I repeat that whenever you see a man toss a woman around in front of witnesses and cameras, you can bet he’s had practice in private.

Why Obamacare Bills May Double Next Year Extensive subsidies that reduce premium costs for millions are set to expire, unless Congress extends them.

Millions of Americans with Obamacare could face steep price increases if Congress lets extra funding expire in December.

Kind of surreal that a government official was caught taking a $50,000 cash bribe and there's not even a question that he will continue serving as it nothing ever happened. Like even the most basic standards of public accountability are a joke.

UPDATE 9/22/25: On Sept. 19, Maklad said he was flown from Texas to Venezuela, where Venezuelan immigration agents weren't expecting him & hadn’t agreed to accept him. He was flown back to Texas & still has no answers about how long he’ll be detained or what will happen to him.

Dear Department of Homeland Security:

I gave this request almost a full second's worth of consideration, and my answer is an unequivocal no. I would have answered sooner, but I was laughing.

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Since this is going to be headline news tomorrow…

The highest quality research has shown Tylenol use in pregnancy is NOT at all associated with autism risk.

To suggest otherwise is to be an amateur that cherry-picks data points from decades ago.

What we discussed 2 weeks ago remains true today ⬇️

Home-Energy Tax Credits Are Expiring Soon. Act Fast. The credits aren’t right for everybody. But for some people, they can save a lot of money.

Many federal home-energy tax credits will expire at the end of the year. Some consumers could benefit from doing something now.

PSA: A "Major Terrorist Organization" (MTO) is not a thing. The Immigration and Nationality Act *delegates* power to the State Department to designate *FOREIGN* terrorist organizations (FTOs) based on certain criteria. It doesn't apply to domestic orgs.

Just a white supremacist governor of Utah vocally wishing it had been an immigrant that murdered Kirk.

That WSJ article is really shocking. That the first instinct of a group of journalists was to take something frightening that they didn't understand and assume it must be a coded message of "transgender ideology" is legitimately unhinged.

Trump's central facial nerve paresis on his right side today, at the 9/11 remembrance event at the Pentagon, was, with very high probability, indicative of a transient ischemic attack (TIA).

The Wall Street Journal is now walking back its earlier reporting that "transgender ideology" messages were found on the shooter's ammunition.

But it's too late. That story is all around the country and the world. Most who have read it will not see the update.

Thanks, WSJ.

Look, you don’t get to say something is constitutionally reasonable because of extraordinary numbers without saying where you got the numbers. I feel like that shouldn’t be controversial.

This poster, which was created and disseminated by abolitionist Theodore Parker, warns black people in Boston to beware of watchmen and police officers, who were legally allowed to act as kidnappers due to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

Text reads: Caution!! Colored people of Boston, one & all, you are hereby respectfully cautioned and advised, to avoid conversing with the watchmen and police officers of Boston, for since the recent order of the mayor & aldermen, they are empowered to act as kidnappers and slave catchers ... Keep a sharp look out for kidnappers, and have top eye open. April 24, 1851

NOEM v. VASQUEZ PERDOMO
SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting
this Court decides to take the once-extraordinary step of
staying the District Court’s order. That decision is yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. We should not
have to live in a country where the Government can seize
anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to
work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our
constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.

Justice Sotomayor is crystal clear in dissent as to what's happening: "We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."
