This is nuts. When our third child was born, we were living in a 1330 Square foot house, and while we moved to a larger place soon thereafter, until our oldest was 13, we raised five children in a 2500 square foot house and things were just fine. Plenty of Americans have large families in houses far smaller than those described above. When we finally moved to Montana and into our much larger house, we certainly appreciated the extra space, but we never felt like it was necessary for our family to thrive. I know things are tough out there for Zoomers and young Millenials, but people also need to just suck it up and deal.


NEW: Elon Musk took $500 million in loans out at SpaceX, a move that would have been illegal at a public company. It's just one example of the years of financial engineering at the helm of his companies. Latest investigation with @susannecraig nytimes.com/2026/04/24/tec…


DOJ releases more information about the U.S. soldier who won more than $400,000 by betting on Maduro's removal. Gannon Ken van Dyke could face up to 60 years in prison on all charges. Prosecutors are also seizing the money he won.


I will maintain consistency. I don't want Ron DeSantis to gerrymander Florida even after Democrats have gerrymandered Virginia. It's both wrong and ultimately does not change the overall outcome. "Crush them" is a fleetingly potent but inevitably anemic way to do politics.



This is like the classic dril bit >I can't find workers for my farm >Offer a higher wage >No

This animal was ‘competent’ enough to vote. He was ‘competent’ enough to get welfare. He was ‘competent’ enough to get public housing. He was ‘competent’ enough to get EBT. He was ‘competent’ enough to get free bus rides. He was ‘competent’ enough to acquire a murder weapon. He was ‘competent’ enough to slice a girls throat in an instant. He was ‘competent’ enough to immediately brag about murdering “that white girl.” This animal was ‘competent’ enough to stand trial for 14 (!!!!) previous violent offenses and be set free. But now that he’s facing the death penalty he’s miraculously ‘incompetent’ and cannot be judged. My blood is boiling. Impeach and punish the corrupt judges who allowed this violent repeat offender to be free to kill Iryna. Federal charges better stick and deliver the death penalty to this monster, who was caught on camera committing racial hate murder. Make it a public execution. End this madness. We cannot share a society with these people. Kill evil.

Missouri teen made a heartbreaking plea for his life after realizing he had been lured by an illegal migrant into a deadly ambush, prosecutors say. Miles Young, 15, was gunned down March 12 in Greene County, Missouri, when prosecutors said he was coaxed into believing he was meeting up with a girl before being confronted by his attackers. Witnesses described his anguished last moments as he pleaded with his attackers: 'I just don't want to die.' Following a two-week manhunt for his killers, authorities arrested suspect Yefry Archaga, 18, accusing him of planning the deadly scheme. A second suspect, Praize King, 18, also faces first-degree murder and armed criminal action charges after allegedly joining the ambush.



These posts don’t land because of all of the fraud. If Democrats really wanted to fund insulin, or anything really, they’d demand DOGE audits of all federal programs.


I'm tired of Democrats that don't stand up against this rigged system. Standing up for bold action on health care, child care, and stopping wars is scaring the powerful. They're funding candidates to bad mouth me. But that's nothing compared to what working class Americans face every day. I will always put my constituents first.
