Yes, JD. Letβs ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Letβs ask everyone running for office.

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:
β’admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
β’abolish ICE
β’grant citizenship to any immigrant
β’disband the 5th Circuit
β’expand the Supreme Court
Seriously: Why the hell not?

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because itβs angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

I'm not enjoying the reboot of the "Unprovoked War in the Middle East" reality TV show.
It's just as pointless, but the actors are even stupider. And, frankly, I didn't think that would be possible.

House passes rescission package to claw back $9.4 billion in funding for foreign aid, NPR, PBS
The House is expected to vote Thursday on White House's rescission package to claw back funding for NPR, PBS, foreign aid.
All this chaos is being used to distract you from another bill passed by the House of Representatives. It cuts HIV assistance/research and PBS. It will be moving to the senate. They don't want you to notice this. www.cbsnews.com/news/house-v...

The legislation's official name is "One Big Beautiful Bill". It will add trillions to the national debt, give a tax break to the wealthy, and kick millions off Medicaid. The GOP is so proud of it that the House Rules Committee is holding its hearings at 1 a.m. tonight so nobody will observe them.
