Anybody writing or talking about Ryan Walters should be required to remind people that he runs THE WORST SCHOOLS IN THE NATION. He is perhaps the worst local elected official in the country, which is really saying something.

Of Canoes and Caesars: J.D. Vance’s Imperial Birthday Float The pampered prince of political prostitution enjoys the spoils of betraying everything he ever said he believed

"Officially, the request was for safe navigation of Vance’s security. But multiple sources report the whole charade was to make the river nice for Vance’s little b-day paddle. One authority said deepening the river gave Vance β€œideal kayak conditions”

Torres: If the bill is so popular, why are the cuts largely delayed until after the midterm election? And if the bill surgically targets fraud, waste and abuse, why is it necessary to set up a $50 billion stabilization fund for rural hospitals?

RFK Jr. asks CDC for new measles treatment guidance amid his unfounded claims Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

β€˜Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

You aren’t seeing Black folks at protests because we know Trump will use us as an excuse to start violenceβ€”to justify martial law.

Black folks, stay home. Be in peace. Our time will come.

Everyone else, peacefully protest, but understand we won’t be human shields or targets! Don’t ask that of us.

They’re still pulling bodies from the Potomac & trump is already blaming DEI for the worst air disaster in America in over 20 yrs. He has no evidence of this, of course. But he wants to play politics with the bodies of 67 people presumed dead in this tragedy because he is stupid, racist and evil.

Matthew W. Huttle, who served time for his role in the Jan. 6 attack and was pardoned by Donald Trump, was shot and killed by a Jasper County sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop in Indiana following an altercation with the officer.

Police say Huttle was armed and resisted arrest.
