The political ads in Nebraska are crazy.
Children sex changes in school is NOT a thing. Fucking stop it!
You can’t even give kids Tylenol without the parent’s permission!

If you know anyone in Kansas open to adopting two brothers, Kamorion and AJ are looking for a forever family. Spread the word!

People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.
I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.
Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.
Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.
Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.
So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.
PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.
Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

After running 18m voters through DHS database, TXidentified roughly 2700 people who could be non-citizens
Officials investigated those 2700 and wound up referring just 117 of them to the AG. Nearly 600 people flagged as non-citizens were actually citizens (staggering 21% error)

So, an oligarch who controls major Russian gambling and automotive assets paid a six figure sum for a post-wedding party in the Bahamas as a gift to the son and daughter-in-law of the President of the United States. Do I have that right? If so, do the President and his family not see how bad this looks? Republicans (I'm one) would be up in arms if a gift like this were accepted by the immediate family of a Democrat serving as President of the United States. Even if we were to accept for the sake of argument the unlikely proposition that Umar Krelev is not buying influence, the appearance of impropriety is glaring. Is there no one in or near the President's family who will say, "no, this kind of thing is not appropriate--we'll pay for our own post-wedding party"?

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Worth mentioning that Tim Dunn, the far right oil billionaire who is bankrolling Bo French’s campaign, was recently embroiled in a massive scandal over his political networks ties to Nick Fuentes and other white supremacists.
The GOP presents itself as corrupt; the DNC presents itself as confused and conflicted. We have primarily bad choices on the ballot.

Pretty wild experience to see former tea party leaders now supporting a 5k dividend (that’s going to come out of our kids and grand kids future) to every single breathing American.

What Vance is saying here is rubbish and he's smart enough to know it. Politicians have been, in effect, bribing voters with their own money forever, but this takes it to a new level, not least because the tariff money wouldn't come close to covering the payouts.
Baier: $5000 for every adult citizen, that's about $1.3 trillion. The critics will say the president is bribing voters and he's bankrupting the country.
Vance: Tariffs have generated a lot of revenues. The president is saying, if you keep us in power, then you will share in some of the benefit of this incredible wealth that we are creating
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Annual tariff revenue (under $300B) cannot fund a $1.3T payout, and distributing funds requires congressional approval. Previous cash dividend promises were also never delivered, including the 2025 DOGE dividend and proposed $2,000 tariff rebates.
