If we are talking about Peter Thiel—the nuttier version of Roy Cohn, only out—don't speculate about the young model Thiel was cheating on his husband with, who made a rather Russian departure from life, off a high-rise balcony, after crashing Mr. & Mr. Thiel's party and causing a row between them.

Everyday we get a headline like “Supreme Court says it’s fine for President to purge voting rolls however he wants” and then no follow up either from the media or any politician esp the opposition party

President Trump continues to roll out the red carpet for autocrats. First Putin, now Xi. Shamefully wining & dining our adversaries as he kicks our allies to the curb.

It doesn't matter if they are in pain, hungry, thirsty, or kids on board. Some of these transits are more than 30 hrs in shackles. A few flights might address needs but the records show they opt for cruelty. If victims complain, ICE restrains them further.

ICE's use of full-body restraints during deportations raises concerns over inhumane treatment

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have been using a full-body restraint device called the WRAP during deportations.

This was the 28th time #SCOTUS has granted emergency relief to the Trump administration since 1/20/25. That matches the total number of grants during the entirety of the first Trump administration. And both of those totals dwarf the *four* grants of relief (two each) during the Bush & Obama admins.

#BREAKING: In non-Missouri emergency docket news, #SCOTUS *grants* the Trump administration's request for a stay in the SAVE case, allowing DHS to have access to certain Social Security information. The three Democratic appointees dissent.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle. "The state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen."

I wonder why @nytimes.com decided to run with this article. Yes, some of her actions were problematic. Not an excuse but campaigns are high pressure on steroids. But why this campaign? “Angry outbursts, slurs and firings” could be DJT’s logo. Are these things only unacceptable in a woman’s campaign?

So when were all of these irate congressmen and women going to go to their chamber floors to read the Epstein files out loud and into the public record?? Still waiting, it’ll never happen. What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Paxton won’t agree to debate Talarico, and we all know why. He doesn’t want to answer these questions: “Why did you give an Epstein-style sweetheart deal to an admitted child predator? Why were you impeached… by your own party? Why do you own 15 homes on a government salary?” James Talarico

"And so son that's how the 47th president of the United States died, starving to death whilst standing at a podium at the UN in New York waiting for someone, anyone, to applaud his reprehensible speech."

Socialism is good. It’s about ensuring everyone in society, the community, has a chance to can be fed, educated, paidcworknsufficientbto live, health care when required. For that we pay taxes. Those with more, pay more! This is what Hollywood told us was the ‘American Dream’ Clearly they Lied!

After Joe Biden's poor debate performance in 2024, people & reporters were aghast at how the White House covered up his mental decline. If reporters felt deceived, you think they would be more vigilant about reporting Trump's mental decline instead of sane washing his idiocy.
