Raw Story: Trump family's flagship crypto venture has preliminary conditional approval to become a bank. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency bureau gave the approval on Friday. Money laundering is a lot easier when you own the bank. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

A month after Air Force Major Jason Watson was arrested on the Capitol steps calling for Trump and Vance’s impeachment, D.C. prosecutors have declined to pursue the criminal charge against him. He still faces action from the Air Force. Stay critical. Stay informed.

Trump, his family, and his Republican enablers have built an economy for millionaires and billionaires only. While they all make bank, millions of Americans face bankruptcy. All because of Trump’s self-serving tariffs and endless wars of choice. November can’t get here soon enough.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Just an appreciation post for this guy. The COVID pandemic would have been far worse without Dr. Fauci's decades of experience as guidance through it.

A mother gave the government her fingerprints, tax records, and DNA to get her 6-year-old daughter back. She did everything officials asked. ICE used that information to find and arrest her. A child welfare system became a deportation tool. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Talarico: When I get tough questions, I answer them. When Ken Paxton gets tough questions, he runs away, literally runs away from reporters, from voters, from anyone asking hard questions. If you've given an Epstein style sweetheart deal to a child predator, you should have to answer questions.
