When you desperately want to starve Americans:

Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says ‘yes sir’ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what he’s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

China's leader just played Trump like a chump—again President Donald Trump may have claimed victory in his ongoing trade tantrum with China on Thursday, but look past the bravado and it’s clear that Chinese Premier Xi Jinping just played the ...

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

If you're thinking of starting a war, like, picking at random, Trump decides to attack Venezuela, be aware that drones make interior infrastructure vulnerable. I'd rather not learn this the way Russia is.

GOOD NEWS: A judge ruled the administration is required by law to use emergency funding to provide food assistance to families in need.

Trump has no excuse to withhold food assistance. If the admin does not issue SNAP, it is purely a cruel political decision, not a legal one.

Russian teen arrested for singing banned song calling for Putin to be overthrown A large crowd of Russians sang a banned song in St Petersburg's Kazanskaya Square which calls for Vladimir Putin to be overthrown.
