The 2025 birth rate data is out, and the "demographic crisis" pundits are officially crashing out. But...the decline is largely driven by a massive drop in teen pregnancy. Since when was "fewer teenagers having babies" a bad thing?

Neighbors have put mattresses and plexiglass up in their windows to block the noise from this data center in Virginia.
It's a high pitched whine from the natural gas turbines that power it.
The noise never stops 24/7.

Lauren Boebert knew the Medicaid cuts she voted for would hurt people in Colorado's 4th District. When a fellow congressman warned about the damage, she responded "you're not wrong." Then she voted yes anyway.

That vote cut hundreds of billions from Medicaid to help pay for tax breaks for the wealthy. And now nearly a quarter of Colorado's rural hospitals are at risk of closing.

Our district deserves a representative who actually fights for us. That is why I am running.

A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.

Donald Trump won’t let it open.

Here is why.

The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.

Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.

He called Trump.

Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.

Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.

Canada paid for the entire bridge.

Every dollar. And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.

This is corruption in plain sight.

A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.

Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.

Kratom is a plant from Asia that hits the same brain receptors as opioids. People take it for energy or pain. It can be addictive and it can kill.

People buy it at gas stations, with no age check and no honest label.

Markwayne Mullin owns up to a million dollars in a kratom company. Then he stood at an FDA podium and pushed rules to crush that company’s rivals. He never sold the stock.

The company was founded by a felon who stole $10 million and did prison time. His kratom shots are tied to liver damage, seizures, and death. The stuff showed up in 5,200 overdose deaths in five years. A 27 year old grad student took it for six weeks and died. His mother says a real ban would have saved him.

You cannot make this up. The same company paid a Trump connected lobbyist $600,000.

Then the payoff. The Justice Department dropped its lawsuit. The FDA scrubbed the warnings off its website. RFK Jr. called Ohio’s governor to kill a state ban. And the company wired a million dollars to a PAC tied to Kennedy.

This is the swamp they swore to drain. It is worse than ever before.

Mike Johnson just told you the quiet part out loud: Republicans have a plan to gut Social Security next year.

They’re waiting until after the midterms so you can’t vote against it.

Make this the only issue that matters in November. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

@NickKnudsenUS This wasn't a private conversation. Johnson spoke into a public interview and admitted Republicans want to cut Social Security. He thought voters wouldn't notice. We noticed. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

@NickKnudsenUS It was always just a matter of time with this administration. Rather than making the obscenely rich and cash fat corporations pay their fair share, they're going to take from the least of us. STOP THEM! SHARE THIS!! VOTE THEM OUT!

@WordsMa30048486 @FoxUSNews How many private-practice attorney hours will $634,000 buy?
Not many!
When it comes to paying for some things--like legal services and healthcare--only the rich can afford to buy whatever they need without help.

I am not ok.
I am not doing good at all.
My beautiful country is being systematically destroyed by a very obvious criminal and we all are fighting each other over it.
People are dying because of their smile, their color, their being poor, their being born female and this shit is getting worse.
Police out of control and becoming judge, jury and executioner all at once and innocent lives are lost for it and NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT!
America is going bankrupt by a six time bankrupting murdering pedo and NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT
Our own constitutional rights are being trampled on AND
NOTHING
IS
BEING
DONE
ABOUT
IT

Land bordering Yosemite, Sequoia, and Pinnacles National Parks — now cleared for oil rigs and fracking. YES fracking!

Two hundred thousand people said NO. The federal government did it anyway.

Over 1 million acres of California public land just got opened up - land that touches ancient sequoia groves older than the country itself and sits right in Yosemite’s backyard.

Patagonia's CEO came out swinging, accusing the administration of putting oil profits over the planet's health and saying public land was never meant to be sold off to drilling companies.

And the man who'll make the final call? He was recently confirmed to run BLM after his own state party called him "an outright enemy of public lands."

Who's going to tell a tree older than the country that its time is up?
