On the railroad tracks get out immediately, call the number on the blue sign located on the post and read off the crossing ID number. This number goes directly to the train dispatcher. That is the FASTEST way to have the train stopped

BREAKING: GENIUS! Sen. Chris Van Hollen suggests restoring Affordable Care Act subsidies by gutting ICE’s bloated $200 billion in funding.

Two birds, one stone…

“We need to respond to the economic pain people are feeling. And that means a commitment, for example, to immediately pass legislation to make sure that none of us pay one dime, not one in higher electric costs, to build data centers for the richest AI companies on the planet,” Van Hollen said on “Pod Save America.”

“It means dealing with healthcare,” he continued. “And I mean, yes, of course, we need to reverse the damage the Trump administration has done with respect to their cuts to Medicaid. And by the way, we should claw back the approximately $200 billion in ICE funding that they banked last time.”

He also called for restoring the ACA subsidies that Republicans refused to extend in 2025.

We can’t think of a more elegant solution to this. Democrats are determined to undo Trump’s healthcare cuts and stem the deluge of financial stress, suffering, and death that those cuts are inflicting on the American people.

At the same time, we must abolish ICE. It’s a rogue paramilitary organization whose masked agents are terrorizing and murdering people in the streets. They’re trampling civil liberties and their detention centers are rife with sexual abuse. The last thing they deserve is another dollar of funding from taxpayers. That money should go towards saving lives, not ending them.

“But on healthcare, we need to go beyond that. We need to make sure that we deal with the system where premiums are going up and co-pays are going up and up and up,” added Van Hollen. “I ultimately believe we need to get to Medicare for All, but we certainly need to begin moving toward a public option. And finally, political corruption, because if you look at the results, it was interesting. If you look at what was on people's mind, number one was the economy and costs, but protecting our democracy was right up there. And these things are connected.”

There are growing calls among the Democratic base for Van Hollen to contest Chuck Schumer for the Senate Majority Leadership to empower a more progressive voice after the blue tsunami.

What do you think?

Please ❤️ and share if you’re a proud supporter of Chris Van Hollen!

A week after voters punished them on affordability, Trump's USDA proposed cutting 6.3 million people off SNAP and taking free school lunch from nearly 1.8 million kids. Their own numbers.

They heard the country. They just don't care.

Tim O’Hare, the Texas judge that closed 92 polling stations in Tarrant County, Texas to help give republicans an advantage is out. Voters gave him the boot and replaced him with a black woman. Gotta love that sweet justice.

To guard this Tomb, you must volunteer.

Then memorize 7 pages of history, word for word. Learn nearly 300 graves. Train for months, much of it at night on this plaza.

By 2025, only 732 had earned the badge.

The watch hasn't stopped since 1937.

Walmart and Kroger are quietly rolling out an internal store technology across America that could either modernize retail or bankrupt the middle-class family budget.

Starting across thousands of locations heading into 2027, traditional paper price tags are being ripped off grocery shelves and replaced with cloud-connected digital screens. Raise the price of bottled water by 20 percent the second the afternoon temperature hits 90 degrees. Surge the cost of ground beef, milk, and sandwich bread between 5 PM and 6 PM when exhausted commuters are rushing home from work. Drop prices at 10 AM on a Tuesday, then hike them right back up the minute the after-school crowd walks through the sliding doors.

Every price change happens wirelessly in seconds from a central corporate dashboard. No store employee has to touch a single shelf.

Walmart has already signed a massive deployment deal with VusionGroup to wire 2,300 American supercenters with EdgeSense digital shelf rails by 2027. Kroger is expanding its own Microsoft-backed system called EDGE across hundreds of supermarkets. Over 60 million digital price tags are already blinking on US grocery aisles right now.

This is not supply chain inflation. This is Uber-style surge pricing built directly into the shelves where Americans buy baby formula, eggs, and medicine.

Last week I sat down for coffee with a former retail pricing director who spent 14 years building supermarket margin algorithms before leaving the industry. What he shared over the table completely changed how I look at a grocery aisle.

"Retailers just turned static shelves into live stock tickers. The question is not whether grocery chains will use instant price changes, because they already spent billions installing the hardware. The question is how much extra money a family of four will lose every week simply because both parents work until 5 PM and cannot shop during off-peak hours."

Here is how the digital grocery pricing system actually works, how it tracks you in the aisle, and the exact phone settings and checkout playbook you need to beat it.

This is huge.

A sitting member of Congress is now saying, on the record, that Epstein’s entire trafficking operation depended on billionaire money — and that Les Wexner was central to it.

No island. No planes. No network. No trafficking — without elite financing.

Follow the money. Expose the cover-up.
No more protection for billionaires.

Republicans have introduced a federal ‘catch kit’ bill that would require women to sift thru their blood to separate pregnancy remains from “other solid waste,” put it in a “brightly colored” bag labeled “HUMAN FETAL REMAINS,” and bring their doc.

NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers.

30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.

Ten women reported the same man at Cornell. TEN. And nothing was done to stop him. Then people turn around and ask why women don't report. Maybe start asking why nobody listens when they do.
