At this rate Republicans are going to burn through their entire corrupt old white man supply by November

Donald Trump’s corruption is allowing him to do what he never achieved in business — finally making a profit. What hasn’t changed? You’re still being cheated by him.

Ty Cobb: “[Donald Trump] is crazy. He is a malignant narcissist, he’s demented. It’s all about self-enrichment. I spent hours and hours in the Oval working through things with him. It’s much worse now”

Buttigieg: We know that there is more to life than partisan political combat. We know the American flag does not belong to one political side in this country, just as surely as we know that God does not belong to a political party in the United States of America.

On Thursday, the Trump regime forced out the three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — effectively ending it. You need to see this as part of Trump’s overall strategy to take over the midterm elections some 90 days from now. Here's what we can do about it.

He never deleted it.

Russia killed Ukrainian volunteer Olha Kuzmenko, along with the animals Olha was caring for. Olha chose to stay in the frontline town of Druzhkivka, Donetsk region. She refused to leave because of the animals - Olha spent her days feeding them and helping with their evacuation to safer areas.

Alexei Navalny (2024) – Russian authorities claimed Alexei Navalny died in prison from an irregular heartbeat or "sudden death syndrome". However, his widow and multiple European laboratories state his sudden illness was caused by a deliberate poisoning with a rare dart frog toxin.

A heart attack doesn’t automatically rule out foul play. Kremlin opponents tend to die under suspicious circumstances before. That doesn’t prove it happened to Lindsey Graham, but the possibility shouldn’t be dismissed and yes it should be investigated. Russians are gleeful about it too.

Not sure why the FBI would be involved with a heart attack.

Build child care centers. Build health centers. Build community centers. Not data centers. And not ICE detention centers.

The US has been blocking Ukraine from getting Patriot missiles for a while now; Zelenskyy had to threaten just buying them from Japan or creating his own local variant and now the US is interested in releasing them? how convenient.

Memphis is under siege from the federal government. This is hideous.

Is there blasphemy more potent than claiming that vulgar, petty, and incompetent Donald Trump gets his “wisdom” from your god? This is lunacy.

This adulterous liar scolding James Talarico on his understanding of Christianity is as ridiculously galling as JD Vance chastising the Pope on his understanding of Catholicism.

Let's face it: ICE is *not* a law enforcement agency. It is a ragtag collection of angry, arrested development vigilantes and malcontents that has gone "Lord of the Flies" on us.

Donald Trump opposes affordable housing. Pass it on.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

Three witnesses were in the van with Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Per their attorney: no ramming, no danger to agents & no reasonable basis to open fire Unreasonable force opens these agents to liability This is becoming another national outrage & it should be👇 -TN

This is Beau. He loves his small human. A little concerned about why he's being outlined like a crime scene victim. Deciding to give them the benefit of the doubt. 13/10 (TT: beaunosebones)

The man who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Houston was NOT the target of their immigrant operation, DHS announced.

Family members and local officials are calling for a full investigation into the shooting death of a man killed by ICE agents in Houston. https://to.pbs.org/3QJa4kz

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's last words were "me están matando"—they are killing me.

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

To celebrate a rebellion is to know that, from a flawed world, we can make new things. We can hold on, we can find each other, and not just imagine but create a much better America. It is a special 250th – it is ours. Be as courageous as you can. variety.com/2026/politic...

Mexico's president Sheinbaum, condemned the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo as another tragic death of people whose only offense is not yet having proper documentation; the government is preparing legal action and UN involvement over killings and abuses by the United States.

I'm glad that Graham Platner is out. But it is so disturbing to contemplate that the man who was *twice* elected president makes Platner look like an amateur when it comes to serial sexual assaults.

His family were not notified for hours that he had been hospitalized and were denied a chance to see him. His family learned what happened through social media. After seeing a video of him screaming in pain, they recognized him from his voice. They call for an investigation.

ICE agents shot and killed an unarmed civilian in Houston, Texas. The victim was a construction worker, a father of three US citizens, had lived in the US for 35 years and was applying for a work permit. He panicked and tried to flee when he mistook masked, armed ICE agents for thieves.

I’m going to watch the Mel Brooks documentary on HBO. Because laughing will be good. So there.

WE FOUND THE ELECTION FRAUD‼️ Ken Paxton may have violated Texas election law by voting from an address where he allegedly didn’t live. Under Texas law, knowingly voting while ineligible is a second degree felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Trump bought over $12M in stock in companies like Apple and Nvidia right before pausing his tariffs. And he bought $5M in Axon stocks just weeks before ICE sought a contract with them. Today he abruptly announces an end to the Iran ceasefire... What's really going on here?
