If you buy a car from a company that pays its CEO a trillion dollars, you’re part of the problem.

They wanted him charged with a felony but the grand jury said, NO. So they charged him with a misdemeanor. Now the trial jury says NO, too. Sorry, ICEman with a mustard spot on your shirt, retribution shall not be yours.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them β€œviolent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

πŸ“Œ Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

ICE raided a bakery in Clackamas, so they decided to make Portland Frog pastries.

The earth's orbit is what it is. Sunrise and sunset change as a result. BFD! The only thing that makes people nuts is changing the clocks twice a year. Pick a lane, people! My vote is Standard Time because, overall, fewer issues. But whatever, stop slamming us with a semiannual time change.

If you are considering a health product and you see an ad with a testimonial, pause for a beat.

Ask yourself why the company is using emotion to manipulate you into buying their product.

Look for data, not testimonials, and failing that, ask your healthcare professional.

Hopium is expensive.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

What a tale. It illustrates the fallacy behind the "let's hand out mittens and tents" and "let's throw 'em in jail" points of view. But do we have the brains and the will to effectively address the epidemic of homelessness? Seeing no evidence of that.

I've wanted to see more of this for a long time. And I'd love to know if there is any longitudinal data that could tell us whether the public has become less informed over the years.

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

A people who would allow a president to ignore all proper procedures, rules, norms, and laws and unilaterally demolish a third of the people’s house and build a palace on the grounds of the people’s house is a people who deserve to live under tyranny.

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment.

Here’s what experts say you need to know.

Israel launches renewed strikes in Gaza less than 3 weeks into Trump's ceasefire deal Israel's military has begun striking the Gaza Strip again, as Israel and Hamas traded blame for violating the ceasefire brokered by President Trump.

Another failed Trump β€œdeal.” No surprise.

Why are so many people puzzled by declining birthrates? Have they looked at the world? Why would anyone invite a child into this dystopia?

It's been 33 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Meet the new Trumpified Pentagon press corps β€œWe are grateful for Secretary Pete Hegseth’s leadership and his remarkable track record of success.”

MyPillow tycoon Mike Lindell’s LindellTV. Frontlines, the media arm of Turning Point USA. Tim Pool's Timcast.

Together, these, along with at least 15 other right-wing outlets, make up the new Pentagon press corps.
