I miss my country and want it back from the evil ones that know what theyre doing and the gullible ones that simply have no clue. I used to feel like the old manfred mann chorus,"stranded in iowa," now i just want to save iowa.

The 2026 midterms are also a choice about Congress, healthcare, household costs, and government accountability. Candidates should explain what they will do for their constituents not simply ask voters to support or oppose one person.

America's fiscal outlook deserves an honest, bipartisan conversation. Rising interest costs and persistent deficits can limit future choices. Responsible budgeting should protect essential services, support sustainable growth, and explain clearly how today's decisions affect future generations.

Trump announced the biggest oil deal in history. ProPublica found secretive investors, a protected oligarch and a board built to outlast administrations. The oil belongs to Venezuela, the promises belong to America, and the fine print appears to belong to a rather exclusive gentlemen's club.

ProPublica@propublica.org

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

Fantastic news in our defense against Donald Trump's attacks on our Constitution and elections. Make no mistake: Trump won't stop trying to illegally seize power or deface our democracy. California will keep fighting back.

Good news: Maurene Comey is back at SDNY after a judge ruled her firing unlawful Who trusts a case if the prosecutor’s job hangs on pleasing the president? Rules keep the answer simple, & today they protected more than one person -TN

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

I saw his Truth Social post in a news article by Aaron Parnas and my first thought was "What the fuck is he talking about?" and just passed it off as more stupid shit from the orange pedo. Apparently it's now stuck in his rotting brain, recycling on repeat. He wishes he had that kind of power.

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

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.)
