Sen. Mark Kelly: "The president has spent a good portion of his adult life sitting on gold toilets and doesn't know what hardship is, and doesn't understand our service members. In fact, it's insulting what he said -- that the deployment wasn't long enough. He doesn't know sacrifice."

“For the first time in more than a decade, 2026 will see no women promoted to the US Navy’s admiral rank — even as women now account for one-quarter of all Navy officers, nearly one-third of the service’s midgrade ranks, and about 20 percent of the service overall.”

The cyclosporiasis outbreak appears to be the largest ever recorded in the United States, and members of Congress are now demanding answers from the CDC about whether staffing cuts, hiring freezes, and agency reorganization affected the federal response.

Gas is high. Groceries are high. Rent is high. Wages are stagnant. Another forever war. ICE is committing murder on our streets. We can’t eat fresh produce and our national monuments and parks are being pillaged. But, at least the president has made billions of dollars in the last year…

Inspiring, dramatic, USA Hockey victories for both the men and the women this year. Congratulations to all. But let's be careful of the 1980 comparisons. Back then, we were the good guys, the champions of democracy against a totalitarian USSR. Today, it is, sadly, a very different story.

A man who sleeps with an “underage girl” is rap*ng a child and a ped0phile. A man who participates in “forceful s*x” is actually called rap3, and being a rap*st. For some reason predators want to ignore the terminology and reject who they are. Label them, shame them. Call them out.
