I put the one from over 4 months ago with today’s.
13 days of no power in Gary Indiana! Republicans Donald Trump and Mike Braun can not govern.
"Who else wasn't a politician when they started the job? Our president, President Trump ... we're worried about the price of groceries, not Taiwan" -- Fox & Friends did a puffy pre-recorded interview with Darline Graham to try to rehab her image ahead of tomorrow's runoff
Trump: "Canada has been ripping off the US for years...On January 1, Tariffs on all Cars, Automotive Parts, & Steel, will be increased to 50%...Canada will be treated like a State no longer! On Trade & in other ways they are among the worst Nations to deal with. WE DON’T NEED CANADA, THEY NEED US!"

Bees are the primary pollinators for approximately 75 percent of the world’s flowering plants and for about a third of the crops upon which humans rely. Without pollination, crop yields plummet or vanish entirely.

I have had multiple Air Guard/Reserve pilots/aircrew reach out to me about the deployment rates and lengths. Guardsmen and reservists are part time, and have civilian jobs. Retention in the flying ranks is going to be atrocious, and they were already down pilots and aircrew. More this week
I can’t be the only one who has noticed massive power outages happening much more often in only predominantly Black populated areas in red states at a time when those particular areas are having their power grids strained by data centers. PAY ATTENTION.
still one of the greatest conversations ever put on TV.
On 9/11, US airspace closed, Canada launched Operation Yellow Ribbon. Gander, a town of 10,000, received 38 airliners. Residents immediately sheltered, fed, clothed, and supported stranded passengers for days, providing this hospitality free of charge. interestingengineering.com/culture/oper...
we have had some corrupt and awful governors in history of Texas, and the worst by far is our current governor. Abbott has done far more damage to Texas residents than any governor in our history. Texans please send him packing.
It seems that a lot of right wingers who claim to care about women’s sports for the first time ever really just care more about attention for themselves, ratings and social media engagement.
The endless corruption of the Trump regime polluting every aspect of American life as average citizens get stomped on by the wealthy and powerful who have a government easily bribed. There is no law and order for corporations and the wealthy in Trump’s America.
Dementia isn't like what you see in the movies. This is what it looks like. Trump is confident the ultimate government intervention into rising bond yields is.......*checks notes*......the military.
Cocchiarella: What do you make of the media frenzy around Hasan Piker? Hogg: I find it kind of weird. He’s a streamer. He’s not an elected official. And there are a lot of elected officials out there right now saying horrible things.
Meiselas: When I hear all of these right-wing people attacking Senator Ossoff for bringing up objective facts about Natalie Harp traveling with Trump hiding in catering containers and they’re like “oh my god, that’s so mean” Dude shut up, you’re supporting someone who is a sexual predator.
Matthews: But during that time when I was working for the campaign, Natalie Harp was one of our campaign surrogates. And I remember that she would DM me on Twitter all the time. It came off to me that she really wanted to ingratiate herself within Trump world and connect with people.
We finally got some details on that Trump beef and it is way worse than you thought.
Don’t believe it? Read it for yourself. It’s been available for years to read.
They all speak like abusers (because that’s what they are)
Sean Duffy: "The fact we provide their security for them, and they take advantage of us? ... I think you're gonna see Mark Carney come to the table very very quickly, because it's gonna be devastating for his country."
Eric Trump chats with Natalie Harp as they await Donald at the Indycar race
Melania is at the race with Trump despite Natalie Harp’s presence 💔
