People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.
Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat
It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.
New records show a guard searched Jeffrey Epsteinβs name minutes before his body was found. This follows thousands in unexplained cash deposits to that guardβs account days prior. These aren't coincidences; theyβre receipts. We need a full independent investigation now.
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

The Jan. 6 plaque honoring police was just installed in the Capitol β at 4 a.m.:
Three years since Congress ignored its own deadline, the memorial plaque recognizing the service of law enforcement on Jan. 6 is finally on display in the very building they defended from a mob of Trump supporters.
Really enjoying seeing all of the ways people are building on top of the financial disclosures project. projects.propublica.org/trump-team-f...

Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.
βWe never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,β Stiller wrote.
Oh snapppp!
Rev. Dr. Jamal Bryant at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson:
"The service wouldn't have been this long if were able to go to the Capitol, but the Capitol is now only reserved for pedophiles and podcasters."

You can view all the clips from the DOGE raid on USIP that I uploadedβwhich were obtained via my FOIA lawsuit against DC Metropolitan Policeβhere: www.youtube.com/@marisa_kabas
SCOOP β Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
His account didnβt get taken down. His tweets stayed up. Did they get labeled? Maybe, I donβt care enough to go look atm. But a label isnβt censorship β thatβs also more speech.
When MAGA says βfree speechβ they mean for them, to lie, without the bare minimum of pushback. Everyone sees that now.
Under President Joe Biden the American economy never lost jobs.
92,000 jobs were lost just last month under Donald Trump's administration, the fourth time in just the last eight months.

It will be interesting to watch JD Vance and others who've claimed that Ukraine needs to give in on territory because all wars end in negotiations, rushing to embrace Trump's demand for UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!

As someone who is often sceptical of the Β£200m cost of official inquiries, this was an important reminder to me that, whether or not that is the best way to do it, it is important that we do not forget those years.

Welp
First, Freedom 250, an entity run by Trump's allies, offers access to the president in exchange for donations for America's 250th anniversary events.
Then, the admin allocates $100M in taxpayer funds to it while reportedly raising money from foreign sources.
We need answers about this scheme.
Statement from Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK: Thank you to all our members who are here today, and to everyone who travelled to stand with us. We wanted to mark this moment together. It matters to our campaign, and to everyone who fought for answers. Five years ago, we began calling for a public inquiry into the deaths of our loved ones. Today, after thousands of hours of hearings, the final witness has been heard by the Inquiry that we made happen. This moment belongs to many people. To the thousands bereaved by Covid across the country who came together and refused to be silent. To our legal team, who made sure bereaved families were recognised and taken seriously. To the campaigns and trade unions who stood alongside us when we demanded a judge-led public inquiry. This happened because ordinary people refused to be ignored. A public inquiry is one of the few ways ordinary people can force answers into the open. Documents are disclosed. Decisions are examined. The powerful are forced to answer for their actions. Over the years, we have heard hundreds of hours of evidence, and although only two of ten reports have been published so far, the Inquiryβs verdict on those in power during the pandemic has already been damning. Thousands of lives were cut short because of government incompetence, chaos and callousness. That is what this Inquiry has exposed. And that truth is now on the public record. But the Inquiry is not over. Over the next two years, it will publish further reports on healthcare, PPE, care homes and more. Those reports will give us a blueprint for saving lives. Our job now is to ensure that blueprint turns into action. Another crisis is inevitable. It is a question of when, not if, and despite six years having passed since the start of the pandemic, the country is still not prepared. The government must use the blueprint this Inquiry provides to change the country for the better and take decisive, urgent action. That is why we wβ¦

Well this truly is a hell of a season. Weβre gonna win the Champions League though to make up for the awful PL season.
"We have at last found a global villain who matches the bugbear β an ill-informed violent despot who seems to enjoy carnage for its own sake, & who has the power & will to project terror & violence anywhere on earth for any reason or none.
That global villain is, of course, President Donald Trump."
At least the families of the fallen have this to comfort them.
Stephen Miller in 2024:
Trump in 2011: βUnfortunately, we have a president that doesnβt know the first thing about negotiation. We have a real problem in the White House. So, I believe that he will attack Iran, sometime prior to the election, because he thinks thatβs the only way he can get elected.β
Todayβs military strikes on Iran β carried out by the United States and Israel β mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
