If only the U.S.A. had a sane president, the process of re-opening Strait of Hormuz could have begun, and oil could have started to flow again. Instead, he dashed any hope of an imminent resolution, and also the hopes of most Republicans running in the midterms, if they had any hope to begin with.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

Here's what I don't understand: I thought the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled that tRump cannot unilaterally impose tariffs. So what's with the new tariffs on Canada🇨🇦? Do all Americans get to just thumb their nose at their very corrupt Supreme Court now? Or is that reserved for tRump?

Canada is retaliating against the Trump administration with counter-tariffs targeting over 700 products, putting its hardest squeeze on American steel and aluminum. The dollar-for-dollar measures hit back at the new 50% tariffs the United States imposed on roughly $20 billion in Canadian imports.

beef got expensive because he tariffed beef. the fix is suspending his own tariff for 90 days, a window that closes right after the midterms. he's not making beef cheaper. he's lending you the lower price until the votes are counted, then taking it back.

The NAB is pushing to mandate AM radio in cars under the guise of protecting emergency communications. Meanwhile, they're lobbying to put those same life-saving broadcasts behind encrypted TV paywalls. Let's be consistent: No encryption on the public airwaves. Period.

Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.

I think one question more people should ask themselves is, which would you rather have on land near you? An Ai datacenter, wind turbines, or solar panels? Vacant land WILL get used eventually, but the first drives up electric rates and is bad for the environment. The other two help lower rates ...
