Gerrymandering and voter suppression is how a fascist minority party attempts to cling to power. We need more Newsom/Pritzker and less Schumer/Jeffries. Find your spine, Democrats.

This is a cover-up. Five Florida lawmakers were blocked from entering Alligator Alcatraz—told it was “unsafe.” But Trump, DeSantis, and Noem toured it last week just fine. So why can’t lawmakers do their legal oversight? And if it’s too dangerous for them, what about the migrants trapped inside?

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Such degeneracy. El Salvador is a country best known for human rights abuses and death squads. Now our top strategic city-state ally.

Leavitt: "President Trump will welcome President Bukele of El Salvador for an official working visit. They will discuss El Salvador's partnership on using their supermax prison for Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gang members and how El Salvador's cooperation with the US has become a model for others."

Elon Musk is targeting Social Security claiming there is widespread fraud. Donald Trump is targeting Canada claiming there are secret fentanyl labs. It's *all* lies. It's just George W. Bush telling you Iraq has weapons of mass destruction again as a dishonest pretext for doing what he wanted.

Jon Stewart invited Elon Musk onto the Daily Show. Musk said he'd only do it if the show would appear unedited. Stewart and the Daily Show agreed -- calling Musk's bluff. Musk has now chickened out and now refuses to go on the show.

Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."

Historians sarcastically call German citizens who claimed during and after World War II not to have supported the Nazi regime, but remained silent and did not resist it in a meaningful way while it was in power, "Good Germans." Will history sarcastically remember you as a "Good American"?

WSJ editorial board: "But as with the war, Mr. Zelensky didn’t start this Oval Office exchange. Was he supposed to tolerate an extended public denigration of the Ukrainian people, who have been fighting a war for survival for three years?"

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance. Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Here’s a better peace plan for Ukraine. “Russia, you’ve already sustained twice as many casualties as the US did in ww2. Leave Ukraine or suffer four times more, and collapse as a country in the process” Done

It's very peculiar that trump says he wants to root out corruption, but his Department of Justice is determined to get the corruption charges against corrupt Mayor Eric Adams dropped, so he can corruptly pursue a quid pro quo wit Adams. The whole deal is corrupt AF.

You are up to date.
