Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…

The Trump administration was too stupid to realize that cutting food safety programs and firing thousands of public servants would have shitty consequences. Watch.

I was thinking to myself earlier this week that it's better for the economy and the world to have 1,000 people who can afford a Rolls Royce than one person who can afford 1,000 Rolls Royces. It's weird to see a similar message in a political ad as if I manifested it. I agree with this 100%.

Correct ✅. Iran was permitted for peaceful use only, and we had expert inspectors from the Atomic Energy Commission to ensure compliance, and the Orange child-rapist convicted felon criminal scumbag psychopath, traitor Trump, threw it all away, because Bibi told him to. What a shit show.

GOP Pete Hegseth’s “Department of War” has nothing to do with US defense. It’s about the culture war he is fighting. It’s a war against women, gays, Black people, and brown people. He’s a mentally ill alcoholic with enough weaponry at his disposal to blow up the world. What could go wrong?

For "Nebraska," Bruce wanted music that felt like "a waking dream" and a record that moved like "poetry." The 1982 acoustic LP is both, and it endures as one of his most seminal works — 44 years after its release.

To put this in perspective, one hour of wages at the federal minimum buys you about one pound of ground beef. One hour of wages at the Seattle minimum buys you about *three* pounds. Same ratio for a gallon of diesel.
