It would be interesting to hear him explain why those most experienced in the real world think not raising the minimum wage for a decade doesn’t have anything to do with folks living in poverty.

The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs β€” including nearly two million children.

The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.

Priorities.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

One excellent way to place Americans at greater risk of retaliation is to convince Iranians that America isn’t just attacking their countryβ€”we’re attacking their faith.

Pete Hegseth is smart that way.

The elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top. Why should circulation?

You’ll just have to pay more until the long term arrives.

It’s kinda like that β€œtrickle down” theory.

The Onion headline "Timothee Chalamet Under Fire for Dismissive Comments About Traditional Japanese Puppet Theater Form 'Bunraku'" was liked by Bernie Sanders.

Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile...

Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts.

And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets.

War is a racket.

And Putin Double Dutch Pinkie Swore that he had no Kompromat on Dear Donald.

So, that’s rock solid, too.

The sunset unfolds in layered bands of color above a dark Montana treeline, where the last light of day gathers quietly behind the forest. The foreground is a silhouette of conifersβ€”likely ponderosa pine and other high-country evergreensβ€”forming a jagged black horizon that cuts across the bottom of the sky. Their shapes are crisp and still, emphasizing the calm at the close of day.

Above the trees, the sun itself is already hidden below the horizon, but its presence lingers as a bright, molten glow burning through a gap in the forest. The light spills upward into low clouds that drape across the distant ridges. These clouds catch the fading sunlight and transform it into a broad wash of warm colorβ€”deep rose, magenta, and soft salmon tones spreading across the sky.

Higher up, the atmosphere cools dramatically. Horizontal bands of cloud shift from pink into lavender and violet, then finally into a broad canopy of soft blue-gray. The contrast between the warm lower sky and the cooler upper clouds gives the whole scene a layered depth, as if the evening is gradually folding itself closed.

A faint veil of cloud or mist appears along the distant ridgelines, blurring their outline and giving the mountains a ghostlike softness. It suggests colder air settling into the valleys and the quiet stillness that often follows sunset in the Montana high country.

Overall the scene feels tranquil and expansive: the last ember of daylight glowing beneath a sky painted in purples and pinks, while the dark forest stands motionless below, marking the moment when the day gives way to the long western twilight.
