Native-born labor force participation just hit its lowest August on record. Despite the admin's claims, deportations are not freeing up jobs for Americans — 600,000 native-born workers have left the labor force in the past year.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

Kingsbarn not only has Trump in his back pocket, but these are the same developers who earned unanimous board support despite vehement community disapproval to rezone Tustin Financial Plaza. I'm sure it’s just a coincidence, and Tustin officials aren't corrupt either. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Talarico: We are getting screwed. The billionaires buying politicians like Ken Paxton don't care who you are. They don't care about your politics. They only care about their profits. They see us as one opposing team — so we might as well start acting like one.

We're supposed to believe Cheaty McPutter shot a 70 and won TWO championships today??! 😂😂😂 In his "honor," here's CADDYSHACK starring Donald Trump.

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Andrew Tate’s Empire of Abuse is a very difficult read. It’s also a reminder that plenty of influential voices in the MAGA sphere weren’t indifferent, but instead advocated for the Tates’. Surprise surprise, that list includes people with the last name Trump. If you can stomach it, it's worth a read

Not sure if anyone's noticed, but democratic socialists aren't racking up primary wins because the base has suddenly embraced the tenets and ideology of Democratic Socialism. They're winning because leftist candidates are the only ones who understand the assignment: Defeat the enemy. Deliver goods.

Political polls rarely list corruption as a top issue, but it should be. From local officials tied to developers to state leaders influenced by PAC 💰, the incentives are broken. We need stronger ethics laws, transparency, and enforcement. Time to rid $ from politics www.tiktok.com/@lawyer.oyer...

Hey guys, guess what? The war with Iran has cost us $45 Billion, thus far. But that's okay because DOGE has saved us maybe 2 billion dollars. And I know Iran is an evil regime that has killed thousands of their own people. That unfortunately won't change (1/2)

Still, the impact of those DOGE cuts, according to a tracker by ImpactCounter, which uses modeling to track the effect of USAID cuts, is that an estimated 757,314 people had died from the funding cuts by January 2026, with the majority being children. Now, tell which regime is the greater evil?(2/2)

UCLA 21 - SC 10 Kiki Rice meets the moment at the buzzer. Finally hits the left side jumper she attempted earlier as the clock ticks down. UCLA takes an 11 pt lead in the 1st qtr by attacking the paint, grabbing 2nd chance pts, and making the paint a problem for SC offensively.

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy. This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis. 44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word. Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025. They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap. H/T: @BadFoxGraphics

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. https://ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3
