Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.

It is as strong a principle as exists in constitutional law that the government may not single out people or groups for worse treatment based on their viewpoints. It’s virtually never ok. U.S. Investigated Left-Leaning Groups During Minnesota Immigration Crackdown www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/u...

Let me get this straight. The DOJ is indicting someone who allegedly broke through security with intent to kill leaders including the VP & Speaker of the House. Has EVERYONE forgotten that Trump pardoned convicted felons who stormed broke into the Capitol with intent to kill the VP & Speaker? 1/

#NoKings in Tampa. Don’t know how many thousands were there, but there was at least one Tyrannosaurus rex riding a motorcycle with a resist flag.

An immigration judge has ordered the removal of Liam Consejo Ramos, a Minnesota toddler who was detained by ICE. The politics of citizenship might seem like the detail that distinguishes Liam’s story from the stories of our kids. But his innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable.

Isn’t there something more important he should be doing?

Trump posted a photo claiming it shows a bald eagle in the United States killed by a windmill. In reality, the image is of a dead falcon in Israel from 2017.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

BREAKING A federal judge that the Trump admin's policy targeting pro-Palestinian students for deportation violated the First Amendment. His blistering, 161-page ruling starts with a threat he received in chambers and his response.

“I was just following orders” won’t cut it.

Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.

It’s idiots like Florida’s surgeon general who advocates “know the risks “ in a state where raw milk is not to be sold for human consumption, who set the table for these tragedies.

A woman who was 20 weeks pregnant fed her toddler son raw milk. He contracted Campylobacter and then passed the infection to her; she progressed to sepsis, and had a miscarriage. She is suing the business that sells the raw milk, saying she didn’t know the risk. Don’t feed your kids raw milk.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

Saying demonstrably false stuff like this is why nobody believes anything Leavitt says.

Leavitt: "Nobody knows what it means to accomplish peace through strength better than President Trump. He is the one who came up with that motto and that foreign policy doctrine."
