Do not comply.

Make no mistake here. This is Trump objectively taking the side of Iran, a nation we are currently at war with, over the Americans in Minnesota because he hates the governor and the fact that a majority of voters there did not vote for him

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

In a post on X, Zelensky revealed intelligence showing a "clear correlation" between Russian satellite surveillance of U.S. Gulf bases and subsequent Iranian attacks, which have killed at least three U.S. troops.

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

Let me get this straight Trump's claim is that in a Georgia election run by a Republican governor and Secretary of State, with a state legislature dominated by Republicans, during a year where bunches of Republicans were elected Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock somehow cheated the system Mmmkay

Ossoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling GA voters illegitimate...he was humiliated as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"

Whatever their supposed mission, ICE has become an army of paramilitary irregulars, tasked with perpetrating violence in the general direction of immigrants and anyone who defends them. That’s what the masks are about, they’re a weapon of terror. Secret police thugs, not accountable to anyone.

BREAKING: BIDDEFORD, Maine (AP) - Homeland Security secretary said man killed by ICE in Maine was not the target of warrant, Maine Sen. Angus King says.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

The social contract of “rule of law” is long gone. I hope people stop pretending it exists. I also hope people stop saying we are sliding into authoritarianism and fascism. We are there, folks. If they don’t want to follow rules, you don’t have to either. I hope you don’t.

Sotomayor: "The Court gives the President a power unknown even to the English Crown against which the Founders revolted, elevating him above his once-coequal branches by transforming a duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed into a license to act in defiance of those very laws."

I was pleased and a little amazed when Brazil got rid of Bolsonaro. I was more recently pleased and very much amazed when Hungary got rid of Orban. I am VERY pleased and fully ecstatic at how Ukraine has turned the tide on Russia and weakened Putin. It can and WILL happen here.

Re the Moda Center, from experiencez in Florida, it is a mistake to give large amounts of taxpayer monies to sports teams for major facilities upgrades, especially when existing agreements put the onus on team owner. What happens = they don't stop asking for subsidies. Plus $ better spent elsewhere.

First to MS NOW: Senate Democrats are calling on the Postal Service not to move ahead with new mail-in ballot regulations that, they say, will "establish President Trump's control over federal elections." Democrats fear the USPS could be transformed "into a federal election administration agency."

Senate Democrats sound alarm over Trump’s Postal Service plans for mail-in ballots

The entire Senate Democratic Caucus has signed a letter pressing the postmaster general for answers about a Trump executive order that could place the Postal Service at the center of an election battl...
