Putting this here in hopes that one of you can help: I have heard of an app that shares news stories with an indicator of the political leaning of the source. I can’t remember the name of that app. It’s not the one started by Chris Evan’s (A Starting Point), it’s more recent. Does this ring any bel...

Finally. Took you long enough. X( The Republican challenger for a North Carolina Supreme Court seat conceded last November’s election to Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs on Wednesday, two days after a federal judge ruled that potentially thousands of disputed ballots challenged by Jefferson Griff...

This weekend brought news that Trump isn't sure if he's supposed to uphold the constitution, wants to reopen Alcatraz, and wants to put tariffs on foreign made movies. The last bit brought this comment from the White House. “Although no final decisions on foreign film tariffs have been made, the Ad...

JD Vance killed the Pope. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

He probably was Francis' last straw.

The Pope lost the will to live after meeting JD Vance.

Yup. Who wants to live in a world where we are one heartbeat away from that man being president?

I’m happy to see posts by people here and in other social media who are taking part in protests. We got 5 friends who had never protested in their lives to join us yesterday. People are coming together to do something. Agreed. Thank you to you and the other protestors. Much appreciated. Dems need t...

Not a scientific study but I have increasingly been seeing ads emphasizing "made in America," how all parts are made here, product is put together here, etc. Mainly for cars. This definitely existed before, but the tone just seems different. Likely targeting the MAGA buyers. I was half watching TV l...

The cult grows. As President Donald Trump nears the 100-day mark of his second term, recent polling from NBC News shows how he has consolidated the Republican Party not just around himself, but also around his broader “Make America Great Again” movement. Thirty-six percent of registered voters iden...

Don’t think there’s any legitimate argument that we aren’t in a full blown constitutional crisis.

Yup. And he just keeps on doing it. And his supporters keep coming up with excuses to support it.

The expression "ask for forgiveness, not permission" applies here except he is doing neither.

Someone’s making a killing on the inside. This is classic market manipulation. Chances of anyone ever being prosecuted? Bueller? Bueller? The people who are supposed to be on top of this are instead doing Trump's dirty work and going after all the meanies who weren't nice to him. Because he has nev...

I don’t see how this is not market manipulation. Yup. I wish that when the Dems had more control they had been more aggressive about putting through legislation about insider trading by government officials. Granted, I'm sure most of those who are profiting off of those are not government people bu...

but I was totally fed up as a few idiots were getting away with murder. That's pretty much why I'm taking a mental health break from Facebook for these past couple of months. Good Lord how dumb this country is. Let me off the ride. That's also why. Fortunately the vast majority of my FB friends are...

I was given points then banned for a week OY for posting something no worse than what anyone else posted in the thread about Maluach: "This is attacking a relatively minor issue in way too big of a way. Who cares if it impacts many other people, even for a brief period of time? Talk about making a m...

Interesting. (I actually thought they were done with all of these nominations, but I guess not.) Discussions are being held on whether Representative Elise Stefanik should step away from her nomination to be President Donald Trump's U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, a White House official said...

I didn’t watch either. Instead, I attended the Huntington Beach City Council meeting and took advantage of the 60 seconds* allotted to each citizen to denounce the all-MAGA Council and support Chris Kluwe. 47 citizens spoke up, and my guess is that 30 were on my side. It fell on deaf ears with this...

I didn't watch Trump's speech last night, and I'm glad I didn't, because it might've killed me. It was fatal for this newly installed Congressman. Texas Rep. Sylvester Turner, the former mayor of Houston, has died suddenly at 70 years old, just two months after joining Congress. ... According to Wh...

The local police confirmed they were in town. Gotcha. You are in the NYC burbs, right? Yes, I’m in Westchester County, but in a town with a large minority population. Bronxville or Scarsdale? :D So if I remember correctly, the thought was that Biden had simultaneously pissed off Jews and Palestinia...

ICE is in my town today. Only a matter of time until they round up the families of my daughters’ friends. 🤮 Dumb question - how do you know they were there? My son has at least two kids in his grade (fifth) who are at risk - they just arrived last spring. Fun times talking to a fifth grader about w...

Holy crap. I went over to the Faux News website to see how they were covering Pres Musk’s antics. The story is buried under a lot of other pro-Trump propaganda and is a positive spin on Musk’s plans to eliminate USAID. Absolutely nothing about him illegally infiltrating other agencies and stealing ...
