I'm pretty sure this is the first time they have claimed this. If it was true, they would have said it back when DOGE was still capturing the headlines every day.

No, you didn't. If you had, you would have said something before this. This is the first time you are saying anything about it.

No, the downside is that you end up paying more than twice the interest you do with a 30 year mortgage, and you don't actually own your home until you are in your 70s.

What a world we live in. Sigh.

There should be a national "Do Not Mail" list like the do not call list. I haven't emptied my mail box in about two weeks, it was full, and every single thing was junk mail.

Also, in case you are interested, the Do Not Call registry was taken offline due to the government shutdown.

Yeah...who needs food safety inspectors? Contaminated shell fish FTW!

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

This is in neck of the woods. It's where I would be going to high school if I went to high school now instead of in the 1980s.

(My high school closed and is now an elementary.)

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

When I make my student loan payment on Friday, the amount remaining will be under five figures for the first time.

I graduated in 1989.

Think about that.

Seriously...watch Ingraham's face. It gives away what she's really thinking here.

Wonder how long it is going to take to get the gold crap off the walls, and how much it is going to cost?

Yeah...he's not winning the nom of either party.

There's a tiny bit of pushback here from Ingraham. Interesting.

Wait...is this a real, actual release from the White House?

Trump claims once again one of Kamala Harris's responses on 60 Minutes was "election defying," which still doesn't make any sense

Any extra items will go to the schools and the homeless encampment they also work with.

For those of you not from here, Carrick is a pretty low-income neighborhood. It used to be working-class, but it's declined in recent years. All the kids they work with are low-income, and most have other family issues, including addiction, mental health, and domestic violence.

A friend of mine runs a non-profit in the Carrick neighborhood of Pittsburgh. They are having a community Thanksgiving dinner next week, and they are looking for donations of hats, gloves, scarves, and socks for all ages. I'm ordering them, but if you'd like to contribute to defray the cost, DM me.

You're a better person than I am then...I left teaching all together.

You mean...like the Affordable Care Act?

Doesn't sound crazy at all. But that would mean giving up all those "donations" from insurance companies to your superPACs. See if you can get your colleagues on board with that, Tim.

But nobody knows what this mythical plan is! How are you going to vote on it?

Oh, good. That gives me tons of confidence.

He should just go back to reality TV.

We have no idea. And really, we don't much care.

No, they don't. Most of the folks I work with are veterans, and most are right-leaning. None of them can stand this guy, and the especially can't stand Hegseth

None of this happened, and yet yokels will believe it.

Reminder that today is Armistice Day, a day celebrating the end of WWI.

The other Allied countries might have something to say about this.

Yeah...this is how to honor veterans.

What an ass.
