I’m old enough to remember when Republicans were losing their minds that a Muslim was being elected to head NYC just 25 years after 9/11. Now they are literally handing nuclear secrets and technology to the country that raised the attackers because Trump’s family is bought and paid for by the Saudi Royal family. This corruption is beyond measure and the Republican Congress is screaming about “communists” and threatening Cuba.
Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism?
AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care.
So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.
So let me get this straight. Taylor Farms lettuce gets linked to the cyclospora outbreak. The CEO visits the White House and donates to Trump. Then the FDA says the positive finding was a “false positive.”
Nothing suspicious about that at all.
Do you understand what’s going on.
They’ll continue to protect this sick fuck from investigation. They’ll continue to hire whoever comes off the street and pledges loyalty to the admin and the hateful rhetoric they espouse. These fuckers are, truly, the worst of our country.
Ossoff demolishes Hegseth -- then Hegseth has an epic crashout
Sen. Jon Ossoff used Hegseth's premature declarations of victory against him during his Senate testimony, repeatedly reading back statements Hegseth made in March and April about Iran's military being "destroyed" and "obliterated" and asking him if he stands by them.
After Hegseth spent five minutes dodging, Ossoff concluded by noting that "you will not answer whether your statement made on the 14th day of the war that Iran's military was 'destroyed and made combat ineffective' was a truthful statement to the American people as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more."
A reeling Hegseth then crashed out in response to a similar line of questioning from Sen. Gary Peters, snapping at him that "you have Trump derangement syndrome!"
Peters replied to Hegseth that "you, sir, are the failure," as Susan Collins brought the hearing to an abrupt close.
Here's all of Ossoff's questioning followed by Hegseth's tantrum:
Pat McAfee fired shots at Ryan Clark long before ESPN fired Clark.
Clark made a comment that kickers like McAfee are not "real" football players.
McAfee responded.
A college student just killed the biggest advantage politicians have ever had. The gap between the lie and the fact-check.
He built a Chrome extension called InTruth. It listens to any live speech, debate, or interview.
Transcribes every word. And checks every claim against real sources in real time. Before the speaker even finishes the sentence.
It works on debates. Press conferences. Town halls. Interviews. Anything with someone talking on video. The fact-check shows up on your screen while they're still talking.
Until now, fact-checking happened hours or days later. By then the clip has been shared, the headline has been written, and the damage is done. Nobody reads the correction.
InTruth closes that gap to seconds. The claim and the fact-check exist in the same moment.
A college student, a Chrome extension, and an AI model just did what entire newsrooms couldn't figure out for decades.
So let me get this straight:
The guy who made the least, Joe Biden, had every accusation, investigation, and smear imaginable thrown at him.
Meanwhile, the guy raking in money hand over fist gets a complete pass from the same press corps?
Do I have that right?
He purchased an ice cream truck not for profit, but to create a brighter future for his children.
In Cincinnati, Ohio, Joel Wegener, a father of ten, sought meaningful employment, self confidence, and independence for his two adult children with Down syndrome.
In 2021, he acquired an ice cream truck and launched Special Neat Treats, a family operated venture rooted in love, purpose, and community connection.
His children actively participate by serving customers at neighborhoods, schools, and local gatherings, gaining valuable work experience while spreading happiness to those they encounter.
Yet this initiative extends far beyond ice cream.
It represents dignity. It represents opportunity. It represents the belief that every individual deserves the chance to thrive. Customers arrive seeking treats, but they depart with something far more meaningful: the inspiring message that love can create more than a business.
It can build a promising future, one scoop at a time.
@charlieo_conn@mark_kremer While he is struggling at the plate this year, Bohm is a .272 lifetime hitter who had back-to-back seasons with 97 RBI. The Phillies also do him a disservice by constantly batting him fourth in the lineup.
Trump claimed his tariffs would bring about a golden age of American manufacturing.
Yet since his re-election, we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs. Over the same period, Biden had created 625,000.
Astonishing act of cheating by Argentines. As Spanish player is hurtled 360 degrees through the air, Argentinian player bottom left feigns injury to deflect, with Messi pointing to him. Clearly a rehearsed ploy. Deliberate and nasty.
Trump's $4 billion Presidential windfall is unprecedented in scale & source.
Obama's wealth grew from royalties on books written before office — and Bush's mostly from a sports‑team stake from over a decade prior.
Most of Trump's new billions are from deals made in office.
