ICYMI — J.D. Vance won’t commit to people who attacked cops not getting money from Trump’s slush fund heist for his insurrectionist allies

WATCH: “How can you argue you’re cleaning up corruption when the president seems to be talking up stocks he owns?” J.D. Vance runs cover for Trump’s corruption with the excuse that Trump not executing trades himself means he can’t be pumping stocks to enrich himself. 🤔

Here’s @jemelehill.bsky.social adding some context to the NAACP call for athletes to boycott schools in the South where racist Republican redistricting is happening:

And that's that. Judge Reed O' Connor now has in his possession the medical records of countless trans youth in Rhode Island that includes everything from private therapy notes detailing every aspect of their lives to their prescriptions and diagnoses.

No, the Rhode Island hospital cannot disobey O 'Connors order. They already complied. Also, they would be in contempt and the judge can order federal marshall's to enforce them. This is a federal court, not a state one. bsky.app/profile/esqu...

Breaking: the 1st circuit denied the emergency injunction request by the Rhode Island child advocate. As a result, Rhode Island children's will have to turn over medical records of trans youth to judge Reed O' Connor in Texas within the next 45 minutes. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Jeffrey Clark defeated Savannah Martin in the Republican primary for Cumberland County’s 88th House District, according to unofficial election results from Cumberland County.

Stelson's victory sets up a re-match against incumbent Republican Rep. Scott Perry in November, who she lost to narrowly in 2024. The 10th District includes all of Dauphin County and parts of Cumberland and York Counties. penncapital-star.com/election-202...

LOL—LMAO even: “Mr. Ahmadinejad was injured on the war’s first day by an Israeli strike at his home in Tehran that had been designed to free him from house arrest… He survived the strike, they said, but after the near miss he became disillusioned with the regime change plan.” Gift link:

Multiple clips of Ed Gallrein talking about “farting in church” while on the campaign trail. This is who Trump endorsed against Thomas Massie.

This is infuriating! It took him losing his seat to do the right thing.

First question out of the gate to Blanche is from Sen. Susan Collins: Has the DOJ ever used the Judgment Fund to pay claims that have yet to be brought against the US, based on the settlement of a completely unrelated case?

Todd Blanche on the J6er slush fund: "By the way, it is true that this is unusual. But it is not unprecedented. It's not limited to Republicans. There's no limitation on the claims."

VAN HOLLEN: Will individuals who assaulted Capitol Hill police officers be eligible for this fund? BLANCHE: Anybody in this country is eligible to apply if they believe they are a victim of weaponization

One major drone assault on Moscow of the type every city in Ukraine has had hundreds of times and the people "who can endure any sacrifice for the motherland" are talking about giving up.

Amazon’s Alexa can now produce full AI podcasts, complete with fake hosts. The company said it partnered with major news outlets to keep the podcasts accurate.

This is insane. The terms of DOJ's slush fund appear to transfer control of $1.8 billion beyond US government entirely. Unless I'm misreading this, that would circumvent Congress *entirely* and put the money outside of *any* constitutional and/or legal constraints ofany kind. Straight up theft.

This is the Secretary of Defense campaigning in KY while on duty being paid by US taxpayers. It is a completely lawless gangster government in every area at all levels.

Big announcement on March 3. No part of this ever happened.

It truly is astonishing how many low character reprehensible creatures have been elected and appointed to the highest positions in America through the endorsement and backing of Trump throughout our federal and state governments.

Trump’s special envoy has arrived in Greenland - the dipshit Governor of Louisiana. The clown show buffoonery continues all over the world.
