Seems very suspicious doesn’t it. Trump starts war, oil companies profits soar, Trump family fortune possibly soars. We’ll never know for sure, but who would put it past him.

Trump just threatened to withhold federal disaster relief from North Carolina if the state votes Democratic in the midterms. Let me remind you again: no president in history has politicized and weaponized natural disasters the way Trump has.

He's such a phony. His wife's name was Usha Chilukuri when they met. His in-laws names are Radhakrishna and Lakshmi Chilukuri. He was married in a Hindu ceremony presided over by a Hindu priest.

Tennessee governor candidate Jerri Green just CALLED OUT Marsha Blackburn for avoiding a debate. “This is a job interview and everybody is seeing her for the COWARD that she is.” “Show a little backbone if she has one left and stop running into elevators, stop running from press and the airports.”

Trump admitted he blocked energy funding to punish blue states he lost in 2024, including $586 million for Illinois. Courts ruled it illegal. He's still blocking the money. Bipartisan permitting reform won't work if Trump ignores the law. He must reinstate the grants first.

Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”

UPDATE: In addition to hearing Democrats' request for expedited discovery in this case, the court will also consider their request for a temporary block of the Trump administration's actions at Thursday's 2 p.m. hearing.

UPDATE: Democrats asked a federal court to block the Trump administration from: 🔺Pressuring election officials to purge voters from the rolls before the midterms using a faulty DHS database. 🔺Withholding ballots from people who appear as active voters on the rolls. 🔺Setting aside such ballots.

Followers will know I'm far from an uncritical Andy Burnham or Labour fan. But as Prime Minister of an actual government, with a huge majority, I'd say he has more of a mandate than a part-time MP leading a bunch of racist malcontents forever falling out with each other! Wouldn't you?

I think it is important to say about this, that from all the data we have on long covid, that if these people have covid (currently high in the US) around 10% of these people are going to walk away with a chronic, possibly permanent disability, and that should not be an acceptable number to anyone.

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

Everyone has heard of the blonde American swimmer who lost to a trans woman. Fewer know: 1. It was at college, not pro level. 2. Blondie lost out for 4th place. 3. Peer-reviewed expert scientific research show that trans women are at a disadvantage to non-trans women in sport*

There are credible allegations of rape against the president, and evidence his administration has taken steps to cover up his relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile. This story is being covered more aggressively by People Magazine than the NY Times, Wash Post, or Wall St Journal.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...
