At least one US president cares to denounce this attack.

Oil prices have dropped to their lowest level since April 2021 — and it's testing oil executives’ patience.

This is yet another unbelievable example of where we are. All for a venal, egotistical, viciously incompetent buffoon.

My congressman,Sam Graves, hasn’t had a townhall since 2012. We are having them in his absence.

Meet Anthony Schmidt, a 16-year-old with #autism who turns #miniature #cars into life-sized works of #art through his incredible #photography

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

The poll is from the Libertarian Cato Institute.

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

I Think She Has A Conscience….

"Donald Trump's attacks on gender are an attack on my Christian beliefs! Look at Galatians 3:28!"

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

SCOTUS: Facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia JUDGE XINIS: Tell me what you're doing to return him DOJ: We need a week XINIS: You have 3 hours DOJ: No There's supposed to be a hearing in 10 minutes.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Did you change your name when you got married? The SAVE Act will make it harder for you to vote.

MTG dabbling in insider trading now too

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

Major Tariffs on pharmaceuticals to be announced. Expect health and life expectancy to plummet.

⚡️ Ukraine summons Chinese diplomat to explain Chinese citizens fighting for Russia in Ukraine. Foreign Affairs Minister Andrii Sybiha said Ukraine has summoned China's charge d'affaires to demand an explanation after having captured two Chinese nationals fighting alongside Russia in Ukraine.

Love this idea. Iceland, Greenland and Canada as part of the European Union. 🇪🇺 Talk about a powerhouse.

Trump has damaged America forever. We're now viewed as an unreliable partner - business can never trust him and any government policy - our allies don't see us as an ally anymore - our enemies are emboldened. Trump destroyed our soft power advantage.

Mind if I play through?

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.
