American institutions (and individuals) have more often than not punished Indigenous children and Black and Brown children— actual children— as adults, while excusing the behavior of white men. But hearing a white man calling his actions at 53 a "youthful indiscretion" really takes the cake.

A U.S. appeals court rules against the Trump administration ahead of the midterms, rejecting its bid to block California from counting mail ballots from more than 20,000 registered voters the federal government alleges are likely noncitizens.

nbcnews.toAppeals court hands Trump administration setback in push to block California votes by alleged noncitizensThe ruling said the DOJ failed to give a lower court judge an adequate opportunity to consider the California case and therefore it would be premature for the appeals court to weigh in.

The second good news this afternoon! Vuvic's defeat is particularly important since one of the main catalysts for his ouster was his corrupt deal allowing the Trump family to tear down national monuments to erect tacky playgrounds for the ultra-wealthy.

So much for the myth that Republicans are 'good for the economy.' The only rationale for voting Republican this time around -- with Trump "on the ballot" (in his own words) -- is if you value bigotry and hate so much that you are willing to forego economic wellbeing.

The same man who recently decided to condemn hundreds of Ukrainian civilians to die from Russian attacks by disabling Ukraine's ability to counter Russian drone and missile attacks has now been given the role of regulating all satellites in orbit. No bid. No law. Just a gift from Trump and Hegseth.

As Trump proclaims that he is happy oil prices are high, adding "I don't give a damn, I'm gonna say it: We're making a frickin fortune," remember that the 'we' refers to Trump, his family, and his donors. 99% of American people are suffering, the Trump only cares about himself and his donors.
