Report any and every incident you encounter where your ballot or vote is tampered with. Report it to your local clerk that oversees the voting booths, the county board of elections and even your state attorney general office. Complaining online or venting to others doesn't prompt an investigation.

Golf is the lamest "sport". Wasting open space and water. Dumping tons of chemicals onto the land. Charging huge fees to use it. It's just a clubhouse for the elites to talk their dirty deals. Anyone that says they are good at golf needs to play in the natural environment full of trees and obstacles

Free market capitalism is just an illusion as if you have competition to choose from. They are all the same with setting prices and fees.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Why does the US military have a position called Private if nothing is private, not even morning wood?

NOT SATIRE The Pentagon’s new medical screening policy for male service members includes checking for a "loss of spontaneous morning erections" as a key symptom of low testosterone. www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

I love this. Finally an elected official is honest with the public unlike Whitman who headed the EPA back then during 9-11 and offers an empty apology now. Anyone effected and denied care should sue her personally.

For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored. That ends today. nyc.gov/sept11docs

The US military feeds them burgers, steak and shrimp with every meal? Servicemen are giving it 3 thumbs up 😛 Man is Donny bad at using AI to show fake food and fake soldiers with 11 finger to try the cover up for food shortages at th front lines.

Women make better leaders in government because they have empathy for those that receive benefit from public services. Men would steer public funds toward greed and cut public services to the bone except for first responders/military if they could. Stop making excuses to not vote women into office.

I get annoyed when the public and former elected officials complain their property tax bill went up. The budget is a living thing that is worked on by a team and presented to the public for comments and questions before it gets passed. Ask questions and offer ideas BEFORE it gets passed.

This is so true. In low voter turnout years Republicans do really well. The mid term elections need strong turnout if you want to see any reversal of current federal policy and help the middle and lower classes.

Private money in our elections is a huge problem. If we can't put limits on the donations and PAC spending why don't we make all spending by a PAC for a candidate's benefit taxable income to the candidate? Maybe avoiding a huge personal tax bill will have them asking the PAC to back out.

WTF got Tom Kean Jr so depressed? Republican majority in House? Republican majority in Senate? Republicans holding the executive branch? Republicans holding SCOTUS majority? Republican states gerrymandering for even more House seats? Overturning of federal limits on campaign donations?

A nation that's $33 trillion in debt and makes steep cuts to SNAP and Medicaid has no problem wasting money on the biggest fireworks show during a heatwave and drought conditions. And they say they have all the common sense. Please.

Sae toy story 5 has lessons in it. Don't let your kids grow up fast by letting tech take control over them. They should be outside playing, making REAL friends and developing their personalities. Again, not letting tech and social media shape them. Kids should value tangible things they own not rent

Just my opinion but Disclosure Day was a waste of my time and money to see. It could have been a 30 minute Twilight Zone episode instead of a drawn out film that ends with one word. Listen. Some good actors in it and the music was good.

Affordability is the issue so we should be pushing for higher wages for the middle and lower class since we can't control the major costs of living like housing, healthcare and food

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are not only weird—they miss the point. The reason people aren't having kids is simple: income inequality has become so extreme that Americans can barely afford housing and food, let alone raise kids.

I would tell Republicans to GET F*CKED but they are already doing it to themselves this year. From mad King taco Tuesdays to lying to Congress to replacing incompetence with even more incompetence to giving Melania her own airplane. You couldn't write fiction like this.

Supporters of AI say "If we don't let them build data centers here they will build them somewhere else". It is what we want, these things that consume our drinking water, drive up utility bills, make constant loud noise and give off emissions to be built far far away from our homes and farms.

How disgusting for our President to celebrate someone's death. It's not as if we can't see his Russian connections and sympathy. Ukraine war wages on for over 4 years and he hasn't ended it like he said he would.

Whoever this artist is, BRAVO!

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

The anonymous artists who have targeted President Trump with satirical statues and installations struck again with a statue of the president embracing Jeffrey Epstein in a replica of the famous “King of the World” scene from the movie “Titanic.”
