JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff. GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him. (This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)

Trump reposted content from 16 accounts last night that turned out to be from foreign-based ‘MAGA’ users. meidasnews.com/news/trump-r...

The president is falling asleep durring a White House cabinet meeting with each member praising him for his resilience. What are we doing America? This is so embarrassing.

I used to think Republicans fell in line because they feared Trump would attack them in a primary election. Now, I realize it's much worse. They are physically afraid of Trump's supporters and the risk of violence.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

The family of a Colombian man believed to have been killed in a US strike in the Caribbean has filed what’s believed to be the first complaint against such attacks with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).

BREAKING: as predicted, Republican Skandalakis has moved to dismiss the Fulton County RICO case against Trump et al.

Well, well, well.

Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

💙💛Tooniacs, you’ve done something extraordinary. Over $900,000 has been raised for Ukraine! 💙💛 That’s not just a number — it’s trucks rolling with supplies, drones scanning the horizon, families receiving protection, and brigades strengthened. 1/2

Mamdani walked in with an agenda. Trump walked out repeating it.

BIG NEWS: Trump says he has signed the bill to release the Epstein Files. Now all eyes are on how he and the Department of Justice handle the release.

You don't often see this at the end of a whistleblower story:

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

REPUBLICAN REP. MASSIE: “I vote with my party 91% of the time… But when they're protecting pedophiles, blowing our budget, starting wars overseas — I'm sorry, I can't go along with that.”

Short-term legal win, long-term political loss.

Let’s try something. Since congressional Republicans oppose extending the #ACA credits, let’s look at how costs are about to go up in the reddest congressional districts in America. We’ll start with the reddest district in America, Alabama’s Fourth Congressional District (Robert Aderholt-R).

This is acting like a pure money laundering operation. They reported losing another $54 million last quarter. It has never made money. Investor money is just flying out the back door faster than in comes in to enrich a lot of shysters and grifters.

House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia has requested that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the now-former Prince, appear before Congress for a transcribed interview about Jeffrey Epstein.

Republican politicians can commit all the crimes they want and victimize as many people as they want because right after they are convicted Trump pardons every single one of them. Every Republican politician is above the law and can do whatever they want. Total immunity.

Sure grocery prices are crazy and nobody can buy a house but Trump solved 9 wars today, got Madagascar to give us 4 trillion dollars, is building us a ballroom and triumphal arch, and renovating his jet from Qatar while planning invasions of Venezuela and Argentina.

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand. There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise. Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

President Zelensky confirmed that Ukraine’s Patriot air defense capabilities have been strengthened, thanking Germany and Chancellor Friedrich Merz for fulfilling prior agreements.

“Don’t get lost in the facts,” says the oily liar.

Trump’s America: FBI Director is taking govt jets to watch his girlfriend sing, president is in Palm Beach holding Great Gatsby balls after golf, we are murdering people in boats while refusing to show proof of guilty, govt is shut down, airports are a disaster, prices are up.

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

We all need to fight Trump's plan for voter suppression and election subversion. We need to recognize that it has multiple dimensions. We need to educate ourselves and our communities and then take action.

Holy shit. Midnight massacre at ICE.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare. And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”
