The Justice Department plans to send 1,000 monitors to watch voting during the midterm elections in November, a historic figure for a Republican administration, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said

Mike Johnson says the quiet part out loud. While Republicans continue to fund a war of choice, tax cuts to the wealthy, and Trump’s personal slush fund, they’re putting what actually helps out working families like Medicaid on the chopping block.

BREAKING: RJ Reynolds, one of the largest U.S. tobacco companies and maker of Camel and Newport cigarettes, donated $5 million to Trump. Days later, company executives reportedly met with him at Mar-a-Lago to push for looser flavored vape regulations, after which the FDA changed policy, per NYT

Wow. "Whites only" is back in style.

How does James Comer have Hillary testify but not Melania?

#NFL Free Agency Moves 2026! - Titans and Raiders are desperate for upgrades, after bottom-5 finishes in 2025 - Packers had to sit this year out, with the Parsons trade last year - Great values underrated here; e.g. the Murray signing negates the Vikings losses

Pope Leo XIV rejected claims that God justifies war and prayed especially for Christians in the Middle East during a Palm Sunday Mass before tens of thousands of people in St. Peter's Square. n.pr/4bVFD10

This is the problem with paying an average ish QB. 10 QBs have an APY of $50M+ per @overthecap.bsky.social. And you have to have great results in order to make that type of contract worth it. Average QBs need great surroundings, which isn't feasible at that price #NFL

The way to own it.

Starting a war so you could invoke emergency war powers

Would you be surprised to hear that none of the leading American political reporters are talking about this? They are acting like this never happened. Because it reveals the state of mind of our Commander in Chief. And that’s a taboo subject in America.

In this Pentagon briefing, Hegseth, the civilian at the key node of the chain of command between the president and the combatant commanders, is mocking the press and Joe Biden in this press conference about the largest war the United States has launched in decades.

The Taliban are burning musical instruments in the name of morality. It is an assault on all culture

Homeland Security is said to have sent Google and Meta hundreds of subpoenas for information on accounts that track or criticize ICE.

The number of children in federal custody has climbed sharply since President Trump revived the practice of detaining immigrant families last year. Hundreds of children have since been held at a detention center in Dilley, Texas, where families describe poor conditions. trib.al/c0Wufj7

Immigrants can’t vote unless they have become American citizens.

“the Trump administration has rolled out a campaign across departments that draws on images and ideas borrowed from right-wing and white nationalist circles.” What they are doing with taxpayers dollars ↘️

Given the fact that Trump has deemed he can invade a country if he doesn't like the way it's run, Mexico, Canada and Greenland must now start preparing for invasion unless the US Congress gets serious and impeaches and removes Trump from office.

With this latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%. It's the guns!!! :(

The president is “starting to feel the pressure,” claimed the former Metropolitan Police officer who was beaten during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Someone tell him if he backs down from this threat he can count it as another war he ended

if anyone hears of any World AIDS Day gatherings happening to honor everyone we've lost and to protest Trump's decision not to observe it, please let me know

The State Department has warned employees not to use government funds to mark Dec. 1 as World AIDS Day and to “refrain from publicly promoting World AIDS Day through any communication channels.” nyti.ms/3KhPDrA

Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.

Smart move to alert the police and smart politics to publicize it. This is serious.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

An opposition party would be nice.

QB Play (thru wk9)! - Sam Darnold is the MVP, while the Jets are in the midst of a rebuild - Ward & Gabriel continue to struggle, while Dart has been solid - Williams, Daniels, & Nix have been mid - Mac Jones is a serviceable backup, to say the least - Mariota will keep the Commanders offense afloat

Jimmy Carter Walked The Walk.....

UNBELIEVABLY TRUE.

Just so you know. If Trump can tear down the entire East Wing with no oversight or restrictions, he can do the same to the entire White House.

NEW -- Donald Trump has anointed himself judge, jury and executioner of anyone he chooses to call a "narcoterrorist." Which has some legal experts worried: If he can summarily kill people on the high seas, what's stopping him from doing the same at home? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

#NFL QB Play (thru week 3)! - Daniel Jones at 1, like we all predicted - Not a good start from Browning - Wilson has been meh, but the Giants are winless, so they're turning to Dart (tied for best rookie QB projections)

Today’s episode of The Ezra Klein Show. Trump Is Building His Own Paramilitary Force The journalist @radleybalko.bsky.social‬ explains the mechanisms Trump is using to create a personal army. open.spotify.com/episode/3OTs... youtu.be/UcTZ_en5FTM?...

Trump didn't call in the National Guard when his foot soldiers were beating police officers, trying to hang Mike Pence, and disrupting the peaceful transfer of power...but has called the National Guard because his DOGEbag pal was beat up. That's how much Dear Leader really cares about crime in D.C.

You spit at cops, they can hit you, Trump brags. I assume the DOJ official in charge of setting those boundaries is this guy?

When will we finally admit: the Gaza death toll is higher than we’ve been told . ‘We have no idea how many people have been killed in Gaza but I would bet my own life that the number is far higher than the 60,000 number the media uses.’ By Arwa Mahdawi www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Should we do this wherever there's a school shooting?

As we watch this unfold, worth reading SDNY's press release when Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced. She's a fucking monster: Ghislaine Maxwell Sentenced To 20 Years In Prison For Conspiring With Jeffrey Epstein To Sexually Abuse Minors www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr...

New article is up, giving some bold predictions for the #NFL season! open.substack.com/pub/samburch...

It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

IRS just cleared churches to endorse candidates without losing tax-exempt status, blowing up 70 years of precedent. Faith now becomes a direct political weapon, officially sanctioned. Expect supercharged election sermons and a new flood of dark money cloaked as “faith.” This changes everything.

If you pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit with Trump, and don’t have to admit fault, just to get his FCC to approve your sale… … congratulations, you paid a bribe, not a settlement.
