How could drinking on the job possibly affect anyone's work performance 😬

Annual flu vaccine no longer required for U.S. military, Hegseth says The move alarmed some public health experts and legislators, who warned that it would weaken troop readiness.

Hegseth has eliminated the requirement for troops to receive the flu vaccine.

The flu is devastating to those in combat zones.

Half of the US casualties during WWI were due to influenza

The vaccine saves lives

Hegseth’s decision will kill people

still not over how we have confirmed proof via leaked documents that the SCOTUS shadow docket is a complete farce where the FedSoc justices get to unleash their unbridled political opinions and remake the American legal & economic system however they & their rich friends like

True. Legal weed here too.

Emails show Amazon colluding with other firms to raise prices, California authorities allege The previously redacted messages were unveiled as part of an antitrust battle with California attorney general Rob Bonta

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online

We are heading home from Toronto now. What a fun town! Very hospitable people! The owner of the gelato shop asked us “How’s your president?”
I answered “is he still alive?”
Everyone had a big big laugh 😂 about America

Sen. Warren: "Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?"
Handsome Kevin: "ummm... errr... "

His response raises real questions about whether Warsh is independent of the President and if he has the courage to tell hard truths.

The president is currently trying to steal 10 BILLION DOLLARS from the American people and it’s not the main news story in the country… not even close

How to Paint a Cat

Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption

I’m hearing reports of poll workers directing voters to the Republican ballot without mentioning the progressive one in Williamson County TN.

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli

Journalism ain’t what it used to be. The Fourth Estate abandoned its role in maintaining democracy

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

Trump just posted threatening to knock out every power plant and every bridge in Iran if they don’t take his deal. He called it “the Iran Killing Machine.” Targeting civilian infrastructure isn’t negotiation it’s a war crime threat, posted publicly on social media like it’s nothing.

It seems like a Prime Minister who continues to get his corruption trial delayed for years because his government is engaged in wars has a personal incentive to keep wars going as long as possible.

If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States.

Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay.

Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.
