YouTube has removed one of my videos because I reported that women can still access abortion pills. I shared *factual & medically accurate* information about women's health—yet the platform says I'm "facilitating the sale of illegal drugs"

WATCH: The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first six months of the second Trump administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases. Full story:

The Texas legislature rammed through a gerrymandering bill at the request of Trump. Virginia actually voted in favor of redistricting to counterbalance what Texas and other Republican-controlled states have done. Yet only one is considered a "power grab." Oligarch-owned media in a nutshell.

The individuals referenced here are adjudicated terrorists. They were found guilty of conspiring to use force against their own government to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. A conservative, Trump-appointed judge applied terrorism enhancements to their sentences.

In case you were wondering why Tesla self-driving is so dangerous, this is a senior member of the team developing it. He claims he has no idea how to handle approaching a road that's completely obfuscated by smoke. Hint: the answer is to slow down and proceed with caution, which this Tesla didn't.

Let me get this straight: Democrats had a plan to fund most of DHS (without giving ICE more money) this whole time. But Republicans blocked it because Trump told them to. Then, after weeks of chaos at the airports and TSA workers missing paychecks, Trump and Republicans caved. The Art of the Deal.

The Times editorial board was fine with urging readers not to vote for Mamdani and support Cuomo on the grounds that Cuomo was a ruthless operator who got things done. In a parallel universe, the Mamdani coverage would be that he is weak and feckless, unable to assert leadership. He can't win.
