$200 billion would pay for free college for every American, $10 day childcare, 1000 new trade schools, the 40% federal share of special needs education and a lot more.
What are we even doing here?
MAGA is now Iran first?

SCOOP: The Pentagon asked the White House today for more than *$200 billion* for the Iran war supplemental, sources say Some White House aides think Congress won't support b/c it's so big Will tee up giant battle in Congress

@end3of6days9 I guess t a partial denture 5 years ago and it was $2000 so denture work is always that high

This mom gets the estimate for her teenage son's braces and her reaction is pure, relatable shock.
She sits there staring at the paper: over $6,000 for full top-and-bottom braces. "What? Like who can afford over $6,000 for braces?" she says, voice cracking with disbelief.
Her son needs them for an overbite and just one or two crooked teeth—"his teeth aren't even that crooked"—but it's still full treatment. She thought maybe it was $1,900 or something (perhaps a down payment), but nope, the numbers are real.
He's got two insurances (one through mom, one through dad), yet the estimate only factors in dad's. She hopes hers kicks in more, especially since her daughter only needed top braces before. But even so, she's floored: "Oh my god, this can't be real. This can't be real. Parents, is this real?"
This is the everyday reality hitting so many families right now. A basic need like fixing your kid's teeth turns into a massive financial gut punch—thousands out of pocket, even with insurance, while you're already dealing with life’s other curveballs.
Kids shouldn't have to go without straight teeth and confidence because orthodontics costs more than a used car. Parents shouldn't have to choose between braces and bills.
Who's been hit with a braces quote that made you do a double-take? Or is this just what we Americans have to deal with in 2026?

@billofright8 @MikeLevin MAGAs supporting the pedophile president care nothing about sexual assault on children.
Release The Epstein Files!!!

Here is what’s really going on with regard to the funding stalemate in Congress.
ICE agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens on the streets of Minneapolis.
Democrats then said: before we write you another check, agree to the same rules every police department in America already follows. Judicial warrants before entering homes. Visible ID. Body cameras. No raids at schools and hospitals.
We immediately pushed for votes to fund TSA, the Coast Guard, and FEMA.
Republicans blocked it.
We tried to fund FEMA alone.
Republicans blocked that too. Their position was to fund ICE with no strings attached, or shut the whole thing down.
So DHS shut down.
Then yesterday, the White House sent a letter admitting we were right. But they still won’t agree to judicial warrants or to take the masks off, which means agents can still break down your door without a judge’s approval and you still can’t see their faces when they do it.
We’ve been ready to fund your airport security since day one, not to mention Coast Guard, FEMA and the rest. Republicans chose to protect ICE from accountability instead.

@rachizzle899 @billofright8 @MikeLevin Always the same line. We know Obama and Clinton and pals lied to stop Trump. Do you really believe they would be able to hide any proof?
English
@billofright8 @MikeLevin You’re joking right? The president and all his buddies are in the Epstein files and doing nothing about that.

No matter how many times you’re told, you willfully ignore a fact. Judicial warrants can only be issued for FEDERAL crimes. So if an illegal is charged with sexual assault on a 10 year old and a liberal judge releases him with no bail, ICE would be prevented from capturing hm and deporting him.
Only a flaming liberal would not be bothered by the sexual assault of a minor. But that’s what you’re supporting.

Here's what's really going on.
During the Biden Administration Democrats imported 25 Million UNVETTED foreigners. There were also 6 Million GOTAWAYS and nearly 1 Million unaccompanied minors who entered. Now Democrats want to prevent their invaders from being deported so they can gain more house seats and eventually give their leeching invaders voting rights and AMNESTY. Democrats also deliberately put people in danger by lying about ICE and called for their "street warriors" to take to the streets, follow ICE, harass ICE, and interfere with ICE arrests to protect these people 👇

