“I’m staying in the race because, thanks to President Trump paving the groundwork, sexual assault and violence against women is widely and openly accepted now, so there’s really no reason to drop out.”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 21h agoTAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...
Listen to Senator Warnock. This economy is a disaster of Trump’s own making. Make sure that your members of Congress know that you’re an informed voter, and that you’re fed up! 📱202-224-3121
It’s past time to BAN CONGRESSIONAL STOCK TRADING! No member of Congress [or the White House] should be trading stocks. Period. The American people deserve to know their representatives are working for them, not corporations and stock portfolios. It’s time to ban Congressional stock trading.
Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"
They are the Epstein Party. Every single one of them.
Some of these policy decisions cannot be undone. Once this ecosystem is impacted, its thousands of years of carefully balanced life will be destroyed. All so somebody can make a few extra bucks.
NPR@npr.org · 23h agoFar out in the Pacific Ocean, there are tiny islands that few have seen. The oceans around them are full of marine life, from thriving coral reefs to sharks and tuna. The Trump administration is rolling back protections for these places. NPR got a rare visit to a remote area to see what’s at stake.

These are some of the last pristine ocean ecosystems. Now, they're losing protections
The largest conservation areas in the U.S. are in the Pacific Ocean, where tiny islands are epicenters of biodiversity. The Trump administration is now opening their waters to commercial fishing, sparking a battle over some of the country’s most pristine ecosystems.

New Yorkers had to subsidize the $117 million that the NYPD paid out for misconduct lawsuits in 2025 alone, even though most of them were never personally abused by a cop. Where's your worried op-ed on that one?
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Blanche is actively ignoring multiple judges’ rulings - including the continued coverup of the Epstein files, yet GOP Senators are convinced because he told them he’d (sort of) stop using Trump’s slush fund??

Mario Díaz-Balart, a Republican from Florida, chairs the appropriations subcommittee that wrote the bill declaring Ceuta and Melilla as Moroccan. Díaz-Balart told reporters that the two cities were a weak point for Spain and accused PM Pedro Sánchez of not being loyal enough to the US.

I mean this in all seriousness, this is a severely mentally ill & delusional person who not only should be removed from office under the 25th amendment, but he should be in a psych ward. This is pure insanity on so many levels. He lives in a fantasy world. He is unwell & has lost touch with reality.
Corruption?!? In this administration?!? NO FREAKIN WAY!!

ProPublica@propublica.org · 2d agoNEW: Two government watchdog groups have demanded an investigation into whether FCC officials violated ethics requirements by accepting luxury gala tickets from Paramount as it sought federal approval for its $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros.
The next time a climate change denier comes at you with that excuse:
The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
That Trump was willing to imprison an American Olympic athlete over a disgusting lie should scare the hell out of ALL Americans.
Dan Patrick’s priorities are out of line with Texans. It’s time for new leadership in the Texas Senate. Vote for Vikki Goodwin as your new Lt. Governor of TX.
Just think of how sick, twisted and demented you have to be to post this as president knowing it is all a lie because you don’t want to admit you hired an unqualified pool guy - the act of typing this knowing that every word is false.
This has to be the most unique and effective propaganda a country has used against a superpower in history. They roll this out quickly and it’s all sorts of bad for one side…

Those are SUBSTANTIAL losses to industries in a number of states Trump needs to hold seats in. $343 million in wine, and I know that Kentucky bourbon sales were also crushed. And I can assure you the booze is still flowing and the cars are being sold off the lots, so the losses WILL continue.
Ricardo Hernandez-Navarrete is only 18 years old, but he says he was subjected to horrid conditions at six different ICE detention centers in the span of two months. "One day I was a senior in high school." "The next day, I was in detention."
