SHAME: Mike Collins says seniors need to “get off Social Security [and] get back into the workforce” After Trump sabotaged Social Security by effectively building a wall of red tape between seniors and their earned benefits, NOW REPUBLICANS WANT YOU TO WORK UNTIL YOU DIE.

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

The Houthis only knew to target Saudi Arabia's pipeline, which bypasses the Strait of Hormuz, because Donald Trump and his pointless war taught them how important the Strait of Hormuz is for getting leverage over the United States. Donald is smart that way.

THIS COULD SEND OIL PRICES THROUGH THE ROOF Hormuz is already crippled. Saudi Arabia just shut a major pipeline after drone strikes. Now the Houthis are threatening Bab el-Mandeb, the other major oil chokepoint. If that strait gets choked off too, $100 oil is the bottom, not the ceiling.

Posterity will regard Tяump as an unfit clinical narcissist, but it will be scathing on those members of Congress who sat on their hands while they watch Tяump inflict extreme damage on their country. And the world. Damage that will take a generation to repair.

Don't let this fly under the radar: Trump has reportedly made between $1.5M to $4.4M from his oil stockholdings since the start of his Iran War. As gas prices skyrocket, he is personally profiting from your pain at the pump. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/09/trump-oil-gas-holdings-iran-war.html

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, it is refreshing to see the latest technology being used to help us through a difficult time, rather than mining our personal data to annoy us, steal our identities, rip us off, and interfere with our elections.

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

📌All the bigots asking why the mayor of New York City is presiding over the remembrance of the 9/11 attacks, need to shut up and explain to us why they support the traitor who attacked us Jan. 6.

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

Garcia: There’s a group of Jeffrey Epstein’s survivors that are here in Dallas. And the survivors are saying that they are also disgusted that Todd Blanche is out there giving speeches while refusing criminal convictions, while refusing to release the rest of the files.
