My parents both smoked Kent. My mom passed away from mesothelioma. They blamed talcum powder.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

Should Hitler's DNA have been studied? Ground-breaking research has made some fascinating discoveries on the dictator, from his ancestry to possible neurological disorders.

The genetics expert told the BBC that when she was first approached to take part in the project several years ago, she was very aware of the potential implications on studying the DNA of someone like Adolf Hitler - "I'm not interested in sensationalising things".

An unwrapped tamale.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Message to our friends from our hoomom. If able plz consider donating to a group that provides food for the beloved pets of people struggling right now. Our mum grew up very poor & remembers how hard it was to feed the family & their pet. Share some kindness. Love you all 🩷

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

The math behind Trump’s 50-year mortgage gambit: Lower payments now, but almost double the long-term costs President Trump recently floated the idea of 50-year mortgages. Longer home loans would lower monthly payments, but come with higher rates and added interest expenses.

And we thought the student loan scam was bad.
Numbers don't lie. Do the math.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

Elon takes a hit. Epic takedown. He's not human.

take a moment to reflect.

Trump admin challenges judge’s order to Pay SNAP benefits in full Trump admin attorneys filed an appeal challenging Thursday’s ruling that the federal government is required to pay full SNAP benefits.

Trump is now appealing a court ruling that would require this Administration to pay November SNAP benefits in full.

The GOP's insistence on making SNAP a political pawn in their shutdown scheme is heartless and does nothing to help everyday Americans.