@LiberalLab @LongTimeHistory Tell us again how great Canada is that they had to run away to be in USA? Was it because we so easily diagnose and prescribe meds to autistic kids?
English
Why, when there are threats at home because of a war that Trump chose to start, is Homeland Security wasting resources detaining a 7 yo Canadian girl & her Mom who are here lawfully? These clowns want more funding? How about they do what they are paid to do? Focus on threats.
LongTime🤓FirstTime👨💻@LongTimeHistory
ICE detain 7 year old girl from Canada—who suffers from severe autism. She's traumatized in loud & overcrowded cell—no reason she can't be at home with her legal stepfather. "They are being unlawfully detained," he said. "My wife and daughter's papers are good and up to date." He provided his wife's social security documentation—that prove she is a lawful alien with a right to work in the U.S. Mother and child are currently locked up at the Ursula ICE detention center in McAllen, Texas—notorious for having child "cages."

@RussReformUK Too bad legal adoption wasn’t easier. If women could sell those babies they would go thru birthing them so why not get adoption services easier and more profitable to save lives
English
I still can't get my head around this, who in their right mind would carry a baby to full term only to murder it days before bringing into this world.
Why anyone would want this passed as law really needs to take a long hard look at themselves

@SteveOnSpeed I cannot imagine how people like that manage to work and pay for food housing and vacations. Who is enabling them?

Legit curious. On a cruise. Saw a woman who was probably 500 pounds, easy. Insanely fat. Needed a scooter to get around.
Has 6 plates of food in front of her.
Do these folks just,..not care that they are morbidly obese?

I’m just going to say this — had Mexican soldiers invaded across the USA’s southern border on 10/7/2023 to rape and murder their way across part of Texas, then paraded the corpses of dead, naked American women around like trophies for the Mexican civilian population to spit on, by 10/7/2024, Mexico as an independent country would have ceased to exist — and no one would have said a word in protest.
No one tells non-Jewish nations that they must turn the other cheek after acts of war. Only Israel is expected to meekly bury her dead; only Jews are supposed to constantly mourn, but never to retaliate; to accept butchery and brutality and bombings as the price they must pay for mere existence — and it has far less to do with Palestinian lives than it does with the age-old European conviction that Jews only exist so that the rest of society has someone to abuse.

@Bitcoin_Teddy Everything is relative. Older gen’s worked 40 plus hours per week. Got 2 weeks vaca. That’s it. No paid medical leave, sick days etc and most everyone’s parents either both worked or did home parties for extra cash
English
Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.”
No, you didn’t.
You didn’t pay $3200 for rent and $10 for eggs.
You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security.
Gen Z isn’t dramatic.
They’re drowning.

Senator Tammy Duckworth is talking about she and the Military weren’t allowed to use tear gas in a War zone against their enemies so why are ICE agents allowed to use it near schools with children all around when they know it causes major health issues! 🤬

@ElectioNark GOO needs to come together and stop the fighting amongst themselves. We need to scare dem voters to stop ruining the state

If Illinois expects to have a Republican Governor, let’s get one thing straight.
We can’t have a real election until we get a handle on the fact that all the republicans who voted in the state can’t even beat the ballot producing mass registration of Chicago democrats votes.
Stop celebrating and get to work on this
It’s like cheering because you scored a field goal while the other team is up by five touchdowns.

🚨 BREAKING: UK House of Lords just voted to legalise abortion right up to birth — any stage, any reason, no consequences.

A. Yes
B. No

@TonyLaneNV You have to specify that when you buy your tix. Don’t you think everyone would say that just to get a special spot on the plane?

THIS IS WILD…
Passenger says United denied a simple request that could literally save their life.
Severe peanut allergy.
One exposure = possible fatal reaction.
All they asked for?
A small buffer zone on the plane.
Instead… they were told to basically deal with it and “email the company.”
On a packed flight where people are eating inches away…
That’s not a minor issue.
That’s life or death.
Do airlines have a responsibility here… or is this asking too much? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

A ski-masked gunman emerged from behind a light beacon and murdered an 18-year-old woman who was gathered with friends this morning at Loyola Beach. The victim’s social media indicates she was a student at Loyola University. The attack appears random. cwbchicago.com/2026/03/gunman…
