Anyone who believed Trump when he said that probably also believed him when he said windmills cause cancer.
Rep. Dave Min: "For the last two years, Republicans in the House have done more hearings on trans athletes in college fencing -- and it's one, and it's a coed sport -- than they have on corruption, on allegations of pay to play pardons, on ICE misconduct ... "

Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 17h agoOct 2025: Nvidia’s Jensen Huang tells reporters that the company was contributing to Trump’s ballroom “in a small way” but doesn’t provide a dollar amount. Oct 2026: Washpost reports Nvidia gave $25 million to the ballroom and had asked it be kept anonymous. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...
Rep. James Walkinshaw: "A fundamental question is why did President Trump take no action after he was warned that Jensen Huang had this relationship with a Chinese spy? Congress has to get to the bottom of that."
A grand jury in Texas indicted an ICE officer Friday on a second-degree felony charge for allegedly running over a man near Houston earlier in October. District Attorney Sean Teare said the Mexican national who was hit is "seriously injured and hospitalized to this day" and has no criminal record.
feckless to point out almost but if President Biden had had this close a relationship with the guy, was warned repeatedly, and then Biden’s Commerce Secretary essentially helped facilitate what Biden’s own intel officials suspected of being a giant smuggling operation to Beijing… Game. Over.
Todd Blanche suggests that perhaps Alice Huang isn't really a spy after all and says he has no concerns about Lutnick's alleged involvement in the Nvidia scandal (they are circling the wagons!)
Health insurance costs jumped for workers and employers in 2026, and they’re expected to jump even higher next year. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies just made a combined $9.2 billion in third quarter profits. Still not sure we need Medicare for All?
These two clowns proud of their Russian Olympic jackets while Russia bombs civilians every day. What a disgrace.
Second, this uniform allows him to borrow the visual language of anti-establishment rebellion and outsiderness, even while being one of the richest men on earth sitting at the center of economic establishment. Especially with AI, the tech industry is reshaping everything in our lives.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayBENNY JOHNSON: Would you be in favor of a burka ban here in America, or at least in Minnesota? TOM EMMER: There should be no burkas. There should be nothing like that allowed. It's pure stupidity to say 'this is what they believe.' Really? Over 80% of this population is on welfare programs.
