Product of Louisiana public education, yet progressive and pro science. I’m also big into cryptography and decided Bitcoin was freedom tech in 2012. It remains a good idea.

This was slimy Vivek telling a Republican voter before the Iowa caucus how she needed to vote for him because that was the only way to save Trump’s life.

Straight up treasonous. He knows damn well Russia helped Iran destroy our bases and kill Americans in February.

Flanagan on tariffs hurting farmers: "It is ridiculous to somehow say that the whims of one man are not responsible for this, and Congress being unwilling to do their job. Donald Trump, who has endorsed Michele Tafoya, is responsible for this uneven playing field."

This is a concerted effort to bankrupt these programs. All insurance depends on health participants.

RFK Jr announces a new initiative to kick people off their healthcare coverage but insists it's no big deal because "they don't even know they were enrolled in anything. They never make a claim."

JD Vance running around the country saying he’s fighting health care fraud while his nominee for the senate in TX who he completely supports is partying in Dubai with a guy whole stole over $300 million in health care fraud and gave Paxton $190,000. This is the Republican Party.

Absolute ghouls, these ICE assholes are. I believe we need comprehensive prosecution for crimes against humanity in two years when Trump’s reign comes to a close.

The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2026 is Navi Pillay, a brave extraordinary woman who has served at the International Criminal Court prosecuting genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Immediately after being notified she had won, she mocked the orange felon on video. Love her. 💙👊

I grew up trying hard to mimic the best pinacolada daiquiri recipe in the New Orleans area. I finally cracked the code. My wife and I have enjoyed half a dozen tonight. Who knew coconut frozen treats went so well with hot Indian food? It really does!

NEW: As Colorado’s Tina Peters reportedly meets with President Trump to discuss an election “plan,” her attorney says the plan involves seizing ballots nationwide and discusses strategy for a potential civil war

DeNiro flashes the perfect amount of anger about assholes that think they can run over the US Constitution. Great practice for mass pushback.

Another secret Paxton recording, and this time he’s admitting he doesn’t even control his own campaign. “I don’t control the message or what we’re doing.” “I’ve never been in a race where I felt less control over the campaign. It’s all coming, you know, from DC.” www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

I believe every American should have to spend a week in India. Also, every American should be required to bike to work for a couple of weeks. We’d be a more grateful, thoughtful and efficient nation if we did these two things.

I told you Trump is stealing the money. Not a dime has gone into the Treasury. This is an excellent line if questioning.
