State Farm Discount Double Check TV Commercial Feat. Kerry Wood, Andre Dawson Kerry Wood thanks a State Farm agent for getting him better car insurance, and then shows him how he likes to look for things that people left behind in the Ivy wall. To their surprise, they find And...

Happy today to see one of my #Cubs heroes Andre Dawson at least partly get his wish - the baseball HOF agreed to recast his memorial plaque without the Expos logo. They're still not adding the Cubs logo though. www.ispot.tv/ad/7Vzj/stat...

it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

Blundering Forward, Trump Style Trump’s big policy mistakes follow a familiar pattern, and we should expect the same with the war in Iran.

Many of the biggest policy decisions of Donald Trump’s second term follow the same script: move fast, ignore the experts, break things, then spin the disastrous outcome as a victory. From DOGE to tariffs to the ICE surge in Minneapolis, the pattern keeps repeating. The war in Iran is next.

Anyone I run across who talks about culture wars and is very political, I always ignore, because experiences. These people seem to view gov't as a magic wand to wave and punish the bad people, and when they get power they not only don't know what to do but they mess important things up.

Millionaires stopped paying into Social Security for the rest of 2026 today.

Billionaires stopped paying in on January 1st.

You're going to pay in for 298 more days.

This makes zero sense. The wealthy should pay in all year like the rest of us.

Scrap the cap.

It seems like this is true for a lot of goods, not just food. If a model of car isn't selling well, the dealers and manufacturer will try several things - auctioning them, storing them, moving them around - but if all else fails, they'll stick them in the crusher, just to protect the inflated price.

I don't totally blame Harris for losing, but otherwise πŸ‘‡ πŸ’―. Elections aren't purity tests. You need a candidate that appeals to a broad part of America. If we want Trump out and Trumpism in retreat, gotta remember this.

I woke up a bit past 3 AM to some pretty good hail outside which lasted for a few minutes, but still here and just fine. Some folks aren't able to say the same.

Well, some people believe and follow is the point there. But I think we both think he ran for office to stay out of prison, and as his time winds down he's going to get more desperate.

For Lent I've been trying to eat a little cleaner. Not so much processed or "junk" food, no soda or sweets. I admit on the weekends (both days) I will let go. But I've been noticing recurring dizziness, headaches, brain "fog"... it's not been pleasant.

Trump directs government to cease using Anthropic's technology after Pentagon standoff Trump demands government stop using Anthropic's AI technology.

Trump melts down at Anthropic (makers of Claude AI) because (per Anthropic) the company wants and isn't receiving assurances that Claude won't be used for mass surveillance or for making autonomous weapons. finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-d...

Only a fraction of House seats are competitive. Redistricting is driving that lower Primary voters in a small number of districts play an outsized role in deciding who wins Congress. The Trump-initiated mid-decade redistricting is driving that number of competitive seats even lower.

A "John Barron" sounding exactly like Trump called into C-SPAN, ranting against SCOTUS's tariff ruling and attacking Hakeem Jeffries.

In tariff case, Supreme Court justices bicker over treating Trump and Biden differently Supreme Court justices fought in their opinions in Donald Trump's tariffs case over whether they are treating Joe Biden and Trump equally.

The Roberts Court clearly does play politics in its decisions, as this article points out. Small wonder so many Americans no longer trust it. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Poll: As the 2026 midterm elections approach, just 23% of Americans are confident the vote will not be 'rigged' Trump says he wants Republicans to "take over the voting" and "nationalize" November's elections. A new Yahoo/YouGov survey shows that 59% of U.S. adults oppose that idea.

Thanks, Donald. Your childish refusal to believe you lost in 2020 has hugely damaged America's trust in elections. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
