Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

Accountability Commission hears shocking testimony about ICE in Illinois The commission, tasked by Gov. JB Pritzker to investigate alleged misconduct by federal agents amid the Trump administration’s ‘Operation Midway Blitz’ campaign.

Despite the lies the President and his administration want to tell, you can see and hear what happened for yourself when ICE ran rogue in our state.

No one is above the law — the Illinois Accountability Commission will hold them responsible.

BREAKING: New York City reports the lowest levels of shootings, shooting victims, and murders ever recorded for the first two months of a year. Major crime is down nearly 8% citywide, burglary hit a record low, and retail theft dropped 25%

James Talarico’s victory in the Texas Democratic Senate primary shows the power of a class-focused political message. His campaign emphasized economic populism and working-class unity rather than traditional Democratic Party messaging or identity politics.

Hopefully, the system doesn't crush him.

Didn't think "wing men" could fly so heavily armed, but I didn't consider FATO.

Gotta stock up on vittles from your favorite vendor of white chicken on white bread because they are closed on Sundays, as "someone else's" religious rights lets them. Can't let Type 2 shakes foul up your aim at those you've been told to hate, right?

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. his rant in response to his tariff defeat at the Court was arguably the worst moment of his Presidency. ..

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

Not merely a lie, also one recited with actual malice aforethought.

You might think that the inhumane conditions at America's concentration camps is because of this administration's usual lazy incompetence, but, no, it's because of this administration's usual vicious cruelty.

I'm reminded that Ari Melber's show is so awful, I'm surprised when he brings on blood-thirsty Nazi mouthpieces blaming dead men for not carrying a first aid kit with them. You see, producers not trying to beat a dead horse wouldn't book her, but Ari SO sucks.

Attention Nevada Senators! Miriam Adelson isn't paying attention right now, so you might be able to actually vote for the American people rather than her donations this time.

Her choice in men sucks. They guy pictured is currently awaiting his trial for MURDER, having (allegedly) beaten his cocaine-supplying buddy to death for trying to give some snow to Rodimer's teenage stepdaughter, who was at the same adult party paid for by a MAGA contributor friendly with Lewndwski

How to help the resistance to ICE in Minnesota — and beyond What Minnesota’s immigrant communities need from you now.

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

The more you know... 🌈🌟

A Craigslist listing in the Boston area offered free tickets and $50 per seat to attend screenings of the Melania documentary on its opening weekend. The offer requires attendees to remain in their seats for the entire film.

Nothing could embody the Trump ethos more, and it's goddamned nauseating.

Senator, no apologies for the MANY confirming votes for Trump's current cabinet members? Nahhh, didn't think so.

Miriam's stock fell 17% today; the numbers you seem to count most often are donations rather than MAGA violations, so you already know this.

Go back and apologize for Stephen Miller.
