Any wonder why Republicans - like totalitarian systems throughout recent history - want to control what books are available in school & public libraries? Thought control is a tenet of authoritarianist regimes.

Let’s review our state’s dire situation, shall we? The Governor of Texas is a Republican. The Lieutenant Governor of Texas is Republican. The Attorney General of Texas is a Republican. The Texas House is controlled by Republicans. The Texas Senate is controlled by Republicans.

Welcome to the last Friday & last day of July 2026. It’ll be another day in the upside down. This week we witnessed a leading retired scientist - a true American hero - on trial in front of feckless Republican senators while a pedophile, rapist, felon is not. I find it absolutely terrifying that

Tech billionaire Elon Musk, whose businesses (SpaceX, Tesla, Starlink) depend a great deal on the largess of American taxpayers, is jumping into the midterms with a huge investment in a plan to boost Republican voter turnout, Axios has learned. Driving the news: Musk is resuscitating his dormant

Humpty-Trumpty’s disastrous $150 million fair on DC’s National Mall FLOPPED so spectacularly he's now asking taxpayers for $10 million more. The fat Orange Turd promised America's 250th anniversary celebration would be "great" and "unbelievable." Instead, we taxpayers are now being asked to bail

The Trump administration has announced it would end Medicare Part D subsidies at the end of 2026, raising healthcare costs on 11 million people, mostly seniors like my husband & me. In the meantime, this is a reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of our tax dollars on an

I’m so embarrassed & down right pissed that the bozo occupying the Oval Office has the entire world laughing at him, laughing at us. He alone has caused our allies AND our enemies to write off the USA as a big fat fucking joke - not to be trusted, admired or emulated. In fact, I dare say the

Trump is ordering the National Park Service to place warning signs outside the Smithsonian, claiming some exhibits present “inaccurate” American history. That’s a lie. This isn’t about correcting the record—it’s about controlling who gets to write it. It’s also known as “whitewashing” history to

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: SELF-ANOINTED “KING” HUMPTY-TRUMPTY IS THE WORST BUSINESSMAN IN AMERICA. NO, IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! 🇺🇸 Donald Trump: "From today, server control of all global social media apps (Instagram, YouTube, X) rests with the US. Any country that fails to pay the monthly 'digital rent' will

27%? You gotta be kidding. That seems really high given our country’s dire circumstances. What in hell has Humpty-Trumpty done to deserve anything more than 0%???

TEXAS POLITICS: Ken Paxton panics and refuses to answer multiple questions from reporters, forcing his handler to intervene: Q: James Talarico is calling you out for owning 15 homes on a government salary, can you respond? Paxton: *dodges question* Q: Will you answer a question about your

Oh, my! Spain cropped out the orange felon from their official celebratory photo. They understand the assignment. Now we need to crop the bastard out of our daily lives.

Why is the MAGA magical-thinking bubble machine so prevalent in today’s political landscape? Why do so many gullible simpletons believe the BS emanating from these bubble machines??

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA‼️ President Donald Trump said Sunday night he is sending the new Boeing 747 he solicited from Qatar & designated as Air Force One back for more modifications after being asked why it did not have missile defense features. “As I understand it, in about a month or so, they’re going

UPDATE: Beyond pathetic. Trump wouldn’t leave the podium during Spain’s World Cup trophy celebration until FIFA President Gianni Infantino pulled him away.

Oh, the sweet irony. Trump hates NATO. Trump hates the EU. Trump hates Spain. So, after getting booed loudly by 80,000 fans attending the World Cup finals game between Spain & Argentina today in NJ, he ends up having to hand the World Cup 2026 trophy to a bunch of brown-skinned,

The “High-T Department of War” Secretary Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News host, has frequently painted America’s armed services as a “warrior” class diminished under prior administrations. For instance, after a dangerously low flyover by the U.S. Navy in Florida on Wednesday, he wrote on X, “The

BREAKING: 2 US servicemembers dead, 1 missing in Trump’s never-ending Iran War. Neither this warmongering-dictator nor anyone in his ill-suited administration have a clue how to bring his idiotic Middle East folly to a close.
