The Trump administration is bulldozing environmental review laws to rush the conversion of warehouses into mass immigrant detention centers and courts are starting to fight back. They’ve already purchased warehouses in at least 10 locations across the country.

PAY UP! Republicans DEMAND Congress fork over $400 million in taxpayer cash to build Trump's ballroom following the WHCD incident. Plus: Iran's FM goes to Russia for a meeting, a new Epstein lawsuit, and more. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT!

Let's put it this way: these are not the sorts of things that happen, or with which a regime concerns itself, when everything is going swimmingly.

A win for Virginia voters! A judge rejected a Republican effort to block the state’s voter-approved redistricting amendment, denying the injunction request and leaving the measure in effect.

I am seeking the appointment of a Special Master to assist in getting the DOJ to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. It's time that the lawyers in the Trump Regime actually follow the law.

“Oh, do you think he was referring to you?” Intentional or unintentional this was pretty savage

These MAGA sycophants one by one are saying, “We need a ballroom.” They think they can hijack the news cycle and make people focus on that with everything going on. You realize when you push this kind of transparent gaslighting, it just makes people more angry.

Amazing work, everyone. Merrell has joined the Conservation Alliance to help save the US Forest Service and they’re not alone. Several other brands have stepped up too. Your pressure is working. Thank you!

35 U.S. Senators sent a letter to the USDA demanding answers about the dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service. Led by Senators Klobuchar, Heinrich, Merkley, and Padilla, the letter calls out the March 31 reorganization as a threat to the agency’s ability to do its job managing 193 million acres of

DHS is reportedly buckling under more than 10,000 equal employment opportunity claims tied to Kristi Noem’s chaotic ICE hiring blitz.

The safety and well-being of the American people is not his first and highest priority? Shouldn't it be as president? He swore an oath that evidently means nothing...

German Chancellor Merz: It is quite obvious that the Americans have absolutely no coherent strategy whatsoever. There is a sense that a whole nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, particularly the Revolutionary Guards.

There you go: Trump wants "sock puppet" Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair so he makes his DOJ "drop" the criminal investigation against Jerome Powell, which was the only thing keeping Tillis from voting Warsh through. The complicity is so brazen it's disgusting. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Today, we honor and remember Virginia Roberts Giuffre on the one-year anniversary of her passing. Her courage has allowed countless survivors to be seen, heard, and to be believed. Sending love to her family on this difficult day—and to all the survivors out there still on this journey for justice.❤️

The Supreme Court hears arguments tomorrow in Monsanto v. Durnell a case that could gut the ability of Americans to sue pesticide makers for cancer.

Former FBI agent Dan Brunner: From what we saw, the suspect wasn’t even close to breaching security. He still would have had to go down two flights of stairs and get through additional secured doors. He didn’t even reach the magnetometers before being stopped.

Dana, you know you can criticize the president in the United States of America, right? It's a Constitutional right regardless of who is in office. Seems like something a journalist who enjoys the First Amendment should understand.

Today, hundreds of Utahns came to the Governor’s mansion to say NO to an ICE warehouse detention center in Salt Lake City. No Topaz 2.0! No concentration camp! Not now. Not EVER! #ICEout #ICEwarehouseResistance #GTFOICE

Remember, the SAVE Act is a voter suppression bill. If GOP Senators are weary of him, light up their switchboard to drive the point home. Keep contacting them until they kill this bill for good.

A top White House official says the FBI director is likely next on the chopping block.
