Weird that the maga idiots never have anything to say about cuts like this.

Waiting for some rightard to come in and claim the reason as there is far less corruption since Trump took office. That would give me the best laugh I've had all month.

I'm sure this won't be a popular opinion.. Anyone who fought to defeat slavery and fascism before and during WWII... Those are my military heroes.

With all due respect to those who believe they have served a noble cause, most action and sacrifice since WWII has simply been on behalf of the profiteers of the MIC and extraction industries.

One caveat... I have a number of friends who are veterans, who quietly agree with what I've just said. Those are veterans who strongly disagree with the so-called "patriotic" (jingoistic?) views of current military leadership. They are also my heroes.

Where do they expect to make the revenue up?

Exactly. This subject comes up a lot on social media lately. People just want the property taxes eliminated. They don't seem to have any idea what that revenue actually does for them.

I could see giving a rebate in some real estate markets where home values have increased substantially beyond the inflation rate, and drive the property taxes up well past the cost of what they were designated to fund. But in many places those taxes are covering a lot of services.

"Congress can remove the U.S. Attorney General through the constitutional impeachment process."
Time to disassemble Trump's house of cards.

Yes. Blanche could easily be impeached for violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act alone.

So basically 8 percent. Perhaps we're blaming high violent crime rates on the wrong demographic.

I'm only talking about the Presidential election. The only election every US citizen should get to decide. You?

Just for reference, $450,000,000 for Elon Musk is like the equivalent of $500 for someone with a net worth of $1 million. It's practically nothing to him.

will be a ridiculous step towards alienating smaller states in an already divided country.

It shouldn't be up to states. It should be up to voters. If you don't like the way some people vote, change their minds.

I'm sure Lauren still has a promising career as a hooker.. I mean lobbyist, in DC.

Everyone that owns a US stock index mutual fund is invested in AI.

So? I'm still WAY willing to take a hit in share values to keep data centers off public lands and heavily regulated.

I think Hegseth is leaving.... whether Trump fires him or not.

That's nice. Your compatriots desecrating the Capitol and spreading feces on the walls was quite enough.

John Fetterman Doesn't Matter Anymore

Good! He should resign. Israel already owns too many US Senators.

Texas still hold 23 Republican House seats.

Extinction? I doubt it we're done with them yet. I wish we could move on to more than two major parties.

Massie has already said he would likely begin impeachment of Hegseth next week. I hope they wait. I think it would be best if Trump couldn't seat any more appointments until the new Senate is sworn in. But even if the impeach Hegseth now, perhaps they can still stall any confirmations until next year.?

Some rumors are floating around that Trump may try to replace Hegseth with Ron DeSantis.

pass a bill for Medicare for folks 55 and over (even if Trump vetoes it), pass a bill to send money to rural communities to shore up healthcare facilities in that are in danger of going bankrupt.

They need to pass the Medicare for All legislation, or some other pragmatic universal healthcare that removes a large portion of the middlemen and profit motive from the equation (even if Trump vetoes it). The ACA has been undermined to the point of practical uselessness.

over 1.5 million people didn't show up to vote compared to the 2024 tally.

And would you like to expand upon why they didn't show up? Did they have to wash their hair? Were they at church?

What?

And to me that's a clear message that the Democratic establishment (ie Jeffries and Schumer) MUST be replaced. America can no longer afford the AIPAC supported status quo, who doesn't really care about regular Americans.

Don't f--- it up.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he has made a deal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the United States to stop sending $4 billion in aid annually to Israel, without providing details.

It seems obvious to me that as Netanyahu lost his election, this is his punishment/retribution for those who voted against him. I largely agree with cutting off military support for Israel. At least until they agree to stop exterminating Palestinians and pull back many of their settlements. But for psychopaths like Trump and Netanyahu, cruelty is a feature. Even against their own people.

The destruction of every American institution is not an accident. This is all by design. We only have a chance if a large majority understand this. Which is to say, the US as a free nation has practically no chance.

Carville should just shut up and go fishing, or something.

Just like Trump, Netanyahu should be in prison.
