Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

That was dumb. Didn't he realize Trump doesn't really like his sons?

Let's just tuck this one away and remember to bring it out again when we're having a national party when he-who-must-not-be-named dies.

Pope Leo and the Catholic bishops need to be all over this. Anyone who talks about being pro-life needs to get loud in protest. It’s disgusting.

I wasn't sure if he was referring to that or if he'd hatched another bribery scheme.

What creeps me out the most about this is that he chose San Diego--a military town. If he was just suggesting cities he hates, he would have picked San Francisco. Makes me wonder if he's throwing this out as an off-handed comment but that it might reflect actual intelligence that's been gathered.

I don't expect to get one of these $500 checks, but if I do, I'm immediately depositing it--and then writing five $100 checks to the Democratic candidates in the five states that Dems have the best chance of flipping. It would be the best use of the money I can possibly think of.

Because Republicans have to do everything the opposite of what Dems do, Ted Cruz is apparently taking the opposite approach to a presidential run as J.B. Pritzker--gaining weight instead of losing weight. Let's see how that plays.

Imagine knowing your husband is an idiot--and a criminal and a serial cheater--and then also knowing that you are so soulless that you stay married to him anyway because you like nice things.

Anyone who has noticed that the country is currently being run by conmen, imbeciles, and failsons can rest assured that no, America has definitely not become "too meritocratic."

I know I'm only seeing snippets of the Jackson-Collins debate but I'm getting the impression that Troy Jackson is wiping the floor with her. True or just wishful thinking?

This article identifies this guy as a Brazilian voter but doesn't say whether he also has American citizenship. If he doesn't, it would be a little too perfect if this stunt got him deported. I'm also really curious if he is a Bolsonaro supporter.

I'm confused. I thought Trump said it wasn't really a war and that we already won it several times over anyway.

Megyn Kelly has a teen daughter and yet she says things like this. Someone should call Child Protective Services.

Public on FB Official US Department of the Treasury mailing with signed letter from President Trump including $500 government check. This "refund" characterized as a political bribe, noting that Republicans let ACA tax subsidies expire, doubling self-employed monthly premiums from $800 to $1,600.

The image shows two printed paper documents resting on a light-colored wooden surface: an official white letter and a green United States Treasury check laid across the bottom portion of the page.

**The Letter**

* **Header & Date:** The top-left corner bears the heading "U.S. Department of the Treasury / Bureau of the Fiscal Service / PO BOX 51320 / Philadelphia, PA 19115-6320". The date "September 30, 2026" is centered near the top.

* **Recipient Information:** The recipient's name, barcode, and mailing address block below the header are covered by a thick black box. Fine vertical tracking text and numbers run along both the left and right margins of the paper.

* **Body Text:** Four paragraphs of single-spaced text address the recipient regarding a $500 refund related to HealthCare.gov and healthcare policies.

* **Signature:** The letter concludes with "Sincerely," followed by a black ink signature, and the printed text "DONALD J. TRUMP" above "PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA".

**The Treasury Check**

* **Design & Seal:** Overlapping the bottom section of the letter is a standard green United States Treasury check featuring an image of the Statue of Liberty on the left and the Treasury seal.

* **Redactations:** The payee's name and address area in the center, as well as the check number field in the upper right, are completely blacked out with heavy marker.

* **Amount & Details:** The legal amount field on the right displays `$******500*00`, with text underneath reading `VOID AFTER ONE YEAR`.

* **Bottom Barcodes & Signatures:** Routing and account numbers in MICR font are printed along the bottom edge, alongside an official signature on the bottom-right signature line.

A friend of mine just got a taxpayer-funded bribe to vote Republican.
This friend has been self-employed for years and gets her health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. Her monthly premium went from $800 to $1600 after Republicans like Congressman Chuck Fleischmann allowed the ACA tax subsidy to expire. Everything she'd been putting away for retirement is now going to pay her insurance premium.
Apparently, with his poll numbers in the toilet, the Grifter In Chief is targeting people who were or are insured through the ACA to lie about which party harmed them and buy their vote.
This is probably illegal, but if it benefits them, the party of "Christian values" doesn't care.
Jesus wept.
And vote for Anna Golladay. See less

Never assume that Megyn Kelly can’t go lower than she has in the past. Just like Trump, there’s no bottom with her.
