NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. with @nytimes.com

Nothing says high-quality news like recurring ads from a gambling site. I guess it could have been worse if they got polymarket or kalshi instead. Another nail in the coffin of the former storied news network

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

NEW: Wisconsin's bipartisan elections commission is advising local officials on managing potential threats amid rising concerns about voter roll purges and federal agents at the polls. The commission said it doesn't anticipate any issues, but want officials to have the guidance they've requested.

The @houstonchronicle.com posted this video and it's pretty jarring. No matter that he was fleeing, law enforcement officers may not use deadly force on someone who poses no significant risk of death or serious injury to others. Deliberately hitting someone with a car is a use of deadly force.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

BREAKING: MS NOW EXCLUSIVE. Republican Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway. GOP Judiciary staff told Schmitt the texts — obtained from the Trump DOJ — were "unvetted." Schmitt still used them.

Struggling to find a time in history when capitalists and oligarchs self regulated themselves. Poorly regulated AI will lead to serious harms. We must demand a better approach (and soon).

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

Susan Collins is a crook. Trump covered up for her. ProPublica has the story.

Trump is a world-historical villain who's putting us all in extreme danger, so put him at the center of this story. Dems can highlight how Trump is actively using DOJ and EPA to help AI data centers steamroll communities, and vow that a Dem majority will stop it. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2154...

Now that Trump has lost at SCOTUS over the USPS rule, he is going to be even more unhinged. I imagine he will try something even more extreme in the coming days. He is on the ropes and the wheels are coming off the clown car but we can not let our guard down.

Exactly one year ago, a then-newly formed advocacy group brought thousands to the Missouri State Capitol to protest a severe gerrymander. That group, People Not Politicians, won two major victories today on its anniversary. Here's the backstory, on All Rise News buff.ly/VcHwwVw

Even the crickets were embarrassed.

Acting by himself (as Circuit Justice for the Eighth Circuit), Justice Kavanaugh has *denied* Missouri's (fairly ridiculous) emergency application asking #SCOTUS to put back into effect its 2026 gerrymander. The Missouri Supreme Court's ruling that reverted back to the 2022 map will stand.

What an insult to the thousands who tragically died on the planes, in the towers, and to those who rushed into the buildings trying to save others. Why lie about where you were? The definition of a true POS!

Trump has found so many ways to use the presidency to enrich himself and his family that we had to narrow the list down. Here are 75 of the most staggering examples of Trump corruption in 2026. And yes, there were more. Read Ron Filipkowski’s full breakdown:

The Hugging Face incident may turn out to be one of the most important milestones/warnings in technological revolution now underway. History may look back at this moment/point to it. Everyone should be reading ab it and thinking about it. Here are a few good pieces: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/03/t...

(Gift Link) A US Postal Service official has alleged that the agency is moving forward with a “secretive, rushed” effort to implement President Trump’s order exerting federal control over mail voting, despite a court order blocking those plans...

So much fun plus who knew Mapquest was still around!

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three Dem. appointees, #SCOTUS has *granted* the Trump administration’s request to freeze a district court injunction that had blocked the mail-in ballots executive order. But Trump’s EO remains blocked by a different injunction in a different case—at least for now:

So why was Natalie chosen over Rubio and many others to ride in the secret getaway truck and plane? Why is she so important? Presidential preferential treatment for some unstated reason. Or maybe she is the only one willing to change his smelly diaper? Questions we should all be asking. 🤔

The case before the Hawaii Supreme Court did not warrant such an impassioned condemnation of the U.S. Supreme Court. But Associate Justice Todd Eddins and his colleagues wanted to send a message to the country. Read it.

The liars can’t keep their lies straight. They are all pointing fingers. This is the eventuality many of us have been waiting for, hoping the rest of America can no longer hide from the corruption, politicization, and complete ineptitude. All the wheels are coming off the clown car.

This video on the rise of Russ Vought is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

Subtle. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

Shocked but not shocked that R’s continue to give Trump space to play war games with Iran. I fear the consequences of their kowtowing will be disastrous for much of the world. It is sad that these jokers might only act after it is too late. A true embarrassment for America.

In this section of his speech, Trump is lying about the intelligence community's findings about China's actions in the 2020 election. This is the actual IC finding, declassified in 2021. www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/d...

I’m in Paris to investigate the scope of Epstein’s international sex trafficking ring and how it intersected with the world of modeling; to reveal who was a part of this dark world; and to see if the French judicial system is the key to real accountability.

Lindsey Graham - I am still human so I feel for his family. But when we look at his character, all I see is a man who lost his way somewhere and made a deal with the devil. Inconceivable that he was once a close ally and friend of John McCain. Ethics can not and should never be situational.

I stepped away for 24 hours only to learn we are now at war with the Islamic Republic of Japan. Crazy that Japan became an Islamic country overnight and we decided to attack them. 🤡

Trump: "We had 11 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan"

Trump couldn’t resist interfering, now turning a potential great story of triumph against all odds into one of corruption, tarnishing the US and the mens soccer team forever. It is classic Trump where his delusions of grandeur turn into piles of shit, algae, toxic chemicals and the decline of the US

I would have opted for watching a live stream of paint drying or water dripping from a faucet than watch Trump and July 5 fireworks paid for by our tax dollars. What a disgrace and disservice to our 250 year history.

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

If Trump made 800M+ last year from his crypto coins, that means people lost 800M+ as his coins are worthless. Let’s focus on his fleecing of everyday Americans! He is the greatest grifter ever.

Ask yourself or your friends- what are you more afraid of, an authoritarian/fascist movement that seeks to subjugate you and take away personal freedoms or a democratic socialist that is trying to improve the lives of everyday people.

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Right now the biggest threat to this country are not a handful of House candidates in New York, it is the president of the United States who is trying to destroy American democracy."

📬 USPS is rushing to carry out Trump’s wishes on restricting mail voting, which could disrupt mail voting and hand the Trump administration private voter information. Here’s how we can fight back: https://bit.ly/3SPmUhD

Pete Hegseth is removing or blocking the promotions of all military officers who he has determined would not participate in an illegal pro-Trump self-coup (auto-coup) in 2028. You can believe me now or believe me in 2028. Either way, stop seeing what Hegseth is doing as random.

It is has become increasingly ironic that we call these 6 people in black robes justices when all they do is inflict harm. We are in need of some real justice!
