NEW: Don Trump Jr.--after helping pick top Pentagon officials to join his dad's administration--has now become an investor and advisor to Pentagon drone builders.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Can someone explain what we're going to do with the East Wing on the back of the $20 bill?

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

Fed Judge Sara Ellis, who has forbidden ICE troops from using riot control weapons in Chicago has ordered Border Control commander Bovino to appear in person to inquire into him personally violating order, by tossing a tear gas canister into a crowd. 1/ storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Understand this: most Black people see the Graham Platner controversy through a completely different lens than most white people— our lived experience. So stop telling us it’s no big deal. It’s no big deal to YOU. 1/2

This isn’t the first instance of an insurrectionist pardoned by Trump going right back to committing alarming crimes—and it likely won’t be the last. “Even if I am hated, he must be eliminated, I will kill him for the future,” the suspect allegedly wrote. trib.al/PYU8nwN

Seems like an important detail

Americans should be concerned that this abuse of power and lawlessness could come to their city or town next. Federal agents have detained children, including American citizens, deployed tear gas near elementary schools, and zip-tied children snatched from their beds at night.

Trump’s new Time cover, drew comparisons to a 1963 portrait of Nazi industrialist Alfred Krupp. The Daily Beast called it “chilling,” noting its visual language mirrors one of the 20th century’s most psychologically charged magazine images. www.rawstory.com/trump-time-c...

Douthat is trying to get us to miss the point. The White House isn’t an architectural project and its “beauty“ isn’t subject to flighty faddy architectural judgment. Its beauty is in history and in a national ethos of modesty and Republicanism—which once meant the opposite of monarchism

The premier of Canada’s most powerful province — and arguably the country’s most successful politician today — has gotten under Donald Trump’s skin again.

The Trump administration has repeatedly blamed offshore wind farms for whale deaths, contrary to scientific evidence. Now the administration is quietly abandoning key research programs meant to protect marine mammals living in an increasingly busy ocean.

Nobody has ever denied that tariffs have a use. But, to quote Reagan, "We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends — weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world — all while cynically waving the American flag."

Workers this week demolished the East Wing of the White House, originally built in 1942, to make room for construction of a ballroom that President Donald Trump had said wouldn’t impact the building, reports @jennifershutt.bsky.social.

Commentary: Some of our largest hospital systems are reaping millions of dollars from marking up discounted drugs meant for our underserved patients and funneling those profits into high-end suburban facilities, where they charge wealthy, fully insured patients full price and pocket the profit.

The man's ignorance, arrogance, irresponsibility and greed killed a few hundred thousand people between 2018 and 2021 and nobody seemed to care. Why would a few dozen blown up people in the Caribbean bother him?
