Has anyone else watched All the Empty Rooms?

If not. You should.

Italy will donate large number of power generators to Ukraine to help the country manage power outages.

The generators, manufactured by Italian companies, are expected to arrive in the coming weeks.

In a phone call with Zelenskyy Meloni reaffirmed Italy's unwavering support.

You can be the most loving, compassionate person in the world... but... if youโ€™re not actively guarding your mind...you will become desensitized to human suffering...in ways that are far beyond what you would ever consider acceptable.

Safe to say Marjorie Taylor Greeneโ€™s divorce from Donald Trump is final.

โ€œAfter President Trump called me a traitor, I got a pipe bomb threat on my house.โ€

โ€œI stood for women who were raped when they were 14 years old. And the president that I fought forโ€ฆ called me a traitor for that.โ€

Hmmm, I wonder what the voters think? A reckoning is coming in 2026 and a bigger one in 2028 and after as people are held politically & legally accountable.

Libraries and museums get federal funding back after Trump cuts Earlier this year, the Trump administration gutted the Institute of Museum and Library Services, leading to canceled federal grants. Now, after a court order, those grants are being reinstated.

Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.

Community members in Kenner, Louisiana, activate rapid-response teams to follow Greg Bovino and his Border Patrol goons through the neighborhood. They alert residents and warn them not to open their doors unless CBP has a court-ordered warrant.

They are a bunch of degenerate fools. They think that they are so great but by their actions they show how small and insignificant they really are. This is how history will remember them for eternity.

Why bother to interview someone that is a puppet of the Trump regime and is not willing to think for himself. It's a waste of time.

Let's see the list. This Trump Regime likes to say things and then provide absolutely no evidence to back it up. For example, the Epstein Files, let's see them all. They are talking bull shit and hoping we either believe it or get tired of it. But, we won't! Show us the list! Show us the files!

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.
