They had contracts for prison labor at these camps?? Before they even bought them? www.projectsaltbox.com/p/contracts-...

Some very good news out of a Texas federal court: Alex Jones doesn't have standing to appeal a Bankruptcy court order that placed InfoWars' assets in state receivership, meaning they can be licensed or sold to us. More to come, obviously, but we're almost there.

“.. the programme has not provided a single dollar of cover.” @financialtimes.com #Hormuz www.ft.com/content/eaba...

The Trump administration has deported 15 Latin Americans to the Democratic Republic of Congo, despite U.S. court orders protecting them from deportation to their homelands.

An FBI agent visited the home of Milwaukee County's elections director earlier this week in an attempt to question her, the county clerk has said. It's the latest sign that the Trump admin is probing the results of the 2020 presidential race in Wisconsin.

Trump is expected to end his suit against the IRS in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion slush fund to "compensate allies" who he claims without evidence were wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin — many being Jan. 6 insurrectionists. It would be an unprecedented use of taxpayer dollars.

MORE: Adani's lawyer went to Trump's DOJ and made a proposal: If prosecutors dropped the charges, Adani would be willing to invest $10 billion in the American economy and create 15,000 jobs.

President Donald Trump has given his son’s hunting pal the reins of the Food and Drug Administration.

Rod Stewart to King Charles on his visit with Trump: “Hello, sir. May I say well done in the Americas. You were superb. Absolutely superb. You put that little rat bag in his place.”

Lawyers for Pete Hegseth argued that military retirees were subject to freedom of speech restrictions because of their connection to the military, and that if they didn’t like those restrictions, retirees could forfeit their pension and benefits. Let that sink in. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/o...

Yikes! Trump Media just reported a Q1 loss of $405.9 million. #$DJT www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Arch...

Rep. Roger Williams on the SAVE America Act: "We want the right people voting"

oh my god -- Sean Duffy on Fox & Friends this morning announced that he spent parts of *7 MONTHS* (more than half a year!) on a roadtrip with his family to celebrate America's 250th anniversary

I’m having really bad flashbacks to a very dark time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Jim Crow 2.0

"Patel has distributed his self-branded bottles while on official business, including during at least one FBI event. He and his team have transported the whiskey using a DOJ plane, including when he went to Milan during the Olympics in February."

I hope @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu has someone investigate whether Kash Patel violated EU import law by sneaking a case of whiskey into Italy. As Trump makes clear frequently, duties are very serious things.

Remember that company that Trump paid a billion dollars so that they *wouldn't* build offshore wind farms in the US? They're doing amazing shit over in Europe. Floating turbines are so cool!

We haven’t even begun to understand the Pandora’s Box that this war has opened. @cfr.org www.cfr.org/articles/aft...

The big breakthrough peace negotiations are going well.

RED FLAG: The Trump Justice Department has demanded the identities of every worker who staffed the 2020 election in Fulton County, Georgia, according to court records. The demand targets employees of Fulton County elections as well as volunteer poll workers, who likely numbered in the thousands.

I’m shocked that Trump would so callously and recklessly expose people to toxic substances.

Kushner and Witkoff have everything covered. Keep things in the family.

The FAA predicted Elon Musk’s Starship would cause “minor or minimal” disruption. Then the rockets exploded twice in three months over busy airspace. Flight data reveals how many planes scrambled to protect passengers and avoid burning debris. (Published January)

“This is not a happy story in terms of the security of the U.S.,” said Tony Sager, who spent more than three decades as a computer scientist at the National Security Agency. “This is not security. This is security theater.” By @reneedudley.bsky.social

This is a real post from the president during a war while gas prices are at a 4-year high and his disapproval is at an all-time high in some polls.

“I would also note that under Barack Obama, 197 general officers were removed,” Mr. Hegseth said in testimony before the House Armed Services Committee. “So this is not something specific to this administration.” The number Mr. Hegseth gave has no basis in fact. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/u...

Two can play that game.

The even stupider sidebar to this story: Gretchen Whitmer had an "86 45" wood cutting on her desk during an October 2020 TV interview. The Daily Wire and Michigan GOP now want the DOJ to probe whether she was threatening Trump's life. Ask yourself: What would it mean to "86" Trump in 2020?

For those of you who have never worked at a restaurant, I'll save you a click '86' is an old code for restaurants that simply means they're out of something 86 the soup 86 the pale ale It doesn't mean to kill or threaten anything, you massive snowflakes

Every day Iran refuses to surrender subjects them to another day of brutal meme attacks from Trump on Truth Social. I’m not sure how much longer they will be able to withstand it.

But he can’t go anywhere so he needs a ballroom bunker fortress. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

Lindsey Graham says they are going introduce legislation that’s going to authorize 400 million dollars to be spent on building the ballroom: We pay for it by offsetting it with customs fees. The sooner we get the ballroom built, the better it is for the country.

You never pay for war today. You pay for it tomorrow and forever. Such an accounting reveals just how cheap it is to negotiate and sign on for even suboptimal agreements relative to the dispute. That’s because war is horrendously expensive.

In 2019 Trump wanted to hold a G7 summit at his Doral resort. But there was and outcry and he dropped the idea. Now he’s holding a G20 summit at Doral and the only controversy is over whether Putin will attend. This is the normalization of corruption. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The DOJ not only indicted the group @splcenter.org that infiltrated the KKK, they indicted them because they infiltrated the KKK. I’m donating today to the Southern Poverty Law Center, of which I want half to go to help fighting racists and half to fight the KKK’s legal dept, aka the DOJ and FBI.
