DOJ has charged former FBI Director James Comey with a federal felony. He has asked the Trump- appointed judge overseeing the case to unseal the charge. He has also turned down a grand jury to head straight to court, as well as filed for dismissal. Trump sure does hold grudges, doesn’t he?

Anything rather than talk about oil and gas prices.

I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

They’re starting at the border but they won’t end there. Why do you think the GOP is supporting so very many AI data centers? Surveillance is key in autocracies. Trump’s ‘Smart Wall’ of A.I. Cameras Is Watching the Border, and More Than a Million People www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas. But on November 3rd, we’ll deliver a clear message to the world’s first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale.

One half of Idaho’s 44 counties no longer have a practicing obstetrician. No surprise here. It is no longer safe to have a baby in Idaho. Politicians need to keep their nose out of medicine. Period.

California is scaring them. Good. Let them all move down to Texas and they can enjoy the weather there.

This is capitalist propaganda. Billionaires don't care about employees; they care about profits. Which is why they are far more likely to use cash on hand to buy back stock than hire more employees or give the employees already there a raise. This is just "Trickle Down Economics" in corporate drag.

Good for him. The hubris. Looks like Trump, Putin and Ci aren’t hiding the plan any more. Divy up the planet into three areas, then exploit the hell out of them.

Zelenskyy says he will not honor peace decisions made between US and Russia that don’t include input from Ukraine. Do you agree with his stance?

So much for no more forever wars. The GOP wants permanent warfare to feed the beast. Thats why we can’t have what Scandinavian citizens do.

Exactly. There is no there. JD Vance is a chameleon for money and power.

This regime is wearing their desperation like a dirty trench coat. They’re flinging court orders up in the air all over the place. Where’s the first judge who’ll be the first to throw a DOJ attorney into the court jail for it? Any takers?!?
