NEW: Illinois First Lady MK Pritzker, wife of Governor JB Pritzker, announces she’s sending $500,000 to Amy Acton after Vivek Ramaswamy’s truly vile ad featuring Acton’s estranged mom.

In 2012, Robin Williams warned us about Trump’s ownership of pageants like Miss America and Miss Universe, comparing it to Michael Vick owning pet stores: “It’s a catch-and-release program.” We should have listened to Robin.

Merry Christmas everyone and to those in war zones, I wish you health, safety, and luck against your enemies. And to Ukraine from a sane American - kick the Russians asses!

Every Democrat on the Rules Committee voted yesterday to fully release the Epstein files. Only one Republican voted for it. The Republicans are covering up whatever’s in those files—from Donald Trump to Pam Bondi, all the way down.

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

I don't know what this means, but I'm the one who wrote a fully updated, 624-page hurricane response plan at FEMA that took over 2 years of work and careful coordination among state and federal agencies. He could start by studying that.

Today May 15th is Peace Officers Memorial Day. Statements like this are inflammatory, disrespectful and flat out lies. Not only did you betray law enforcement, but you sided with people who attacked us. You don't support law enforcement, you are are a criminal.

If Rational Arguments no longer work in US governance, it’s evidence of a deeper problem in our educational system, which favors what to know over how to think — how to critically analyze, process, & verify information. Seems like a bad time to reduce funding for Public Education.

Hamburger Mary's, an innocent drag show resturant in Orlando sued DeSantis for his drag show law, and they won. The judge said the law does not have specific language, citing the First Amendment. Good job ladies!

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election. Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

🤣 as a retired cop there is no way to substantiate this. It's like trying to figure out the customer base for a drug dealer. Most users are repeat offenders. This is asinine and makes us look foolish.

Attorney General Pam Bondi's claim that fentanyl seizures saved 258 million lives follows a long line of dubious claims from law enforcement officials. www.statnews.com/2025/05/07/p...

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

Does this mean the Republicans that wouldn't vaccinate will Darwin award their way out?

Much of the IT and cybersecurity infrastructure underpinning the US health system is in danger of a possible collapse following a purge of IT staff and leadership at the Dept. of Health and Human Services, four current and former agency workers tell WIRED.

wrd.cmHHS Systems Are in Danger of Collapsing, Workers SayThe purging of IT and cybersecurity staff at the Department of Health and Human Services could threaten the systems used by the agency’s staff and the safety of critical health data.

Because they don't care about women and our president, and Hegseth, back sexually assaulting females - hell possibly males too.

DOD stops offering rape kits to most overseas civilian workers. They are eligible for limited emergency care but DOD specifically issues this memo to exclude rape testing and collection kits now. Why?

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw
