THOU SHALT NOT CALL WOMEN ‘PIGGY’! Never. Not once. Not even in a dream. Every decent human being knows this.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for 6 years for. I gave him my loyalty for free. I've never owed him anything. Let me tell you what a traitor is -- a traitor is an American that serves foreign countries."

NEW: Chicago must borrow $283.3M to cover the soaring cost of lawsuits alleging CPD officers committed a wide range of misconduct as part of the city’s 2026 budget, Mayor Brandon Johnson said, calling the move "prudent." @wttw.bsky.social

“You are our president. Please start acting like it. Show some class. Show some real leadership. Show that you actually care about the people other than yourself. I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment.”

Listen… Mike Johnson can claim he never tried to stop this, but the timeline tells the truth. If he wasn’t trying to bury this petition, we wouldn’t have spent weeks begging him to do the bare minimum. Release the files.

Retailers, banks and employers could collectively lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year due to uncertainty and a lack of government coordination around the elimination of the one-cent coin.

BREAKING: Epstein vote in the US House tomorrow (Tuesday) at 1:30 PM EST.

I can usually translate him, but either I’m losing my mind, or he is.

Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.” Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

Miss me with this instant forgiveness of Marjorie Taylor Greene. She’s no hero. She’s Christoph Waltz at the end of Inglorious Basterds.

LOL. Why does he need to sign a bill to release the files when he can just RELEASE THE FILES?

I know I shouldn't swear, it is not professorial or polite, but fucking hell this administration is beyond evil. Paul Bojerski spent 7 decades here in the US, worked as an optician, and now, at the age of 79, he has been kidnapped & placed in a US concentration camp where his health is at risk.

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.

First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

Underneath an #AutumnBlaze #RedMaple #PNW #FallColor #Leaves #Photography A couple of weeks ago I stood under this gorgeous tree at 3pm to get shots lit by the sun. A guy walked by and kind of stared at me with my iPhone over my head, turning in circles but I got some gorgeous color! #OrangeSun

Last month he was a soybean farmer, this month he’s an expert on intercontinental cattle drives.

Bless the Epstein survivors for speaking out! Justice! NOW!

Powerful.

So they are just going to keep announcing fake trade deals with China every few months

If this is surprising to you, wait until I tell you about the christian nationalist Heritage Foundation that wrote Project 2025 with the specific goal of making and keeping America "white." And their members have been infiltrating the US government since the late 70s by holding positions of power...
