It turns out that President Donald Trump may not have thought through all the consequences before he banned some of his most hated news outlets from the White House.

After Trump declared CNN, MS NOW, and Politico “fake news” and exiled them from the White House grounds on Friday, the other networks that make up the White House press pool—including ABC, CBS, NBC, and even Fox News—agreed to boycott their pool duties on Monday in solidarity with the banned outlets.

Lol, will it be a TACO Tuesday?

Democrats are demanding to see a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “checklist” for law enforcement on “voter integrity.”

The 12-page document — which appears to have existed since at least last year — raises more questions about potential Trump administration plans to use armed federal agents to disrupt voting.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) flagged the existence of the document in a Friday court filing in its lawsuit seeking information on possible plans to deploy immigration agents or military personnel to the polls this fall.

In a status report, lawyers for the DNC told U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell that DHS has since July withheld the document, titled “Checklist for Law Enforcement Voter Integrity 9.15.25 – FINAL DRAFT — BSI suggestions.docx.”

Well...sorta 😆
The lady doing it didn't pluck that many. Which means, the difference is quite small and subtle...BUT, up close you can definitely tell something's different! You probably can't even tell from the pictures tho...

Also got to visit my mom and finally told her about SRS in Thailand. She didn't know I was planning Thailand. I didn't tell her, because she was super worried about me getting SRS in general, but she was extremely supportive ♥️

As I was leaving, she gave me a really pretty colorful coat, so that I wouldn't freeze on my way home 😂. And she told me I could keep it! So I got a new, pretty and surprisingly form-fitting coat. Normal coats make me look rectangular and, quite honestly, fat lol, but this one makes me look slim and really nice. You probably can't tell from the picture, but I still like it!

When I got back home tho, I gotta say...wearing the new coat, with my slightly different eyebrows, my slightly frozen face looked really damn cute in the mirror, or at least I thought so. That hasn't happened in a long time 💜

Also...I could just be imagining it, but...my cheeks just seem fatter, but like in a good way? I used to be a literal skeleton pre-HRT, face included, so I think it makes me look at least a little bit healthier, lol

Honestly, successful day. Really glad I got up today 😂🩷

Additionally, Wheeler alleges, Boebert had a sexual relationships around the same time with Raven Finegan, a congressional employee and the congresswoman’s district chief of staff, and Jeffrey Small, who was her chief of staff from 2021 to 2025.

The complaint includes detailed financial records of Boebert’s congressional spending, and payments to staff that included more than $450,000 to Finegan to June 2026, and almost $780,000 to Small. Ratzlaff received more than $461,000.

According to some sources, at least 1 in 8 of the world population is classified as ‘obese’. Since nobody in any government seems to have thought up a working solution, what do you believe can be done to solve the epidemic?

This includes the proposed changes to the labour code that was reported on Friday.

The world is full of naming sins.
It's chaos, I declare.
If cats were put in charge of words,
we'd straighten things out there.

Blue things would all be blue things.
Cat things would all be cats.
And hot dogs would be called
"Not Dogs"—

which ultimately settles that. 🐾

As US diesel prices are hitting record highs, President Donald Trump's approval ratings are hitting record lows.

A poll from Reuters released on Monday shows Trump's approval rating clocking in at just 32%, the worst rating recorded over either of his two terms.

One reason for Trump's rock-bottom ratings has been increasing dissatisfaction from Republican voters, who in the past have stood by him even after he incited a violent attack on the US Capitol that sent lawmakers running for their lives.

Overall, Trump's job approval ratings among Republicans fell by nine points in the span of a week, going from 82% to 73%. The survey also finds for the first time that Republican voters disapprove of Trump's handling of the cost of living, with 51% registering dissatisfaction.

The Reuters survey wasn't even the worst poll for Trump released on Monday, as a poll from American Research Group shows the president with an approval rating of 29% and a disapproval rating of 68%.

Notably, American Research Group said Trump's approval rating now is 10 points lower than it was in September 2018, shortly before the Republican Party lost 41 seats in the US House of Representatives in that year's midterm election.

The next midterm elections are less than two months away, and the biggest difference between 2018 and 2026 is the state of the economy, as Trump's illegal war with Iran has led to skyrocketing energy prices with no end in sight.

Data released by the American Automobile Association on Monday shows the average price of gasoline in the US rising to $4.48 per gallon, with the average price of diesel fuel hitting another record high of $6.51 per gallon.

Economists say the record diesel prices are likely to lead to further increases in grocery prices, as the fuel is used to power both farm equipment and delivery trucks. According to a Monday report from Axios, higher costs for farmers are set to "reach store shelves in the coming months, starting with bread, meat, dairy, and eggs."

In a Monday social media post, Trump tried to cast blame for high diesel prices exclusively on Russia's war with Ukraine, without mentioning the illegal war with Iran he started more than six months ago.

"Russia has unfortunately lost control of its Diesel Oil Industry due to its War with Ukraine," Trump wrote. "A large number of their Diesel refineries have been blown up and are, at least temporarily, out of commission. This ridiculous and never ending War with Ukraine must be ended."

The social media account for House Democrats pounced on the record-low approval numbers for the president.

"It’s clear: Americans are fed up with Trump and Republicans," they wrote.
