Trump Administration to Restart Global Entry Program

The Trump DHS just waved the white flag on their Global Entry shutdown. It took less than a month for their "security theater" to collapse under the weight of its own incompetence. They manufactured a crisis, realized they couldn’t manage the fallout, and folded. A total embarrassment.

Trump reportedly gifts cabinet members and White House visitors with Florsheim shoes Some administration officials snipe about having to wear middling footwear instead of their upmarket favorites

Former activist and City Councilmember Ronnie Eldridge dies Eldridge was a public figure in New York City for decades.

Our deepest condolences to the family and friends of former Council Member Ronnie Eldridge, a fearless advocate for New Yorkers.

In this time when marginalized communities are under attack, and a lawless war rages, Ronnie's moral compass is deeply missed.

Sen. John Thune delivered a blunt “reality” check to President Donald Trump on Tuesday, warning that the president’s latest scheme to force through a controversial voting bill simply doesn’t add up in the Senate.

This is all part of his plan to fuck with the 2026 midterms and exact revenge on those who stopped him from trying to overthrow the 2020 election. When people ask me why Trump is America’s enemy, I always start here. He’s at war against OUR elections. He’s our enemy.👇

For months, we warned DOGE's access to Americans' private data was ripe for abuse. And here it is:

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

The dictator's new shoes? Trump demands his subordinates wear the same footwear. With revelations about a bizarre footwear fetish, the president joins a long line of autocrats throughout history by insisting that his subordinates copy his style — or else.
