7+ min ago (544+ words) The phrase, "I voted Republican and all I got was this dumb t-shirt," is a good summation of the disappointment that comes with supporting the feckless Grand Old Party. But in the case of Indiana, we didn't even get the t-shirt. On Thursday, the Hoosier State's Republican-controlled Senate shot down efforts to pass a new congressional map seeking to boost their party's share of seats heading into the 2026 midterms. According to Fox News, the new map "would have created two more right-leaning congressional districts in the solidly red Midwestern state, where the GOP controls seven of Indiana's nine U.S. House seats." Despite holding a supermajority in the upper chamber, 21 of the Senate's 40 Republican senators joined Democrats in defeating the proposed map (31-19). The measure had previously cleared the state House (57-41) last week. The contrast between this embarrassment and redistricting efforts by Democrat-led…...

10+ min ago (496+ words) By Theodore Bunker "|" Friday, 12 December 2025 01:00 PM EST The White House said "no final decisions have been made on the rescheduling of marijuana" Friday, tempering reports that President Donald Trump is preparing an executive order to ease federal restrictions on cannabis that have long frustrated industry advocates and lawmakers. "No final decisions have been made on the rescheduling of marijuana," a White House official said in a statement late Friday, after several news outlets reported the administration was close to directing federal agencies to reclassify the drug to a less restrictive category. Reports this week suggested Trump is considering an executive order that would instruct the Justice Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I, which is the strictest classification under the federal Controlled Substances Act, to Schedule III, a move that would acknowledge medical use and…...

Time magazine named its 2025 "person of the year" " but it wasn"t just one person. Instead, the magazine celebrated the "Architects of AI" as its person of the year. This includes tech leaders like Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, Lisa Su, Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei, and Fei-Fei Li. However, while "interesting," the claims the Time article made were more than a little dystopian in nature. "That sounds like a bad idea to me," Stu comments.

11+ min ago (297+ words) Republican challenger John Nagel, who is running against Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar in Minnesota's 5th Congressional District, said the congresswoman bears responsibility for the massive welfare fraud scandal unfolding in her district, which has drawn national attention. Nagel was referring to allegations that the free meal programs at the center of the scandal were enabled by the 2020 MEALS Act, legislation introduced by Omar and passed with bipartisan support. He said the public deserves greater transparency about who helped craft the bill. Nagel also alleged that individuals within Omar's inner circle personally profited from the nearly $1 billion welfare fraud scheme, which has placed her Somali constituency under increased scrutiny from the White House. He pointed to Safari Land, a Minneapolis restaurant named in the fraud case, saying Omar held events there, knew one of its now-convicted owners, and employed a staffer who…...
