🚨BREAKING: A group of 25 states is suing the Trump administration, accusing federal officials of leveraging billions of dollars in federal disaster grant funding in an attempt to coerce states into implementing the president’s anti-voting agenda. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

States sue Trump admin for withholding $148M in disaster aid over ‘unlawful’ election demands

While many red states have raced to enact President Donald Trump’s policy goals — even ones that have been blocked by the courts — blue states have persistently refused.

As the screwworm spreads... Remember that Elon Musk’s DOGE cut $15M from a screwworm monitoring program. And we're now learning that Trump’s USDA delayed a project to develop new ways to contain the parasite and held up construction of a monitoring facility. The incompetence is dangerous.

If a Democratic president started a war of choice, spent $100s of billions, blew up international military & economic alliances, then completely surrendered giving opposing nation $100s of billions in reparations while empowering their anti-US regime: Corporate Media would have justly crucified him.

Really hard to imagine becoming a trillionaire and not wanting to immediately liquidate enough assets to give at least a few hundred billion to organizations making the world a better place.

FWIW, if you’re holding high level emergency strategy meetings on how to “spin” the Epstein files, 3 things quickly become clear to everyone: 1) you are in the Epstein files. Significantly. 2) you are a very bad actor in Epstein’s heinous criminal activities. 3) you can’t spin, so you COVER-UP

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

Stephen Colbert had Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen during the final week of his show. Donnie Dotard can't even get Milli Vanilli.
