Sen. Eric Schmitt is an international laughingstock. He’s up for reelection in 2028, so we’ll have to work on him later.

Ever notice how everyone screaming about cutting social security as an 'entitlement' are the politicians who will retire with a comfy pension or the obscenely wealthy who have enough money for a thousand lifetimes? Raise the damn cap!!!

When water touches throat, body tries to protect airway. Victims swallow large amounts of water into stomach instead of lungs. The vocal cords can close tightly in a reflex called a laryngospasm. This stops water from entering lungs. Suppositions by non-scientists help no one.

You would have thought RFK Jr. would have spoken out against the destruction of his uncle’s memorial. But, apparently, he doesn’t use his position to protect his own family—just hurt ours.

IF one takes reasonable care of oneself as one enters senior life an unexpected pleasure is unlocked at age 65 when a customer service employee requires ID because they don't believe you are old enough to qualify for the senior discount. It ain't buying underage liquor, but still.

Fucking shout out to the Mercury. Reporting in this town is too often used to defend power + attack those who would question it rather than the other way around. Power is not distributed equally and a journalist’s job is to help the public analyze who has it, who doesn’t + how it’s being wielded.

I still can’t get over the fact that Putin’s close buddy pays for the wedding of Trump’s son and then Trump returns the favor by pushing Ukraine to capitulate. This is the most corrupt president in the US history by a huge margin!

So basically Trump’s new rap is that prices are high now and they are likely to get even higher between now and the midterms, but if you vote for them prices will immediately drop like magic after the election and everything will be pretty much free and we will live happily ever after.
