The big question for every location: who - specifically - is profiting from building each of these Hellholes?

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

And these people call themselves the “religious right”. They have single handedly destroyed every last bit of decorum & decency that was the Presidency of the United States. If the GOP were capable of shame they’d be shameful but they’re not do they aren’t. #ThankYouGovNewsom #Epstein #WTFAmerica

A reminder that Brazil arrested and charged their former dictator Bolsonaro with planning a coup and trying to overturn the 2022 elections in their country.

If only the United States had done the same instead of giving the plotter of a coup full totalitarian power of the govt.

"While the wildfires were raging in California, Ben and Ted Cruz had a podcast where they just attacked Governor Newsom and Karen Bass—that was while the fires were still raging. So spare us the grandstanding and virtue signaling about how this stuff shouldn't be partisan."

The worst chief justice of all time Move over, Roger Taney and Melville Fuller.

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time

"American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

In Texas, when a baby dies in a mother's womb and is illegal for the mother to receive life-saving care, they say it's all in God's plan. When a historic flood takes the lives of little white Christian girls, they unjustly blame the NWS.

I’ve been loudly warning people about the rise of fascism for over 15 years but even now I still get treated like Randy Quaid in Independence Day even though now they have their own massive masked secret police and concentration camps.

FEMA Ends Wasteful, Politicized Grant Program, Returning Agency to Core Mission of Helping Americans Recovering from Natural Disasters
Release Date: April 4, 2025
Under Secretary Noem, DHS is eliminating waste, fraud and abuse
WASHINGTON - FEMA is ending the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program and canceling all BRIC applications from Fiscal Years 2020-2023. If grant funds have not been distributed to states, tribes, territories and local communities, funds will be immediately returned either to the Disaster Relief Fund or the U.S. Treasury.
Statement Attributable to a FEMA Spokesperson:
"The BRIC program was yet another example of a wasteful and ineffective FEMA program. It was more concerned with political agendas than helping Americans affected by natural disasters. Under Secretary Noem's leadership, we are committed to ensuring that Americans in crisis can get the help and resources they need."
Approximately $882 million of funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will be returned to the U.S. Treasury or reapportioned by Congress in the next fiscal year. The 2021 law made $1 billion available for BRIC over five years, $133 million to date has been provided for about 450 applications. FEMA estimates more than $3.6 billion will remain in the Disaster Relief Fund to assist with disaster response and recovery for communities and survivors.
Ending this program will help ensure that grant funding aligns with the President's Executive Orders and Secretary Noem's direction and best support states and local communities in disaster planning, response and recovery.

While Kristi Noem’s out here blaming everyone but herself, here’s her own April press release bragging about clawing back $882M in disaster resilience grants. The kind that could’ve helped in Texas. They’d rather wage culture wars than actually protect human lives.
