JK Rowling taking illegal upskirt photos of strangers and posting it on social media was on my 2026 bingo card actually because she's been telling her own followers to do it. Only question now is if she'll be treated like a billionaire or any other person who commits a crime

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

In 1997, Al Gore made a few fundraising phone calls for the DNC from his White House office, and it was a months-long scandal that included the GOP pushing for AG Janet Reno to appoint an independent counsel to investigate.

A CNN investigation found that President Donald Trump has promoted more than 20 companies on his Truth Social account days after buying stock in those firms – at times announcing government actions that could benefit the companies he just invested in. https://cnn.it/44tiGit

The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission has found probable cause that Elon Musk violated the state's election bribery law by promising voters $1 million payouts ahead of the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court election — referring two complaints to the Brown County District Attorney.

The important thing to remember is these people have nothing. They control the money, most of the media, the top 13 social media platforms, every lever of government, and they're getting their ass handed to them in the messaging war They're scared, and they should be, because we're going to win.

Mike Johnson:

THE BARBARIANS ARE INSIDE THE GATE!

We are fighting right now in Congress over whether we're going to maintain our status as a constitutional republic OR trade that in, dismantle the foundations and GO DOWN THIS DARK ROAD OF DEATH TO COMMUNISM.

THAT is the question.

This is the most purely anti-American thing I've ever heard a politician say, but the media is too obsessed with 3 DSA candidates winning local elections in NY to pay any attention I guess.

Fuck the reflecting pool. This has not gotten nearly enough coverage or generated the proper outrage. People thrown in prison for 30-50 years for the "crime" ofmaking zines and belonging to a book club!! This is straight-up totalitarian atrocity. Political prisoners thrown in a gulag to rot.

‘This is injustice’: how leftist zines were used to sentence anti-ICE protesters to decades in prison

Advocates sound alarm after zines were used as evidence to convict protesters of terrorism charges tied to 2025 protest at Texas ICE facility

Wal-Mart calls the cops on a black woman who they think stole something. In the end nothing was stolen, but the cops riddle the car with bullets as she tries to leave the parking lot. Murdering a baby. Wal-Mart is responsible. The police are responsible and justice must be served.

When Trump went to war with Iran, I watched every speech anyone in the administration gave and made a chart of every reason given for going to war "Eliminate ballistic capability" was the #1 reason given: more even than preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon

Grok Is Still Hosting Sexualized Deepfakes of Famous Women

If sexual abuse was really considered a terrible thing, the world's richest and most powerful people wouldn't be abusers. The most valued technology wouldn't produce sexual abuse on demand. And allegations of abuse wouldn't be framed as positive depictions of masculinity. Our culture rewards abuse.

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.
