A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

Missouri voters reject ballot measure limiting their power to amend state constitution

Notably, the proposed amendment would not have affected constitutional amendments that the legislature put on the ballot. State lawmakers only wanted to make it harder to pass a voter-led measure, not...

If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

Pure scum wrapped in fake piety.

Things would be 100 times better if Kamala Harris was President right now and if you still refuse to acknowledge that fact then you are a lost cause.

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.

Judge Wise finds that ICE coerced a 20-year-old Tongan man — admitted legally to the country three years ago — to sign a document accepting deportation, despite no criminal record or immigration proceedings against him. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

MacFarlane: I think it's an anti-establishment era we may be entering here. Look at all the different ways in which people are bucking against establishment. If El-Sayed is somebody who channels people who don't want the establishment to run and to reign, he's going to have a big night…

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

Jeezus f**king Christ... In essence that ruling says that any time your side doesn't win an election, just ransack the capitol, and everything will be okay...

It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.

Happy birthday to an actual President, Barack Obama. 💙

Seems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.

Trump's guy is losing to someone who isn't even running anymore because his name is Amir Hassan and though he's an evangelical Christian, MAGAts assume he's Muslim. Who could've seen that coming?

Folks on the other site are up in arms about the brief "administrative" stay Judge Burroughs issued in the Somalia TPS case—because, they claim, this kind of relief isn't a thing. Of course, when Texas judges issued much longer "administrative" pauses of Biden policies, these folks were ... silent.

A new emergency application in an immigration case provides an important opportunity for Justice Barrett to enforce her skepticism about open-ended "administrative stays."

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"

Donald Trump hates real America (the majority who live in cities).

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

Considering that most cities are blue, he is just saying he hates America

I will never get used to a president talking about his own country’s biggest cities this way

Trump's line of BS today is that he's actively negotiating a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz, which is controlled by the United States
