Poll: Confidence in the Supreme Court drops to a record low The latest NBC News poll shows that the percentage of voters with a "great deal" or "quite a bit" of confidence in the court is at the lowest ebb since the question was first asked in 2000.

The percentage of voters with significant levels of confidence in the Supreme Court has dropped to its lowest point since NBC News began polling on the question in 2000, according to the most recent survey.

U.S. Company Taken Offline by Cyberattack as Revenge for Missile Strike on Iranian School Devices were remotely wiped by the hacking group. The company says the attack is now over.

The Iran-linked hackers who hit a Fortune 500 company today say it was retaliation for the U.S. missile attack on an Iranian school that killed at least 175 people.

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

The White House is too lacking in planning and forethought, too stifled by obsequiousness, and too driven by the need to score quick, political brownie points that would allow "the Don" to strut around.

God Formally Notifies Mike Johnson That he is Going to Hell The Almighty said that Johnson’s support of Donald Trump’s war in Iran was the β€œlast straw” that sealed the Speaker’s eternal damnation.

Sometime satire isn't just satire, but the truth. See today's Borowitz.

Police responding to reports of active shooter at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Local law enforcement agencies are responding to reports of an active shooter at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield.

Those cheering what is going on in the Middle East forgot one pesky thing--the consequences Jewish Americans will face right here in our own backyards. It didn't just start due to Iran. It started long, long ago, escalating in 2016 with that whole very fine people thing.

One piece of chicken.
One piece of broccoli.
One tortilla.
One other item.

Apparently the one other item is "Liver". RFK says eat liver, it's a cheaper cut of meat.

Here's a new one: ICE detained a man in Utah who had been arrested for a suspected drug sale ... that turned out to be dried pinto beans.

Utah case was dropped but the man, who arrived in US as a minor and has deferred action, was transfered to ICE.

Psst: My book is now available in the U.K. today.

I spent two of the happiest years of my life as a graduate student there, studying economics and philosophy.

Trump is losing. That’s why he’s going to extremes. That’s why he threatens the mass murder of 9 million people with nukes so casually.

How can a civilized society ignore the torture of children?

How can good people let toddlers & babies be incarcerated &deprived of clean drinking water?

If you care, do something.

Start by calling Congress & telling friends about this. 202-224-3121

This is the third government shutdown since Trump took office.

TSA agents are unpaid, some sleeping in their cars, while his war is torching about $1 billion a day.
ICE detention is still draining around $10 million a day to run centers where people are disappearing into a broken system.

Trump on whether Operation Epic Fury will impress the Nobel Committee: "I don't know. I'm not interested in it."

This from the man who cold-called Norwegian diplomats, threatened to invade Greenland over the snub, and accepted someone else's medal. Totally not interested.

A message to Kentucky voters, don't be fooled. Massie is working for you, Trump is working for Trump. He has delivered in absolutely none of pre-election promises and is waging war. That wasn't Massie's work.

Trump allies are quietly buying up the information space.

They own most social media platforms and will soon own a massive chunk of traditional television networks.

Handing the entire public discourse over to a few partisan billionaires is incredibly dangerous

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's war on Iran:

NO PREPARATION
NO PLANNING
NO STRATEGY
NO DEPLOMACY

Just brute military force.
MASSIVE MISTAKE.

This is what happens when our government has incompetent Trump loyalists in charge of the decisions.
