Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

Commentary: For much of the 20th century, efforts to remake government were driven by a desire to make it work for regular Americans. The Project 2025 agenda being implemented by Trump seeks to roll that back and realign government with the interests of private business.

This is a perfect example of today's congressional Republican -- she confidently repeats an idiotic lie from Trump that's already been disproven, is immediately called out for the lie, and just lets what would normally be a career-ending moment roll right off her back. No brain, no shame.

Elon Musk’s staffers entered USAID offices and accessed classified materials without proper clearance. Two senior security officials who tried to stop them were placed on leave. DOGE staffers have since obtained the classified information and carried materials out of the building.

As ever, the loss of something good and useful for Americans is framed as a loss for Democrats — in the mass media, everything becomes just a political football to be kicked back and forth instead of examined for its impact on everyday citizens regardless of political party.

September 12 is the most common birthday in America because it is the peak of the baby season but also people would rather not schedule c-sections or inducements for September 11th.
A quite complex chart showing most and least common birthdays. Between July and September there are a lot of births. Christmas and New years are the time with the least!

Donald Trump is an adjudicated rapist. This is a fact. He was found liable for rape in civil court, and owes his victim more than eighty million dollars for both raping her, and then lying about raping her. And stating these objective facts makes me braver than all of ABC News.
