For months, President Trump portrayed the big new ballroom that he’s building on White House grounds as a gift to the nation, courtesy of donors. Now, Sen. Grassley has released a funding bill that includes $1 billion earmarked for security improvements accompanying the overall ballroom project.

"If everyone's ships are not getting out, your ships are not getting out either." Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that the U.S. blockade of Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz is "not an act of war," but a "defensive measure." www.ms.now/liveblog/heg...

A manhunt is underway as Tennessee officials search for a retired special forces veteran accused of shooting his wife during a domestic altercation early Friday.

The Supreme Court is helping Louisiana Republicans in their attempt to redistrict at breakneck speed, the better to obliterate one if not both of the state’s majority Black, Democratic congressional districts.

The Justice Dept. is seeking the names and contact information of election workers in Fulton County, Georgia, who worked during the 2020 presidential election, according to legal filings.

Trump promised lower costs. Instead he delivered the opposite: higher costs, chaos, and corruption. This November’s election is an opportunity for us to stand up and do what is right for our state and our country.

Oh my god, someone admitted it.

FIRESTORM book talk and signing in Rancho Mirage, CA ✅ thanks to everyone who came out!

Well, who killed #Epstein now seems obvious.

Even if you do usually vote Republican, most of us can agree at this point that the administration has gone way, way too far.

Liam's mom is waiting. His classmates miss him. His things are still in his school cubby. It's time for Liam to come home and for ICE to leave our state. www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-n...

I can't think of anything less patriotic than allowing a corrupt pedophile to suspend the constitution so he can murder citizens, enrich himself, and imprison journalists.

Minnesota. If we believe good can prevail – it will.

The Epstein files are never going to be give up voluntarily, even when directed to by the courts Obstructing justice, or tampering with evidence This regime is lawless. EVERYTHING they say is a lie. Most of what they do is illegal and a complete mad man is supposedly in charge Now, another war

Kristi Noem must be impeached. Tell Congress we’ve had ENOUGH of her garbage!

The Supreme Court's right wing on Tuesday sounded amenable to preventing trans people from constitutionally challenging sports bans and beyond. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/right-w...

youtu.be/F2u0c2pB7jQ?... Their words mean nothing. Their actions speak for them. They are traitors. They must be stopped. #treason

If someone leaked the Epstein files, they would easily be one of the most famous and celebrated people of the decade. 🙌

The Supreme Court majority’s radicalization on trans issues has become apparent in its eagerness to shoehorn anti-trans refrains into unrelated cases. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/alito-k...

tRUMPSTEIN wants so bad to be known as president ... of another country ... he even goes as far as faking a wiki page to proclaim it!! 🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣 THE GREATEST AND BIGLIEST OF ANYTHING HE DOES ... THE GREATEST AND BIGLIEST LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD!!! 💯💯💯🤣😅🤣

These career public servants have served our state through multiple tragedies and critical investigations. We cannot allow prosecutions to be driven by politics. The family and loved ones of Renee Good deserve justice, not political attacks.

In 2020, Congress greenlit a bipartisan plan to build a women’s history museum in the nation’s capital — an effort that has drawn widespread bipartisan support. But over five years later, the initiative is still stalled on Capitol Hill.

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen. Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.” It's so transparent what's going on here.

BREAKING: Minnesota Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison denied access to Minneapolis ICE facility

I'm a journalist but I'm also a human being. I'll always be fair, honest and give you the facts but I cannot pretend I don't have emotions. I wrote FIRESTORM to explore what it meant for me to report on disaster so close to home, as I told the great @velshi.com.

Leaving the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension out of the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's tragic death is wrong. They worked seamlessly with the FBI on Hortman & Annunciation cases—shutting them out now undermines trust and objectivity.

Less than 1% of the Epstein Files have been released. What the **** is on the other 99%?

Why aren’t the Epstein files being talked about now! Are networks looking for more money (bribes) ? Has the statute of limitations been shortened to 2 weeks. Or is it because Trump don’t want his name exposed for being a pedophile?

Congresswoman Robin Kelly announces plans to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem. robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

MAGA can't whitewash what happened on January 6, 2021 because of the uncontradicted J6 Report and because the insurrectionists themselves photographed and videotaped their crimes. We’ll continue to tell the story of how brave police officers defended the Capitol against Trump’s rampaging mob.

ICE just murdered a U.S. citizen. This violence is the direct result of racist rhetoric coming from Donald Trump and his allies. This is dangerous state-sanctioned violence. We will not stay silent while unqualified masked federal agents terrorize our communities.

I'm just imagining Trump being kidnapped by another country and tried for his crimes.

Trump actually admits he’s guilty by saying if republicans don’t win the midterms he’s going to jail! Damn straight he is! But not only him, all the scum bags in that party!

"We do not need any further help from the federal government. To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you've done enough." MN Gov. Tim Walz speaks on fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis. www.ms.now/news/federal...

(NOT) BREAKING (NOT NEW) NEWS: Trump just posted lies on Truth Social about the murder of a legal observer in Minneapolis.

I am deeply troubled and saddened to hear that ICE shot and killed a U.S. citizen earlier today. We know the Trump Admin is all too comfortable lying to Americans, which is why we need more details and a full, independent investigation into what happened instead of taking their word for it.
