Idaho committee begins process of awarding $186 million in rural health funding A committee of Republican Idaho legislators that is overseeing a $930 million, five-year federal grant intended to improve rural health care held its first meeting Wednesday at the Idaho State Capitol...

For every $1 Idaho sends to the federal government they get back $1.62. Idaho is a welfare state. They take and take and take and give back very little. I hope the next president kills this grant.

BENNET: Do you agree that 89% of children who died from flu were unvaccinated?

RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number

BENNET: That is the exact number, Secretary Kennedy

RFK Jr: *death growls*

BENNET: You took down the HHS communications promoting the flu vaccine. Do you regret that?

Pretty impressive range for an old man.

Illinois House Democrats push Bears stadium tax deal as Republicans seek property tax relief The plan would allow the charter NFL franchise to make special payments to taxing bodies in the northwest suburbs — known as Payment in Lieu of Taxes, or PILOT — rather than paying regular property ta...

Save Illinois taxpayers the headaches and just let the Bears keep pretending they are going to play in Indiana.

The Bears don’t want Indiana. They won’t go to Indiana. Dems and GOP need to ignore them altogether.

It will save the people of Illinois money.

Ford CEO Jim Farley Dailys a Chinese EV: "This Is Why I Didn't Choose a Tesla!" You would expect the CEO of Ford to drive a Ford, right? Well, not Jim Farley. He has been driving a Xiaomi SU7 and did not choose a Tesla for a reason

So the leader of a privately held US automaker can bring in an EV from China but the rest of us can’t?

The #Chicago Bears and the #NFL can fuck off. Illinois has too many important obligations and giving over a free billion plus dollars just to make billionaire ownership more money. Should be illegal. Go to Indiana. Better yet, go 75 miles away from Chicago.

American farmers bet on solar. Then Trump changed the rules. We tracked how the collapse of federal rural energy support is ending solar projects across farm country — and costing some developers millions they'll never get back.

American farmers have mostly voted conservative since the 1990’s. I have zero empathy. ZERO.

You helped build this house and watching you have to live in it before you get kicked out is really entertaining.

Canada's prime minister says economic ties with US are a weakness that must be corrected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada’s strong economic ties to the U.S. were once a strength but are now a weakness that must be corrected.

It’s staggering the level of distrust and disrespect that Trump’s silver spoon narcissism has spewed out to US enemies and allies around the world.

When “it” happens it will be a WORLDWIDE celebration unlike we have ever seen.

Dear #Canada,

Florida literally hates you (they have a ton of hate for most things). Please keep staying away. They don’t appreciate you or your values. Let them sink back into their swamps, mumbling MAGA garbage as the milky waters cover their mouths.

Excellent context for the endless right-wing invectives against the great city of Chicago

The #Texas #Restaurant #Association fully supports conservatives and is dismayed that 1/2 of all TX restaurants are now unprofitable.

You asked for conservative policy. You received conservative policy.

I truly hope they enjoy watching TX restaurants close like it’s a permanent covid lockdown.

I hate those pesky wide open green spaces where I can do anything from having a picnic to a game of catch or fly a kite or god forbid just sit somewhere enjoying the day without the need to buy something. It’s such a downer to city living. It’s horrible. And trees?!! Who likes trees? No one.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas blasts progressivism as threat to America He said that the values enshrined in the 1776 Declaration of Independence have “fallen out of favor” among Americans.

Justice Uncle Tom Thomas won’t be happy with America until Black folks are held in slavery again, women are stripped of their rights, and the robber barons control everything.

That’s his wet dream.
