“Chaos tax” is pretty good

Gov. Shapiro delivers a blistering assessment of Trump's Iran war: “He had no idea why he was going in. Never made the case to the American people.” Shapiro points to 21 American families who have lost loved ones, skyrocketing fuel costs, and a $3,100 “CHAOS TAX” hitting Pennsylvania households.

I believe in government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Mike Rogers believes in government of the billionaires, by the corporations, and for the special interests.

Jon Husted voted against the release of the Epstein files just weeks after receiving a maximum campaign contribution from an Epstein co-conspirator. Ohioans deserve strong leaders in Washington, not pedophile protectors.

Dan Sullivan is trying to sell Alaska to the highest bidder. He wants to bring in data centers that will drive up energy prices while his family business profits. Alaskans already can’t afford to heat their homes this winter. We can’t afford more of his self-serving agenda.

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

Wonder if they’ll be mad about Trump saying he doesn’t give a damn about us getting gouged at the pump because he’s making trillions or that data centers are great because of the profits for the wealthy.

The recent Starlink / Starshield incident in Ukraine has created a dangerous precedence for the US export industry, many haven't yet grasped. The sudden deactivation respectively curtailing of those systems without warning not only cost precious lives, but also equipment worth millions.

Our foreign service is supposed to transcend admins. That's why we have career officials to maintain the continuity of American diplomacy regardless of who is in the White House. The State Dept's reported move to withhold promotions from applicants who didn't vote for Trump only makes us less safe.

Rep. Jamie Raskin on what Democrats will do FIRST if they take back Congress: “First you got to put out the fire that's still going. People are still in danger.” “Millions of people have been thrown off of their health care, their Medicaid, their ACA tax credits. We got to restore all of that.”
