Addressing the U.N. General Assembly, President Trump said, “We are rapidly reversing the economic calamity we inherited from the previous administration.” He’s repeatedly said the US economy is the hottest in the world. The numbers don’t necessarily back that up. buff.ly/7qZy9mY

Hmm, seems nefarious.

Democratic New York lawmakers — as well as City Comptroller Brad Lander — were arrested by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers Thursday after demanding access to an alleged detention facility run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at 26 Federal Plaza.

Question for the white liberals who have written columns praising Charlie Kirk in the name of "free speech." Where are you columns actually DEFENDING THE FREE SPEECH of people who are being fired for [checks notes] quoting Charlie Kirk? (Which most of you white praisers didn't have the guts to do)

Welcome to Trump’s America, where they fire Karen Attiah and Matthew Dowd for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s right-wing extremism and applaud Brian Kilmeade for suggesting we murder the homeless.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

All right, I wrote about it:

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Authorities have ID’d a 22-year-old white man named Tyler Robinson as the suspect who murdered Charlie Kirk Take an uncomfortable journey with me & imagine the convo if media & politicians spoke of Robinson as if he were Black, brown, trans, immigrant, or Muslim? www.qasimrashid.com/p/a-white-ma...

Probably no one in mainstream media is going to fully investigate/explain what groypers (and their divisions) are because it’s not in their interest to.

Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who has been released, have been informed by ICE that he could now be subject to deportation to Uganda, and he's been told to report to ICE next week, a source confirms to me. A few points about this, because there will be a lot of bullshit about it. 1/

The Tarrant County vote comes after the Texas state legislature passed a new electoral map that would add five new Republican House seats. https://bit.ly/4oQ9ttc

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social

📌"Papers with U.S. State Department markings, found Friday morning in an Alaskan hotel, revealed previously undisclosed and potentially sensitive details about the Aug. 15 meetings between President Trump and Russian President Putin in Anchorage." 📌I mean, holy shit. They can ALWAYS be stupider.

I met with representatives from @vetsaboutface.bsky.social’s South Texas Chapter to discuss U.S. foreign policies that support U.S. veterans and promote peace throughout the world. Thank you for your advocacy!

Texas hasn't received FEMA aid yet. The callous disregard from officials is shocking. I hope Texans remember this in 2026. Ultimately, it seems the priority is enriching the wealthy using funds collected from struggling individuals.
