You might be losing your health care, but don’t worry — Republicans are hard at work wining and dining billionaires to fund Trump’s new ballroom.

My mom is about to undergo a spinal surgery where the trial device was a game-changer regarding her quality of life. Without it, the pain medication would be hard for an elderly person to take. The states which are affected now are Arizona, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington.😢

Video shows Department of Justice official urging Jan. 6 rioters to 'kill' cops The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.

NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. He’s now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.

It’s stunning that when two firefighters and two congress members are executed by a Maga and not an immigrant, or drag queen, or person of colour, how abruptly it’s dropped by the media.

June 26 is a great day for a birthday. I am lucky to celebrate another one. Thanks, Foxy.💙

This isn’t a good idea even if the plane was being donated to the U.S. government. But Trump GETS TO KEEP THE PLANE??? It’s simply a cash payment to Trump in exchange for favors. Just wildly illegal.

Someone tell the NY Times that Hillary is accepting a plane from Qatar. Then maybe they’ll stop being pussies and start covering it for the corruption that it is.

Ernest S. Harbaugh, a Cybertruck owner from Ohio, states that 28 children laughed at his Cybertruck after a minor problem resulted in it being towed on a flatbed.

Please don't put in the newspaper that 28 children laughed at me

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Donald Trump cannot cancel the 2026 elections. But he can make it very difficult for them to be free and fair. His executive order is aimed at doing just that.

Here is my promise: We are going to sue to stop him and we will win.

This is why I don’t watch CNN. Our democracy is in peril. But, you want to play gotcha with the Democrats.
