Nothing to see here...just the President of the United States inviting the country he illegally declared war on to "take out" 2 major American cities. If that's not treason, what is? 🤬 Law enforcement won't hold him accountable, but we WILL! The beginning of the end is on November 3rd. #VOTE-BLUE 🌊

clearly you were just sitting there. I don't know why it makes a difference that Jake Lang is a pedophile. I'm glad she pointed it out though, I might not have known Jake Lang was a pedophile if she hadn't told me. I just saw some friends hanging out

I still follow politics in my former home state of Kansas, and I see that “Colonel” Pat Proctor is up to his old tricks…

I quite enjoyed the Walnut Valley festival in Winfield, Kansas! But I noticed something that I’ve noticed in other venues: The audience was overwhelmingly white. Considering the roots of the music played there (which you might call acoustic Americana), it is odd.

What I Saw at a Maternity Ward in Kenya After the U.S. Cut Off Food and Foreign Aid

Photographs tell a story of two mothers determined to help their babies gain enough weight to leave the hospital — only to face little to no food again.

Today the Senate votes on an AI provision tucked within a crypto bill that gives AI companies full impunity from consumer protection laws. These handouts to the AI industry directly harm the public yet rarely make headlines. Our letter pushing back here: t.co/a5QeS1coOO

I wonder if the folks outside the US who cry that “Americans aren’t doing anything” understand that there is no direct action that the people can take to remove a president.

But despite all this, anti-immigration policies are quite popular. 🤷‍♂️

Immigration opponents often talk about the cost of integrating new residents into our society. But the cost of restricting immigration is quite high!

Perhaps it’s a coincidence… but the three most notable place names that Trump has tried to change are indigenous in origin: Denali (Athabaskan), Gulf of Mexico (Aztec), and Lake Ontario (Huron).

MAHA spent this past week using the Fauci show trial as a marketing blitz. Remember, Kennedy's publisher, Tony Lyons, also runs his lobbying, marketing, and fundraising arms. Wednesday's MAHA weekly call featured every possible book they could promote about the "scandal."

I did say once or twice that it was pointless to relitigate the 2024 elections. But there was a definite enthusiasm gap between the parties that year, and whatever else you can say about the DSA candidates, they are exciting.

A word to the (less) wise: If you’re going to illegally dump your commercial trash in a neighbor’s dumpster, at least have the sense not to include a shipping carton with your address on it. 🤦‍♂️

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.
