New in PN: Retire in peace
"McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

Yeah for sure, the same guy who hid in a catering cart and left the rest of his cabinet to be missile bait was *totally* at Ground Zero
Trump on 9/11: "I just thank my people. I was building a big building in New York & I took the whole crew down there right after this happened & they had no hesitation. Everybody went down with me... we thought it was coming down on top of us... two fireman lifted me up and started running with me"

White-only water fountains were only slightly less subtle.
Between October 2025 and July 2026, the U.S. accepted 10,258 refugees.
All but three (3!) were white South Africans.
Regardless of your opinion of South Africa's laws and government, I don't know how you could call this anything other than an explicitly racist policy.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org).
But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare.

Must be great to work on an aircraft carrier right now. You get to hang out next to Iran without fresh food for months on end and meanwhile they're going to have to gut the whole ship to make the launch catapults work on steam like in the olden days because the president is scared of magnets

Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned.
Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!

I'm just going to keep screaming this until I'm hoarse, but until Trump the norm -- for 50 years -- was that sitting presidents had their taxes audited by the IRS and released to the public to show they were clean.

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche.
The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
