πŸ‘€ ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida.

The govt is now arranging their return under court order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Anyone else have the feeling that Trump has already floated the idea of the Navy escorting tankers through Hormuz (to the Navy) and they told him no, but he can’t admit that the threat is not eliminated?

A statue depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein styled like Jack and Rose from Titanic appeared on the National Mall today, showing the two figures standing on a ship’s bow with their arms outstretched in the film’s famous β€œKing of the World” pose.

The president had his DOJ seizing ballots while he is trying to force Republicans to enact new voter suppression laws. Our democracy is in danger.

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

πŸ”΅ Democrats flip another seat in the New Hampshire State House.

Democrat Bobbi Boudman wins a special election in a Trump+9 district, after losing the same seat by 14 points in 2024. A 13-point Democratic overperformance.

Mockler: I also find it very ironic that Republicans are so welcoming to any form of bigotry but the moment that bigotry is targeted towards them, they freak the hell out

What happens when a mad king discovers that the war he launched is not going to go the way he envisioned it? Asking for a friend.

To be clear, Karoline Leavitt is nothing more than a white supremacy mouthpiece paid entirely to be exactly like North Korean state media. She’s there to ensure that real information never gets out to the public.

Fmr Trump spokesman: "Let's be consistent."

BTC: "I am being consistent-- that's the problem. I watched Trump on the campaign trail disparage all these other politicians who engaged in wars in the Middle East. And yet here we are. We have dead Americans, rising oil prices, and a war with no plan."

Told y’all Elon’s DOGE team weren’t data analysts.

They were hackers!

A whistleblower says a DOGE engineer stole Social Security data and put it on a thumb drive, including personal information on hundreds of millions of Americans.

People need to go to prison for this shit.

Jacobs: The Trump administration doesn’t give a shit about the Iranian people… They are literally deporting people back to Iran who fled the brutal Iranian regime.

He doesn’t care about human rights anywhere β€” not here in the United States, not in Iran, not anywhere else.

Yesterday, the White House used Call of Duty frames in their Iran war hype video.

They are hyping the prospect of war like an exciting video game.

Yes, I know this administration has no bottom.

No class, no integrity, no honor, no decency.

Yet they never cease to shock me.

DOJ Examined Men in Epstein’s Orbit Accused of Sex Crimes. None Were Charged. Several women told investigators after Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death that they were sexually abused by his associates. The Justice Department has said the files include unverified allegations.

"Multiple women alleged to prosecutors that they were sexually assaulted by high-profile associates of Jeffrey Epstein, according to the recently released Epstein files. None of the men were charged."

Trump claims he has been exonerated of any wrongdoing in the Epstein scandal.

Without any inquiry, investigation, trial or jury verdict.

Despite being in the files more than anyone else, being his bff for years, and allegations he raped a minor.

Conclusion: He doesn’t know what exonerated means.

House Oversight's Robert Garcia: "We are now asking and demanding that President Trump officially come in and testify in front of the Oversight Committee. He appears in the Epstein files β€” next to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell β€” almost more than anybody else."
