MacFarlane: The Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio has got the same issue. Last year, they paid $50,000 for diesel to transport their food. Now, they’re paying $150,000 for the diesel to transport their food.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

We know the GOP is corrupt. They think their voters are stupid. Constituents? Who are they? They frequently show us who they are with their racist comments. I do think, though, we’ve underestimated their sheer lack of intelligence. Why TF did they try to grill Jack Smith just weeks before midterms?

It’s puzzling how the Republicans can, day after day, continue to let Trump commit a multitude of crimes, but to watch them feign outrage and to attack Jack Smith for prosecuting an actual attempted coup is truly disgusting. May they be forever damned for what they’re doing to our country.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

While you are getting up and going to start the work week, members of the Trump Admin are planning their next lavish taxpayer funded parties, trips and personal vanity projects while searching for new ways to turn their govt appointment into another grift to enrich themselves.

Mamdani: "To have a potential governor who embraces ICE and has gone so far as to create effectively a private militia in Nassau County, that is in many ways the antithesis of what people hope for is the future of the state, and yet that is exactly what Blakeman is offering."

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.

Yes, he has no idea how to end HIS war. Yes, he doesn’t want to hear that whatever negotiation that could end HIS war would be sooo much worse than the Obama deal he shredded. But, let’s ask ourselves how much money he, his family and cronies are making off HIS war.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
