Byron Donalds -- good question, how did he get rich in office in such a short time? @DavidJolly, do you know about this situation?

Florida completes $83M purchase of 4 waterfront acres in Destin The decision to buy the land has come under scrutiny from top Republican officials and longtime Florida conservation experts.

Florida -- where DeSantis pays $83 million for a 4 acre sandbar ripe for erosion owned by a major donor, while ignoring a $759 million backlog of repairs needed across the Florida state park system which Florida already owns. #VoteBlue #SaveFlorida

Ugh. You know why there was no investigation. The plea and sentence deal was handed out like a merit badge.

Revolting and in violation of procedural requirements at the time and everyone knew it.

Ugh.

She was half his age and already better than him at welding. But instead of working on himself and doing better work, he murdered her. With premeditation. They better up that charge to 1st degree!

ICE’s chilling surveillance tool hits home here | Editorial A little-known surveillance tool used by ICE will take your photograph and add it to the agency’s databases for 15 years. Refusal is not an option.

Now a photo app is considered definitive as an ICE citizen identifier.

Hey, I thought those "deep state" and "black helicopter" folks were against stuff like this. Makes "show us your papers" like a good thing.

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

A reminder. The flow of money in the economy starts with the people purchasing products they need or want. Without the demand of the people there is no economy. Business exists to serve those demands and comes after the demands. The right tries to reverse this.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I can disagree with the president at times, especially this past Monday, on the Marines' 250th anniversary, when he honored the new Syrian president who is an Al Qaeda terrorist and was wanted by our government for years."

There are these moments in history where citizens go for a "redo" of a mistake.

Think supporting Napoleon after his escape from Elba ...

Years of terrorist Repubs finding out that their abortion restrictions were a death sentence for women and ill concieved psuedoscience that set a dangerously wrong precedent.

Senate Repubs won't support extensions on ACA subsidies unless stripping away abortion rights at state level is included.

A pardon eliminates use of the 5th Amendment for the crimes pardoned ... how will Trump thread that needle?

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has stated that the US air strikes on “alleged” drug smuggling boats will be treated under international law as crimes against humanity.

Trump administration will require SNAP participants to reapply for benefits Food aid recipients are already required to recertify their information regularly. But the move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollins’ effort to overhaul the program.

The Trump administration will require millions of low-income people to reapply for food stamps as part of an effort to crack down on “fraud,” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said.

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

Scrapped Florida state parks plans came ‘directly’ from DeSantis’ office, suit says A newly filed legal complaint provides more behind-the-scenes details from one of Florida’s biggest recent controversies.

Duh-Santis lied about taking no part in the plans to put golf courses on park land and even met with the developer per whistleblower allegations.

Even our own Holiday Island would have been swept into the development plans ... defeated by our Pinellas activists.

Kristi Noem-Tied Firm Secretly Got Piece of $220 Million DHS Campaign The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for the taxpayer-funded campaign.

NEW: DHS invoked the “national emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign.

We found that a firm with deep ties to Kristi Noem secretly benefited from the deal.

Every day there are multiple instances of blatant corruption. Our government policy is for sale to the highest bidder and every bad actor in the world knows it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/w...

NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel granted waivers to Deputy Director Dan Bongino and two newly hired senior FBI staff, exempting them from polygraph exams normally required to gain access to America’s most sensitive classified information, officials said.

Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani, other key figures allegedly involved in efforts to overturn 2020 election Ed Martin, the United States Pardon Attorney, announced that President Trump would be pardoning key figures allegedly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Good grief! Trump issues #NonPardonPardons to 72 of his 2020 election denial allies, none of whom are subject to federal charges nor have federal convictions.

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

Thank you Nancy Pelosi.
Legend.

Makes more sense now

Trump posted this picture of himself on Truth Social. He thinks it shows his beautiful golden Oval Office. He thinks it makes him look important.
Pathetic, lonely old man, no friends no pets, sitting in his phony gilded palace pretending to be something other than than the horrible mess he is.

Are they finally catching on to his eternal grifting and gaslighting?
