North Carolina legislative leaders approve a Trump-endorsed redesign of U.S. House districts aimed at adding a Republican seat.

We’ve received a lot of questions about Trump’s demolition of the White House East Wing. Here’s how the process is supposed to work:

Washington Republicans want to spend $0 on making health care affordable, but they support: – $200M for Trump's ballroom – $172M for Kristi Noem's private jet – $51M in taxpayer-funded political ads – $10M to promote Trump's Scotland golf course

Just a reminder that — in the middle of a shutdown — House Republicans are on a paid vacation solely to avoid releasing the Epstein files and lowering your health care costs.

Trump now wants U.S. taxpayers to pay him $230 million because he claims he was treated unfairly in the past.

That awkward moment when someone slags off one of your mates in front of you and you know they’re bound to hear about it.

As the term "protective custody" and mentions of rounding up mentally ill and homeless people is appearing in the media, please do remember that Dachau was initially for "protective custody". www.nationalww2museum.org/.../dachau-m....

Oh… well this should be interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell, longtime accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, just asked the Supreme Court to overturn her sex trafficking conviction, while her attorney is also reaching out to Trump.

"People should know that creating fear to suppress dissent in the name of patriotism or national security is McCarthyism." Georgetown professor Dr. Badar Khan Suri recounts his harrowing experience after he was unjustly detained by ICE for exercising his First Amendment rights.

They are not meeting with the victims, they are meeting with the trafficker. Think about that. Believe the trafficked victims.

This is what you voted for⁉️ Detainees treated like violent criminals. Moved from cage to cage at 3 a.m. and sleep-deprived. Only 3 minutes to eat. Bathrooms three times a week. No towel to dry off after a shower and growing fungus on their bodies. Listen to this once. Then listen to it again.

More from the interview…

We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors. Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher. Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Maria Farmer, speaks out.

"Throughout, he repeats numbers like a toddler who just discovered counting: “1000%,” “600%,” “1500%” drug price reductions, numbers that sound impressive until you realize they mean absolutely nothing. There is no such thing as a 1500% reduction unless Pfizer is paying you to take their meds"

Everyone expected #Trump’s name to show up in the #Epsteinfiles. The real shock is how many people in power are bending the law, shredding the truth, and silencing the public to protect him. The cover-up is the scandal now. open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

DOGE can now view and edit a USDA system that manages billions of dollars of government payments each year. Farm loan application records often contain sensitive personal information like someone's financial history. Our government is playing fast and loose with our privacy and our livelihoods.

BREAKING: LAPD didn’t just “detain” someone. They surrounded him, beat him, and jumped him — like a gang. On camera. On horses. While he screamed for help. Unarmed. Cornered. Alone. If that’s not state violence, what the fuck is?

Understand this: Trump’s attacks on the NIH aren’t just hurting NIH workers and its HQ in Maryland — they’re grinding lifesaving medical research to a halt nationwide. We cannot let them get away with this assault on public health.

RFK Jr. unilaterally removed the CDC’s recommendation for COVID-19 vaccination in healthy children and pregnant people. Now, private insurance companies and Medicaid will no longer be required to cover the cost of these vaccines.

There’s not a single congressional district where more than 15% of Americans want to cut Medicaid. Yet 100% of House Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid. They’re not representing the people. They’re trying to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Congress literally created an Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the expeditious removal of aliens who are designated as terrorists, under a preponderance of evidence standard. I think problem isn’t the time it would take, but the fact that the government would have to produce actual evidence
