BREAKING: AOC just filed her financial disclosure—and it shows she’s still got under $66K in the bank and up to $50K in student debt. No secret stocks. No shadow income. No sudden “book deal” miracle. For once, a member of Congress is broke like the rest of us.

For the second time this week, Trump prosecutors disprove the old claim that it’s so easy for prosecutors to get a grand jury to indict someone on a felony charge that they can literally “indict a ham sandwich.” nytimes.com/2025/08/27/us/…

It started with Andrew Wakefield claiming a link between autism and vaccines in 1998 It's ending with the health secretary of the United States going to declare vaccines as the cause of autism One big problem It's not true

Guns are a uniquely American problem. The rest of the world has mental health issues. The rest of the world has ideological & philosophical division. They have social media, pot, porn, cellphones & video games. What they don’t have — is more guns than people, they don’t have

We can kid about Trump, but it’s no joking matter. He and his cronies, aided and abetted by the Supreme Court, are turning America into a fascist, authoritarian state. The Republicans need to stop putting party over country and recognize the danger.

Acyn Only in America would a mass shooting be followed by a defence of guns and gun ownership. I’m surprised that the recommendation isn’t for children to be taught tactical firearm skills, and gun wound triage. America is the only country where children in schools have to practice

Acyn But they are shootings. A gun seems pretty essential to death by shooting.

Brian Allen I found this for you on Linkedin: Excerpts from The Times of London. Someone asked, "Why don't some Britons like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an eloquent and witty English writer, wrote this magnificent response: Trump lacks certain qualities that the British traditionally value.

629 missiles and drones in a single night over Ukraine: this is Russia’s idea of peace. Terror and barbarism. More than a dozen dead, including children. Residential areas and civilian infrastructures deliberately targeted. The offices of the European Union Delegation

🚨 If you think “Trump 2028” is a joke, think again. Gavin Newsom just confirmed he personally received the merch, mailed by a top Trump ally, warning him to get ready. That’s not trolling. That’s a signal. They’re laying the groundwork for a third term. We better act like it.

Not long ago, I would have said there’s no way in hell that this could happen in America, but that was then and this is now. So, here’s the scenario that could unfold:

— Trump sends troops (so glad I’m retired) into cities where Democrats are in charge on the pretext that crimes is out of control and he’s restoring order. That it’s a pretext is clear from the fact that crime rates are higher in many red areas and he’s not sending troops there.

— Inevitably there will be an incident involving the troops (if not one will be staged) and that will be used as a pretext to declare martial law. — Trump will assert his power under martial law to suspend civilian authority and take charge of Democratic run cities (or states).

— Trump will declare a national emergency and suspend the 2026 elections. — Normally Congress and the courts would assert their checks and balances authorities under the Constitution and intervene, but both are now subservient to Trump.

— The national emergency continues into 2028, so elections remain suspended. — Trump begins his third term. — A majority of Americans hope and pray that a clot does what Congress and the courts won’t and stops Trump while some semblance of America remains.

Moe Davis (U.S. Air Force, Retired) Agreed and I am Canadian. Dictators don’t have elections, that is a simple fact! I have been seeing this for some time. Thank you for speaking about it!

Moe Davis (U.S. Air Force, Retired) Paige Ex GOP 🌻🇺🇸🦅 He obviously has no plans to leave, just as he didn’t when he lost the first time. And as everyone knows for we’ve already lived it, he will do anything to stay for he doesn’t believe in elections.

Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority. This seat had been in Republican hands for 13 years. When we are organized and support strong candidates who are focused on the issues
