It's fun to share this "Adam Ruins Everything" episode each year about Christopher Columbus. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MJo...
I'd love to see one of those "man on the street" interviewers like @jordanklepper.bsky.social pull up some of Reagan's conservative tenets then go ask Republicans if they support Reagan and ask if they support those tenets. My guess is there would be a big disconnect.
Cool, so the president of the US can do whatever he wants? No one's going to correct him on this, or they agree with this?
the supreme court: "stop saying we declared trump a god-king, presidential immunity was a limited and reasonable ruling" trump, constantly: "I am absolutely a god-king and I can do anything I want at any time"

Registering to vote will be much easier than the corn maze... but you must register before Sunday, October 4! Even if you are already registered, check that your name and address are still correct at vote.ri.gov.

TIL, there is a rule in Monopoly that if you land on an unowned property and don't want to buy it, the property goes to auction and any player can buy it. That'll speed things up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK_L...
Always verify. If you get an email with a change in billing info, call the company to verify. If they call you with a change in billing info, hang up and call them back at their correct number, not one the caller gives you. All of these attacks can be stopped if we verify with the source.
He's right, the GOP should talk more about beef prices. That'll go great for them. Hey Tom, let's go for a visit to some meat counters, on camera, across the country.
Emmer says Republicans need to talk more about grocery prices that aren't expensive: "Eggs are at pre-pandemic prices. Ah, beef is at, ah, less than $2 a pound for ground beef ... I think we have a lot to run on."
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times...ok, what are we doing here? Fool me four times, I must be MAGA, right?
Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms No checks have been issued www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi...
1. Imagine thinking you need to pay people to win an election. It probably means all your policies suck. 2. It's a felony. Add it to his 34 convictions.
Trump: "We're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called the Trump Dividend. Congratulations."
A fun story by @thestoryshorey.bsky.social on my recent hole in one at Lincoln Country Club. thelocalinsidernews.com/laverty-hits...
Here's the phone call Trump placed to a TV station as the towers burned. I'd love for someone to explain these two stories he's telling: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcKl...
Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."
If we can name 1 thing a US President did that is corrupt, that’s a huge problem. Here is a “Top 75” things.
The 75 Most Corrupt Things Trump Did in 2026. So far. The scams, schemes and grifts have been endless, as the Trump Family seems to spend most of their time and energy finding new ways to profit off the presidency. Here is my Top 75. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
