This is such a bad idea! Banks make more money, and home buyers will have to delay retirement just to keep making mortgage payments

Headline: A Two-Headed Coin That Always Comes Up 'Trump' Subhead: Would a proposed coin featuring the president on both sides commemorate America's founding, or undercut its founding principles? Image: Front of coin with bas-relief profile of Trump's head. Verbiage: "LIBERTY" "IN GOD WE TRUST" "1776-2026." Back of coin with Trump from chest up with raised fist standing in front of American Flag. Verbiage: "FIGHT•FIGHT•FIGHT" "$1" "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" "E PLURIBUS UNUM" NYTimes Nov 9, 2025

This man's narcissism and his cult following's adoration is nauseating. This coin is proposed for America's 250th birthday. Ran out of gift articles.

Hegseth Is Purging Military Leaders With Little Explanation

“squandering an enormous amount of talent.”

Insecure man at the top can't have people with more experience and expertise around--especially if they don't bow down to the man in the WH

She lost me right from the get-go:
"...our institutions... seem very clearly self-evidently broken and not working the way that they’re supposed to, in ways that you could sum up in the word 'wokeness.''
"...our institutions have gone woke because there are more women in them than there used to be."

From other recent posts here, they're showing up at wellness checks and at O'Hare ride share lines terrorizing drivers as well.

Sounds like someone who is preparing to run for President in 2028

I want to see every New York paper have this count every day on the front page. Hopefully other papers will follow suit. Get the House GOP back to work!

“At its peak, the enslaved population’s market value exceeded the worth of all the other industrial capital in the country, which would include railroads and factories…Slave owners mortgaged their human property so they could buy or improve land and to carry out other investments…”

We still have to reckon with "all men are created equal." Yes, our laws have evolved and conditions definitely have changed, but white supremacy, patriarchy, and christian nationalism keep rearing their ugly heads.

"...this playbook has done little to advance Hungary as a country..."

All strongmen led autocratic gov'ts eventually fail. The advances are only for the leader and his cronies. The people get sick of it and demand change. The degree of violence that change requires may vary.

The grim task of recovering thousands of bodies from the rubble of Gaza Relatives and experts tell of the human and societal need to find and identify the dead, while images and data shed light on the scale of the job

The dead deserve to be found.

Just thinking back to 9/11 recovery efforts how complicated the process was to find and identify remains in the 1.5 million tons of debris that was transported to Fresh Kills on Staten Island. Around 40% are still unidentified all these years later.

How the US is preparing a Caribbean staging ground near Venezuela The US military is upgrading a Cold War base in the Caribbean it abandoned 20 years ago. Experts say it’s a step towards sustained operations in the region.

This isn't happening for no reason.

BTW Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands should get statehood.

@neguse.house.gov gives a lesson on how to reframe a journalist’s stupid question about #SNAP! 💪🏼

Where does the AZ lawsuit stand?

Trump Purges Commission Overseeing His D.C. Makeover The White House has fired all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, and is set to replace them with loyalists.

Ugh--we know what this means...

Volunteers Step In to Help Understaffed NOAA Track Hurricane Melissa

Why would NOAA be understaffed, you ask? Well, ask DOGE. And don’t forget to thank the recently fired and forced into retirement for coming back to help out in this hour of need.

She thinks she’s embarrassing him with that nickname but she’s just reminding everyone how considerate and pro-woman Walz is.

That Argentinian $40B should be redirected to help Jamaica recover from this cataclysmic event

Trump Deserter Gives Dems Roadmap to Beat President Sarah Matthews was Trump’s deputy press secretary from June 2020 to January 2021.

Sounds like good advice.
“...it is 2025. You are the current sitting president. All of your legal challenges failed over and over and over again. You’ve never proven that there was any significant fraud in the 2020 election. Grow up. It is time to govern. Reopen the government. Do your job."

"...not trying to be biased, but..." always prefaces something *very* much so.

Javier Milei hails ‘tipping point’ as his far-right party wins Argentina’s midterm elections Result falls short of giving Milei a congressional majority but surprises many analysts after series of scandals

Guess this means $20B coming their way, with a possible additional $20B. Wonder if this had anything to do with how the people voted? Meanwhile, no more SNAP for November.

Feeding the Lakota The Pine Ridge Reservation is a food desert, and many of the Lakota people there struggle with food insecurity. Even when people on the rez can afford food, they often struggle to find healthy, fresh ...

Please help or boost if you're able! One Spirit Lakota is raising funds for the food pantry in anticipation of EBT cards possibly not getting filled for November due to the shutdown.

Funds go to feeding residents of Pine Ridge, which already has one of the worst food deserts in the country.

Clever

This convicted felon is taking full advantage of all the weaknesses in our institutions
