Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation. And reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory."

"We must face the fact that California's coast—our homes, our infrastructure, our economy—is highly vulnerable to the rising tides of climate change. Waiting to act will mean watching our coastline be washed away." - Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (2008)
Cancer kills more than 600,000 Americans every year. Yet the Trump administration has taken dozens of actions that put more cancer-causing chemicals into our air and water. Congress has both the authority and the responsibility to protect the public from these attacks.
I believe the purpose of life is to be happy. Happiness is not guaranteed, we have to work for it. The most important way to do this is to cultivate concern for others. That’s how to take a wise approach to our natural self-interest.
Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.
🚨Watch how little it takes for a former California sergeant to decide a teenager on a quiet Idaho street needs a knee-on-neck response.
On June 30, 2024, in Meridian, Idaho, 16-year-old Parks Allen crashed his dirt bike on a residential street after doing a wheelie, hitting a mailbox and injuring his hand and foot. Paramedics took him to the hospital.
His brothers—Samson (then 21), Gannon (18), and a younger sibling—arrived, found the bike (neighbors had moved it), and loaded the 200–300 lb motorcycle into the bed of Samson’s pickup to take it home or to the hospital.
Meridian Police Officer Bradley Chambers pulled up and ordered them to unload the bike so he could inspect/photograph it for the crash investigation (“That’s not gonna work. Take it out of the truck”).
The brothers questioned the order, said it was their property, offered to let him photograph it in the bed, and refused to unload and reload the heavy bike.
About a minute into the interaction, Chambers ordered them back, approached Samson from behind, grabbed his arm while yelling “stop resisting,” swept his legs, and took him to the ground.
He then pressed a knee into Samson’s neck/upper back for nearly a minute while pointing a Taser at the others who were filming.
Samson was arrested and charged with resisting arrest and obstructing.
An internal Meridian PD review by the Office of Professional Standards later found the force was within department policy and the law ----- but officials acknowledged it was not best practice for de-escalation and that the knee-on-neck created a “chilling image.”
In May 2025 a jury convicted Samson of the misdemeanor charges. He received 3 months of unsupervised probation. An appeal was later upheld.
Officer background: Chambers previously served as a sergeant with the American Canyon Police Department in Napa County, California.
He joined Meridian PD around 2022.
Shortly after the incident (while the internal review was underway), he transferred to the Boise Police Department in September 2024.
He left Boise in January 2025 and returned to the Napa County Sheriff’s Office, which rehired him knowing of the Idaho case.
❓Why escalate to a takedown when the dirt bike was already secured and the injured rider was at the hospital?
❓Did the officer forget he was on a residential Idaho street and not on a California gang detail?
❓Was it actually a crime, failing to immediately obey an officer who wanted the bike out of the truck?
This is what Google's AI expansion looks like on the ground 🤬
Forests destroyed, topsoil stripped and brown runoff reportedly flowing into a local stream, all before environmental impact assessments were completed. Finnish authorities had to step in and order work to stop.
So much for Google's green credentials. Its sustainability advertising means very little when the reality is this. Corporate hypocrisy at its finest.
Dan Sullivan took nearly $300,000 from out-of-state corporate trawlers, destroying Alaska’s fisheries. Then Dan Sullivan wrote a bill to make sure those corporate trawlers can keep dragging their nets through Alaska waters.
DO NOT LEAVE THE VOTING BOOTH UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THE MACHINE REGISTERED YOUR 'DEMOCRAT' VOTE. Many people are reporting they voted DEMOCRAT and it clicked back to REPUBLICAN. A voter says it took 4 times before it stayed on DEMOCRAT. The fix is in! https://t.co/CWydzUFAMD
Calling on the media to investigate and report on voting machine irregularities in several states. Blue votes are being changed to red. Voters report having to press the button several times for the machine to display the blue candidate. Also, that printouts of their voted ballots do not match their choices. They are doing this in plain sight.
There is a very disturbing trend being seen in early voting. Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio are reporting difficulties getting the machines to accept democratic votes. The machines change them back to Republican unless the voter persists, pressing several times to get the correct vote to go through.
Check your machine, check to see that it accepted the correct vote. Make sure your voice counts.
🚨🚨BREAKING: Dolly Parton’s sister, Stella Parton, says a Tennessee voting machine repeatedly switched her selection to Republican Marsha Blackburn, forcing her to correct her ballot THREE TIMES before voting. She’s not alone. Other Tennessee voters have reported similar problems while attempting to vote for Democrats.
