Senate Reaches Deal To Reopen Government After Moderate Democrats Cave Republicans found enough Democrats willing to drop their party's demand to extend soon-to-expire health care subsidies for millions of people.

Senate reaches deal to reopen government after moderate Democrats cave

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.

They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Trump is now telling states to “UNDO” food assistance

He’s literally taking food from hungry Americans as he throws Gatsby parties with giant seafood towers

The Mob Boss sends a message to the Supreme Court ahead of oral arguments in the tariff case that oddly never mentions the constitution.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

For better or worse, all "60 Minutes" interviews, and anyone who goes on or watches the show knows this. That is only one of the reasons why the multi-million dollar settlement with Trump was so absurd.

Reproductive freedom is on the ballot in Virginia tomorrow.

My opponent wants to ban abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest.

Virginia — know that I will always protect a woman’s right to choose.

‘Utterly shameful’: Congress to crush US record this week for longest shutdown There’s no chance for Congress to resolve the shutdown and reopen the government before crossing the historic threshold Tuesday.

The shutdown will hit 35 days tomorrow — a new U.S. record — as Congress stays deadlocked and SNAP benefits and air travel are already feeling the strain.

Not a word of that here

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

Just sayin.

The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth. There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

This is some disturbing ICE Gestapo footage. They point guns at citizens and threaten to shoot them. They punch a guy in the back of the head repeatedly when he’s down and already subdued, then later slam his head into the side of their vehicle.

This took place on 10/31/2025 in Evanston, IL.

I really truly hope those math teachers sue the people at Turning Point USA for defaming them this weekend and putting their lives in danger.

Trump says the US has 0 microchip plants, but in 2 years we'll have some. (We have 76.)

He says we'll have 50% of the market and companies will "come back." (We already have 732 companies here, all of which simultaneously operate abroad. They never left.)

It’s not a mistake when you have no process.

Wait, did they edit an interview? Did they not air every second?

I heard that’s grounds for a multimillion lawsuit

It doesn’t get more pathetic than this. What a complete loser.

For 17 years I have relied on SNAP benefits. I'm on Social Security Disability, Medicare, Medicaid & live w/chronic illness & disabilities, 2x cancer survivor & Lupus. SNAP is ESSENTIAL for my nutrition. Me & 42M are experiencing a President who does NOT care if 1/8 of ALL Americans STARVE to death!

My law firm is currently litigating 13 redistricting cases and an additional 50 voting and election cases. 63 lawsuits and those numbers are growing. While this is a lot for a firm with fewer than 60 lawyers, I am proud that we helping to defend free and fair elections and democracy in court.🗳️⚖️💪

The cruelty is the point.
