Old man urges investment in horses, buggys, and oats.

I feel sorry for the dogs that will suffer because of this nonsense.

Do they want Dems to vote for the pedo-protector or the white supremacist? The problem is that the GOP thinks everyone is as crazy as they are.

Instead of sending multiple people to jail for abusing kids, officials will turn a blind eye to abuse it knows will happen.

Abuse is normalized in the "troubled teen" industry and it's absolutely infuriating.

Funneling public money to a bunch of grifters.

Florida is also using this crap in their schools.

Yes, but it's about a major tech company, so maybe it fits? NBC filed it in their 'Tech News' section.

Ordered on trial day 4, we can see where this is going.

Meadows incriminated himself for five hours on the stand. Getting cross examined under oath. What a collosal risk.

If he's got half a brain, he's calling Fani Willis this weekend and making a deal.

“The Court finds that the color of the Office of the White House Chief of Staff did not include working with or working for the Trump campaign, except for simply coordinating the President’s schedule, traveling with the President to his campaign events, and redirecting communications to the campaign,” Jones wrote. “Thus, consistent with his testimony and the federal statutes and regulations, engaging in political activities is exceeds the outer limits of the Office of the White House Chief of Staff.”

He also admits to violating the Hatch Act, under oath.

Power tripping assholes.

“You can’t do that,” Popp tells Box. “That will be dropped.”

“Yeah, it’s gonna get dropped,” Box replies. “I told (Douglas) it’s definitely going to get thrown out. … I said, ‘Ah, that’s not really going to fly, buddy.’”

Douglas is heard saying that even if the charge would be dropped, it at least “inconvenienced” Guessford.

A judge has already issued a temporary order to block the ban.

What was McCarthy's plan?

He spent the last week daring Gaetz to file the motion, and once it happened, that was it? No political maneuvering or deal making? Just let the chips fall where they may?

Trump wasn't labeled as a flight risk, even though he should be.

So what's keeping him from traveling abroad? Bail bondsman conditions? Advice from his lawyers?

A self-styled dating coach and influencer

Grifters, on every level.

Very upsetting story. This young girl was failed by every adult in her life.

DeSantis performed poorly at the debate so that might be why we're seeing the audio leaked now.

Clearly it's the messaging that's the problem /s

GOP needs to exhaust every bad option before doing the right thing.

It's the day before Super Tuesday. 15 states will have primaries.

Just days after another Chinese naval encirclement of Taiwan, Gou announces a plan of appeasement.

It's amazing how little some people learn from history.

Also needs to cut down on coke

Everyone should watch the video. McConnell needs to retire.

For many, the first time the heard of Ginni Thomas was in connection with Jan6. But her efforts to subvert democracy go back much further.

That's from March. Polls now are very different.

Polls show Americans agree with Biden on US foreign policy on Israel

Ate airport sushi while going commando. Then boarding a 9 hour flight.

That's the idea behind the prototype. The sonic booms are lessened so overland flights will be permitted.

Some moron is going to nominate Trump

It's pretty crazy that a well known political operative can completely disappear.

He wouldn't have made it through a primary. Given it's Utah he'll be replaced by someone much worse.

“If you see smoke it’s not a speaker, someone just set the place on fire,” GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson with a literally 🔥 vibe check.

This is awful!

Can you complain further up the chain, at a county or state level?

Trump railed against American "liberal" Jews on Rosh Hashanah, now he's pissing off Jews everywhere.

The problem is lack of rural hospitals. Without the birthing centers, some people will drive the extra distance, some will opt for home birth.

This policy won't help Alabama's maternal mortality rate, especially among it's poorest.

His campaign is pretty much funded by one guy, who's lost tens of millions. DeSantis might be forced to pull the plug before the first primary.

Not a huge surge in Mass as one might think.

Data recently released shows thousands more abortions in Illinoos and New Mexico, compared to previous years.

Notably, when data were stratified by state of residence, there was a 37.5 percent increase in the number of out-of-state residents, which is about 45 additional abortions.
