It's a fridge with a bottle of champagne in someone's kitchen until the camera zooms out. I often see similar things in Kharkiv: a ceiling lamp hanging by a wire in a dark, shattered room; a kitchen cabinet still hanging on the wall when the rest of the room is gone;

Gas prices are skyrocketing because our elected officials have the wrong priorities. We need folks in Washington that will actually put in effort to make life cheaper for working class families.
I love that this guy keeps coming back on Pop the Balloon. He is on a run right now lol.
Day 462 - Cutting gasoline/energy prices 50% by 19 JAN 2026 ? Just another broken promise. This video shows trump making that promise on 29 September 2024 at a campaign rally in Erie Pennsylvania. He also promised to NOT allow cuts to Medicaid/Medicare, and to lower grocery prices on day 1. Nope
Even Dugin,the ideologist of the "Russian world,"lacks a vision for Russia’s future There are people within Russia’s highest leadership circles who are beginning to realize that Russia has reached a dead end and that Putin is making utterly senseless, self-destructive decisions.

Billionaires don't need a break. But Trump gave them one anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We can raise $4 billion in state revenue by taxing corporations and the ultra-rich, and use this progressive revenue to protect community programs, healthcare, and SNAP from cuts. Tell your legislators! bit.ly/emailyourleg

In the history section on ICE’s website, one line reads: “Despite U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's relatively young age, its functional history predates the modern birth of the agency by more than 200 years.” We know that ICE was created in 2003. So what exactly do they mean by that?
🚨 DELANEY AFTER DARK: ICE CHAOS AFTER MIDNIGHT 🚨 As Day 6 of the Delaney Hall hunger/labor strike began, @JonFarinaPhoto captured ICE agents shoving protesters into the street, deploying pepper spray at close range, and one agent appearing to strike a protester’s leg with a baton.
Stephen A. Smith: You’re down in Texas and as a right-winger, you're about to go left because of what you're seeing? Voter: I'm gonna vote for Mr. Talarico, man, 100%. I haven't voted Democratic since I was 20 years old. James Talarico is a different deal. He speaks from the heart.
