The spirit of our dear departed Janey Godley is in Doonbeg, Co Clare, Ireland today.

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?

Perfected? They lost the federal trifecta in the last election; I think there’s still room for tweaks.

The legacy media in the U.S. is so corrupt that the disappearance of a U.S. senator is completely ignored. Mitch McConnell hasn't been seen in person in 76 days, and not a single corporate media investigative journalist has even raised an eyebrow.

Shapiro: When he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, making $2.2 billion off his corruption for him and his kids, it costs you money. When he sits behind that desk, he’s not thinking about how to put money in your pocket. He’s thinking about how to put money in his own pocket.

Your regular reminder that if not for the Trump and Bush tax cuts, federal revenues would keep pace with federal spending indefinitely. Instead, these tax cuts have added at least $10 trillion to the debt. The so called "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.

Thank you for everything. 💚💚💚 Tomorrow, there will be more of us.

NEW: Judge Sullivan spent the final 30 minutes of the Phang v Blanche Epstein files hearing telling a story of the one time he had to hold DOJ lawyers in contempt. He says he's done it before, and he'd rather not do it again, but he will if he needs to. "It's not a threat, it's a promise."

The entire Epstein regime needs to be removed and thrown in prison where they belong.

Joe Biden had a bad debate in 2024. Hundreds of news stories about it. Trump has had hundreds of bank accounts closed due to evidence of money laundering. Nary a peep. Why?

So why isn't Fox news televising interviews of all the happy people who live near data centers so we can hear what a treat it is to live with the constant noise, lights, increased utility costs and non-existent new jobs?

RFK told Dana Bash that Lyme disease “almost certainly” came from gain of function research. Which is utterly false. www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...

The best measure of how America is doing isn’t the stock market, or GDP growth. It’s how well most Americans are living — and right now most are struggling.
