BREAKING: A hacker is attempting to breach the US Federal Election Commission's systems and that agency has had to 'temporarily shut down' its web-facing services as a result, according to an email seen by Reuters reut.rs/4zY7fwQ

Self-loathing, externalized.

Starting this week, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says that it now considers it legal to kill a federally protected animal, as long as it wasn’t on purpose. Another recent revision went into effect this week, saying that damaging an animal’s habitat is no longer considered “harming” it.

It's a scandal that the president of the United States is out of his damn mind. It's also a scandal that major news media aren't telling you that, loudly and often.

The Pentagon influencer scandal keeps getting bigger. More partisan online personalities. More government jobs. More taxpayer money. Who hired them, what are they being paid to do, and are military officers violating the UCMJ? This deserves answers.

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

F.C.C. Chair, Brendan Carr, threatened to revoke networks licenses because of accurate coverage of Trump’s war. Another step towards the weakening of democratic institutions, consolidate power, eliminate free press and eliminate opposition.

This is going to be hard for some people to accept, but I think the US government is lying to us about the state of negotiations between itself and Iran.

ICE’s unchecked power won’t rein itself in. If we want real oversight, accountability, and an end to intimidation tactics that target vulnerable communities, we have to demand it—loudly and publicly.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Nixon was forced to resign because he obstructed an investigation into a break-in. Mainstream media covered this scandal relentlessly. Now there's overwhelming evidence that Trump raped kids, yet he remains in the Oval Office and there's crickets from mainstream media. #TrumpResign #EpsteinFiles

WSJ Exclusive: A U.S. intelligence official has alleged wrongdoing by Tulsi Gabbard in a whistleblower complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the matter.

wsj.comExclusive | Classified Whistleblower Complaint About Tulsi Gabbard Stalls Within Her AgencyCongress hasn’t seen the complaint, which was filed eight months ago with the U.S. intelligence community watchdog’s office.

Is it just me, or is mainstream media drastically underplaying the Trump mentions in the latest release of #EpsteinFiles? Why so much focus on Musk and Lutnick but not Trump?

Standard operating procedure for the Senate Democrats: Talk a good game, then surrender all leverage while getting nothing more than vague promises to negotiate over the one thing that matters. Unbelievable. And yet, not.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Congress,with its abdication of any oversight responsibility regarding ICE, is a willing accomplice in today's murder of Alex Pretti. It must act immediately to prevent the next public execution. Stop. ICE. Now. Call, write, visit your electeds and demand action.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

And tonight all the main news broadcasts in america will not even mention that their president is unhinged, demented and clearly unfit to lead anything at all. They are so afraid of the truth.

Trump is holding off invoking the Insurrection Act until we get closer to the elections. In the meantime, ICE will keep inciting violence in an attempt to justify him doing it. Then he will use ICE and the military to suppress voting in blue districts.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."
