Mike Johnson threatens us with a good time: "They want to exact retribution on the Trump administration every hour of every day for the next two years"

How is this in the interest of the United States when Trump clarified that the Russian diesel was going to be sold on the global market and not here domestically?

Matt Gaetz is facing a new federal sex trafficking lawsuit from two young women who accused him of showering them with money, drugs, and travel in exchange for sexual favors. It's horrifying to think that Trump nominated an accused sexual predator to be his Attorney General.

This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

So, today alone: 12 killed and more than 300 wounded by the Houthis; Iran warned ships away from the UAE; a ship was hit by a projectile off the UAE coast; and multiple drones and missiles targeted airports in Saudi Arabia. Sure we will get a Truth Social later about how they are dying to negotiate.

Trump just said that if Iran nukes America, they should start with Los Angeles and San Diego, which includes millions of his own voters.

Good news: Wilber Garces Perez finally had surgery to remove the bullet that was in his back for 11 days. It took far too long, and it's more proof of ICE cruelty. But we kept up the pressure, and Wilber got the care he needed. Speaking up for our neighbors works.

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

There were still 2 justices who voted in favor of Trump influencing the election, which the Constitution makes very clear he has ZERO ability to do so. I think we all know who those 2 were just by guessing.
