Russians stopped at a café in Georgia, where a sign on the door reads: "By entering our restaurant, you agree that Putin is a war criminal and respect the territorial integrity of Georgia, Ukraine, and Moldova." They didn't know "what to make of it" and thought it was a joke.

WATCH — Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social on Trump’s insider trading: “If you pay Trump $100,000 a month, he will give you early access to White House announcements on economic and trade policy. None of this is normal, and a lot of this is illegal.”

UPDATE: Today 35 former federal judges filed a comprehensive opposition to Donald Trump’s expedited motion to stay in the case of Donald J. Trump v. Internal Revenue Service. Simply put, members of the legal system are trying to put a stop to Trump's ongoing corruption.

Three consecutive polls show James Talarico narrowly ahead of Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race. The latest: Texas Southern U. has Talarico up 47%-45%. In the past week, a Fox poll had Talarico up 51-48 and a Texas Public Opinion Research survey found Talarico up 45-40.

On nights like this it’s kinda wild that @abbydphillip & @CNN don’t feel the need to mention @ScottJenningsKY’s podcast bosses at Salem Media are running a pro-Israel influence operation — and that he gets paid by them while he’s on CNN trashing Bernie, @AbdulElSayed, etc

Tillis said Blanche had to meet with Epstein survivors. The survivors said he was condescending, rude & constantly interrupted them. They said he was just checking a box. Tillis wants slush fund order modified & IRS settlement gone. Blanche creates a sham order. Tillis wants performative nonsense.

They refused him medication, brushed off his complaints, and let him die while detained at Delaney Hall. On that day, a young girl lost her dad—and a piece of herself. Heartless monsters tried to cover up his death, but her voice WILL be heard. Justice for Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo! 🎥Statusacoup

Critics say the indictments against 15 people aim to intimidate and silence dissent against the Trump administration.

They're leaving the Senate in about 5 months and they still don't have the backbone to stand up to Trump.

We have a criminal president.

Long-shuttered Appleton, Minn., prison to reopen for ICE detainees

The 1,600-bed prison is expected to open this fall. Contractors started repairs on the facility last year.

“Last winter, Minnesotans banded together and rejected the harm caused by ill-informed, unplanned and costly federal immigration overreach. As DHS takes steps to reopen Appleton as a federal facility, our response should remain the same: Minnesota is not the place for this.”

Cutting Medicare Part D subsidies isn’t “fiscal discipline.” It’s a prescription for higher drug costs, more untreated illness, and greater long‑term healthcare spending. Seniors deserve stability, not surprise hikes in essential medication costs. #RepublicanMedicareCuts

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.

60 Minutes Epstein Banking Story Vanished After CBS Ousted Sharyn Alfonsi, Dem Senator Reveals

Wyden revealed he was interviewed for the show in a Senate report alleging the country's largest banks turned “a blind eye” to Epstein's financial activity

You could have voted no on Blanche. Idiot.

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

Yet, it didn’t 🤬 and here we are facing fascism.

Cool, cool. We’re basically out of ATACMS and PrSM, and we used half our *global* TLAM supply… all for the Strait of Hormuz to still be closed?

The tariff refunds you paid for went out in June. What did you get besides higher prices? Not a damn thing. finance.yahoo.com/economy/poli...

Why do we bother obeying the law and paying our taxes when the President does neither? He is playing us all for fools!

You do realize that the President of the United States is STILL trafficking human beings and making a hefty profit off it. Right?

We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

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!"

This past weekend, Truth Social’s $100,000 subscription service for early access to Trump’s posts went live. Last night, I introduced a bill to crack down on this corruption and ensure all Americans have free and equal access to public announcements from government officials.

This is so true. Texans you have to turn Texas back to blue. You have to want better.

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

YOU COULD HAVE VOTED NOT TO CONFIRM HIS LAWYER AS AG! You literally had that power, you coward.
