O’Leary is an idiot who doesn’t live in the real world. He has no idea what it’s like in the working class.

O’Leary: If any of you cared about the victims, you wouldn't drag these women back into the limelight… They don’t want you to help them anymore

Cross: How do you know that?

O’Leary: Don’t you think if it was you, you would rather get on with your life?

Cross: No, I would want justice pursued

Tell Congress: No Troops on Our Streets President Trump has deployed thousands of National Guard and federal troops into our communities. Tell Congress: No troops on our streets.

President Trump reportedly wants to use military bases — and the service members stationed in them — to intern and deport thousands of immigrants.

Tell your members of Congress to stop this dangerous misuse of the military immediately.

Kids belong in schools with free lunches and should have summers to enjoy their formative years with family and friends so they don’t turn into talking dickhead news anchors that want to bring back child labor.

I am sure NPR meant to say “the employees who have been so thoroughly harassed and demeaned that their only option is to quit”

How do people get jobs that don’t require college degrees when immigrating? While traveling, I’d met servers and people doing basic jobs in hospitality somehow got visas. How is this possible when all the requirements seem to only benefits STEM jobs that require at least a bachelors?

Just so’s we’re all clear, almost 3/4 of everything we buy from Europe is now 15% more expensive.

Dude was in my face saying how wealthy he was & I’d be a fool to turn him down.

I then put my wrist on the table to explain how Rolexes shouldn’t tick loudly like his, and let him listen to mine.

I explained the 2nd hand should glide-tick instead of harsh clicking movements.He left immediately 😂

Massie on Mike Johnson saying he just wants to inflict political pain: "Is the pain he talking about that somebody in our party will be embarrassed by those files? Then that's not a good excuse ... why is it painful for Mike Johnson to call a vote on this?"

I've noticed that as the United States has become increasingly dishonest and corrupt, cover-ups no longer need to be conducted in secret.

What’s 8 miles long, has 800 posts and costs $27 million? The new I-70 sound wall The new wall is meant to block out more sound, dust and pollutants for the nearby neighborhoods.

The I-70 sound wall is getting more than a repair.

Reminder here that Bernie lost twice using capitalist talking points. Mamdani won unapologetically advocating for city-run grocery stores and free public transportation by raising taxes on the rich, ACTUAL socialism.

This is the future. Socialism is the future and must be for the working class.

do I have this right? innocent immigrants are being sent to rot in a slave-labor gulag in El Salvador, because fuck you, that's why, while a convicted child sex trafficker with ties to Dear Leader is being considered for a pardon because she's been "treated so unfairly"? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

#USDemocracy
Why doesn’t Trump want to change the name of the Baltimore Ravens back to the Huston Oilers, or the Tennessee Titans back to the Baltimore Colts, or the KC Chiefs back to the Dallas Texans, or send the Rams back to Cleveland?
And what’s with putting the cane back in Coke?

Every news outlet that reports on US stocks "surging" should be required to note that the wealthiest 10% of Americans hold more than 90% of all the value of US stocks.

Welker: Should all of the Epstein files be released?

Speaker Johnson: All credible evidence. The word credible is important because you have to protect innocent people’s names and reputations whose names might be intertwined in these files

My general opinion is this; if your religion or philosophy justifies or encourages oppressing other people in any way then it should be binned like the trashfire it is.

Kennedy to oust care task force, WSJ reports; HHS says no decision yet U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to remove all the members of an advisory panel that determines what cancer screenings and other preventive health measures insurers must cover, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

RFK Jr. plans to fire all 16 members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force calling them too “woke”. The panel sets free coverage rules for cancer screenings & more. A key meeting was quietly canceled.
