The View from Halfway Down

A former Miss Switzerland beauty pageant contestant has accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her at New York's Plaza Hotel in 1993, according to her account to Congress. Trump has denied the allegations.

🆘 Ms Rachel: “Moms - #ICE broke the wrist of a 20-year-old student who has special needs on his way to school. They had the wrong person. He’s a US citizen, not that it would be okay if he wasn’t a US citizen. They left him on the side of the road with no medical care..

Perfect

Another history lesson on how the Palestinians have been prosecuted for years

Ms. Rachel on losing partnerships and views for showing her support for Palestine: “That doesn’t faze me because the kids gave me the platform. I’m going to stand with them no matter what. People on the ground in Gaza are risking their lives all the time to help kids. I can do it from Manhattan.”

Oh this is good. @theonion.com you’ve outdone yourself

$16 million later, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was supposed to be open by July 4. Instead, it looks like this.

It's impossible to ignore, Trumpism attracts a type.

ICYMI — “The padres catching coordinator was taken by ICE at an airport… Oswaldo Pirela has been in 🇺🇸 legally for 10 years… Remember when they told you they were going after criminals and the worst of the worst? Turns out they’re actually just going after brown people.”

Can somebody who's not an evil piece of shit please trade for Luka? He has worse ownership history than a haunted doll.

I’m buying Prada now, specifically because of Saint Levant!

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

The most bombed countries in the last 50 years are all Muslim. But somehow Muslims are the terrorists?

Omg it’s the best description for the past year and a half

HOWLING

There is no world in which this is okay.     Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 🧵

An Alabama police department detained Wendy Hernandez Reyes during a traffic stop, leading to her deportation and separation from her 3-year-old son who was killed. When local law enforcement acts as immigration enforcement, they tear families apart and harm our communities.

Ken Paxton is one of the most corrupt people in politics. Texans should be sending him to prison — not the Senate.

A gallon of gas now costs $5 in Connecticut. Diesel is $6. This is ruining people who live paycheck to paycheck, small businesses, farmers and the trucking industry. And there is only person who has caused prices to be this high: DONALD TRUMP.

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count
