This will be unconstitutional, but he probably starts with 3 votes (Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh).

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

“I've been censored plenty of times… They've taken down my account completely multiple times…” Digital creator Hamzah Saadah explains how he pushes through censorship and backlash on pro-Palestinian content on social platforms including TikTok and Instagram.

Since his meeting w/ Trump in Washington, Colombian Pres. Gustavo Petro “has been pretty quiet around the issue of Palestine, around the issue of the bombings in his country’s waters & the issue of Cuba,” Drop Site’s José Luis Granados Ceja said, pointing to what he sees as as a lack of regional...

Ukrainian forces regained Danylivka, Nechaivka, Stepove and Verbove in the Huliaipole direction. Yehorivka, Kyrpychne, Pryvillya south of Vyshneve and Berezove remain in a gray zone amid ongoing fighting. Clashes continue south of Verbove near Novohryhorivka toward Kalynivske and Zlahoda. #Ukraine

Doesn't this feel like they knew all along this would happen? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/lutni...

I am allowed to destroy a country. I am even allowed to impose a destructive embargo on a foreign country. I can do whatever I want – Trump. Trump is completely insane.

I can remember back when presidents wouldn't steal tankers of oil and put billions of dollars into a Qatar bank account under their personal control. Those were the days

Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?

'...A report by Public Citizen last year found that the Trump administration had halted or dismissed 90 investigations against lawbreaking corporations within the first 100 days of being in office...'

Hassett on new study from NY Fed showing 90% of tariff burden is being shouldered by US firms & consumers: "The paper is an embarrassment. It's I think the worst paper I've ever seen in the history of the Fed system. The people associated with this paper should presumably be disciplined."

The genocide might be out of the great burning eye of the media, but it is still continuing. We need a new UN - one with a standing army and NO vetoes

The volume & geographic distribution of protest nationwide during year 1 of Trump's second term was extraordinary.

I'm stunned these distinguished public servants would lie!

Even the Cliff Notes descriptions are damning. How do these mutants live with themselves? How do they defend this?

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today. It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files. Just wow.

This is a fascinating graphic, showing how critical non-news elements have been to the NY Times' spectacular growth. You can see why the Washpost, which is basically a single-product new offering, can't begin to keep up. (And then add in those boneheaded decisions by Bezos and Lewis.)

What if we had an entire foreign policy based on the petty resentments and insecurities of mediocre weak men?

Liberals say that the United States has gone from being a democracy to being a dictatorship. They're wrong—it's gone from being a republic to being a dictatorship.

Lawyers say Trump can't outlaw burning the American flag. But could he outlaw burning the Confederate flag? We talked to three Federalist Society law professors.

People actually voted for this man because he would be the Peace President.

One of the least covered and most concerning stories of the last few weeks (there are so many to chose from) Is the DoJ hiring J6ers to a division it is calling the "weaponization working group". This is crazy even for MAGA. newrepublic.com/post/197516/...

Three years ago, a corrupt Supreme Court seized our rights and overturned Roe v. Wade. The resulted is just what we predicted. Women dying because they can't get basic healthcare. Doctors afraid to treat patients. We will not stop fighting until abortion rights are restored.
