NEW: A Republican U.S. Senate candidate said he's recruiting off-duty police officers to serve as poll watchers in Detroit for the 2026 midterms — and suggested they could flash their badges at voters. Intimidating voters is illegal. Interfering with someone's right to vote is a federal crime.

Two scientists, Fiona Smaill and Zhou Xing, have developed AeroVax a nebulizer that turns vaccines into a breathable mist you inhale for just 2 minutes, delivering immunity directly to the lungs where many viruses first enter the body.

At least 16 American military sites across eight countries have been damaged in Iranian strikes, making up the majority of US positions in the Middle East. Some are virtually unusable now. The damage includes high-value targets, raising questions about America's footprint in the region.

This is such a sad an embarrassing jacket Kash Patel is wearing. I can’t imagine any previous FBI director ever wearing something like this, let alone for a TV interview.

I still cant get over this. How you steal somebody's life... (he was 28 years incarcerated for a crime he DID NOT commit) He gets out, gets a law degree. Runs for office.... WINS... and then they steal the job

I think Sarah Kendzior is correct: Trump is the figurehead of a transnational crime syndicate who wants to break the US in pieces to steal everything. The volatility helps cover up the ongoing theft, and the bigger the crisis, the faster they can bankrupt the US government.

"The math only adds up if you're trying to build a police state." Miles Taylor, former DHS chief of staff, tells Rachel Maddow that the system of immigration prisons that Donald Trump wants to assemble is much bigger than the stated purpose of the prisons; unless Trump has some other use in mind.

I think this is 100% correct.

And Obama never said a word about the 11 assassination attempts against him.

Their host mother, Gail Baptiste, rushed out to show the ICE agents her guardian paperwork, documentation made under the advice of a lawyer and signed off on by a judge. The agents shrugged, informing her that the paperwork meant nothing to them. “They’re out of status," an agent said.

This morning at Hancock High, seniors headed to the floor of the gym to receive their caps and gowns, each from a teacher they had chosen. Stacy Campbell waited there, holding her student Israel Makoka's cap and gown. But he wouldn't come. He and his brother, Max, 15, had been taken by ICE.

Our brave Stephen Miller is using his pregnant wife as a human shield.

Offcourse....The FBI director ran for his life and left his girlfriend behind holding the hand of another man.

MAGA accounts tweet in unison about the need for a White House ballroom following WHCD incident

FBI Director Kash Patel was charged with public urination in 2005 after he drank to excess at multiple bars and decided it was a good idea to relieve his bladder in public during his walk home. This lack of basic judgment makes you wonder if drinking to excess has been a hidden problem for decades.

Doomscrolling rewires the brain by triggering a "negativity loop" in the amygdala (fear center) and suppressing the prefrontal cortex (decision-making center), creating a "popcorn brain" that craves constant, stimulating, and distressing news. This habit creates new neural

Phang: In one of those “you only believe it if you read it” moments, Politico says there are Republicans on Oversight who support the idea of convicted felon Trump giving a pardon to Ghislaine Maxwell. The fact that that is even being considered by House Oversight Republicans should disgust you.

1. The central claim in the indictment of SPLC is a lie. The DOJ/FBI accuse SPLC of lying to donors about seeking to “dismantle” extremist groups while secretly funding them. But the funds were used to infiltrate & help law enforcement dismantle these groups. Kash Patel knows this is the truth…
