Rebellious old lady says: I never signed up for Medicare part B because it’s a horrible program and you have to pay monthly ! So boo-hoo I won’t get a $90 check which won’t compensate anyone for how much they are getting ripped off for part B. But if I get a $90 check, I’m donating it to the DNC!

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

The 2026 election does not happen on November 3. It already has begun with early voting and mail in ballots. Please make sure now that the GOP has not purged you from voter rolls. Then make a plan to vote--if possible early! We MUST win this election. There is no Plan B!

What we've learned from all this is that there is no way to stop a corrupt regime from doing whatever the hell they want once they seize the levers of power. The answer for now is simple - never again vote for a Republican.

The constitutional issue is bigger than the $810 million: if an administration can make appropriated funds disappear through a procedural loophole, Congress’s power of the purse becomes conditional on executive consent.

Why would Trump feel pressure to follow a court order? The CORRUPT GOP Supreme Court gave him immunity. Plus he knows there is no one who can enforce this order. Trump is how our Republic dies--unless we win the House AND the Senate!

I notice that the entire Trump administration has the same character flaws as Trump himself: Lazy, and therefore chose obvious solutions and policies; Intellectually lazy and incurious, they stay within the bounds of opinions and beliefs they have always had They only innovate cruelty and violence.

According to the investigation, the Pentagon relied on outdated intelligence that still identified the site as an IRGC facility, while personnel placed too much trust in Maven to flag stale or conflicting information. It didn’t. The school ultimately appeared as a recommended target.
