NEW: Pro-voting advocates say North Carolina's student-voting restrictions stem from a pressure campaign by Trump ally Cleta Mitchell, who complained in a deposition that "college students can just roll out of bed, vote, and get back into bed.”

There was a time when the United States looked down its nose at the countries in South America for being lawless banana republics. Who's the banana republic now, bitches?
Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."
Trump went after Tish James and James Comey because he can’t stand anyone who tells the truth and holds him accountable—and today, the judge made it clear that the courtroom isn’t his personal revenge tour.
Complete Lunacy. This from a mom who, due to immune issues, chose to vaccinate with only (dead) polio and tetanus at five years of age. Always with intention of doing full vaxing later. The problem is ignorance, and, if I were a young mother today, I would vax earlier. These idiots
Terror at a Chicago daycare facility: "The agents had followed the woman as she parked and chased her inside the daycare and preschool."
“It’s some of the most chilling video footage I have ever seen" said one local elected official.

Love that Newsom and his team protecting voting rights and trolling hilariously, but watching him speak last night right after hearing Mamdani’s was really illuminating. Mamdani was passionate, authentic and relatable. Newsom sounded so scripted and pandering in comparison. We need a better option.

Companies donating money towards the construction of the White House ballroom may get their names etched inside the White House.
So far Google, R.J. Reynolds, Booz Allen Hamilton, Lockheed Martin, Palantir and NextEra Energy have donated tens of millions of dollars to the ballroom fund.
This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.
As many of you know, this week Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel under pressure from Trump. That is censorship, plain and simple. And when corporations act like this, we all pay the price, because free speech is a pillar of our democracy.
Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy.
Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation.
If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.
Ted Cruz says that FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s statements about Jimmy Kimmel were “dangerous as hell” and compares them to the kind of rhetoric a mafia boss would use.
Cruz says he believes Republicans will come to regret using government power in this way.
We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was: a man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted Black Americans the right to vote was a “mistake,” who after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi claimed that “some amazing patriot out there” should bail out his assailant,
...and accused Jews of controlling “not just the colleges – it’s the nonprofits, it’s the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it.” [ME: won't give attribution for fear of endangering the author] The US is officially honoring a Racist.
Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening.
It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president
I said this at the time but I’ll repeat: I think this is a good thing. Force Republicans to abolish the filibuster. Then the next Democratic Senate won’t have one.
#ICYMI: At least 11 Democratic New York elected officials were arrested by DHS after demanding access to an ICE detention facility at 26 Federal Plaza.
This marks the latest instance of Democrats being detained while attempting to inspect such sites.
No you will NEVER satisfy a bully, and particularly one with a history of Mafia ties. They feed on evil, on a sadistic need to control; to step on you and then mash you under their BOOTS. That makes them joyful and the laugh as they watch you wither.
Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

I just wrote a post on ABC comment page. I am selling my Disney Stock NOW. In part I said: "Because the powers that be (you all are complicit) want a "DEAL."
