Note: Silver Bulletin is a complex weighted average of many polls. The Economist now has Trump’s net approval at -18%, also the lowest of his 2nd term.

The USA’s reputation in the world plummeted in 2025 under Donald Trump from 30th place to 48th place. Meanwhile, Canada’s reputation moved up from 4th place to 2nd, while Russia’s reputation remained dead last at 60th place.

Are we great again yet??

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
β€œFACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new β€œweapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

This is how sick the US has become.

Her name is Talia Teneyuque, a 32-year-old baker from Saginaw. Her dream was simple: use her talent to build a small home bakery called Luv’n a Jar, selling strawberry crunch cakes, candied grapes, and cheesecakes β€” β€œmade with love,” her Facebook page says.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

Was Mellon’s $130 million β€œgift” to the military really a bribe?

Let’s do the math. 2024 military salaries = $192 billion, so Mellon’s β€œgift” would cover only 6 hours of military payroll. Pretty useless.

Instead, could it have been a bribe to buy key officers in the military to do Trump’s bidding?
