Trump trying to "pardon" Tina Peters on state convictions is one of the stupidest things he could do. No way the Governor of Colorado will release her and possibly set a precedent that the Fuhrer can pardon state convictions.

Strange how trump is so concerned about Iran killing protesters, when he has indicated his own desire to do just that here.

The White House is threatening Iran if they kill protesters. It's funny how that works when felon47 wants to shoot protesters here

Tell Congress: Demand Speaker Johnson hold a vote IMMEDIATELY on the ACA tax credit extension Contact Congress today!

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support.

Let's get loud as hell, folks, and make sure every member of Congress knows where we stand:

Don't Let Black Ice Sneak up On You. It can form on any road, but also along curbs and drainage areas due to melting snow. More prevalent at night, but can still be around in the morning. Don't drive during freezing temperatures after rain or snowmelt.

Don't Let Black Ice Sneak up On You. It can form on any road, but also along curbs and drainage areas due to melting snow. More prevalent at night, but can still be around in the morning. Don't drive during freezing temperatures after rain or snowmelt.

Just a thin layer of ice on roadways is enough to make driving hazardous⚠️

Bridges and overpasses are especially prone to ice formation that is difficult to see, as winds beneath the structures accelerate cooling and maintain lower surface temperatures.

Remember -- Ice or snow take it slow!

Hoomom here. This photo of Kayla was posted yesterday shortly after she ate tree flocking. She's fine. Vomited it up. We found it funny but shame on us. Per Google-"Tree flocking is bad for cats because it can be toxic if ingested & cause intestinal blocks". Just beware. Flock is a no no 🩷

Also can we talk about how thirsty it is for Speaker Johnson to be wearing Trump-Vance campaign gear around Tennessee today? In November 2025?

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Meet the anti-vaccine activist who could lead the response to the next pandemic Former firefighter John Knox's ties to RFK Jr. have landed him atop the agency that helped bring Covid-19 under control. People in the know are worried.

1/3 John Knox, anti-vaccine activist, is now acting head of ASPR -- the agency that handles pandemic response.

He’s called COVID vaccine campaigns “nothing other than genocide.” 😶

Not exactly reassuring...

FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program.

Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor.

She thinks your too dumb to remember

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

The Senate voted 50–46 tonight to block Trump’s tariffs on Canada, and yesterday it voted to block his tariffs on Brazil. Now we need the house to vote. Where’s the House? Is Johnson still guarding the Epstein files?
