The beginning of a MAGA news and social media campaign to convince Americans that the Epstein files were hacked….during the Obama and Biden administrations. Trump’s name was inserted by Hackers….and he will be exonerated. Just wait and watch……

The true cost of war is so much more than a billion dollars a day. It's paid for in the blood and sacrifices of our troopsβ€”who still don't know what the mission is, when it will end or whether their wounds are justified.

We need to put this Administration under oath in a public hearing. Now.

Absolutely infuriating.

The Iranian missile that Hegseth downplayed as a "squirter getting through" killed six Americans and left dozens with traumatic brain injuries, burns and shrapnel in their bodies.

The Navy is in a no-win situation. If they protect the ships, they are sacrificing American seamen to protect someone else's oil, and if they don't protect the ships, the president starts getting pushback from the oil execs he needs and he will eventually force them to spend American lives.

One thing is absolutely clear right now, in the early in-person vote so far, Republicans are ahead. A lot of Western, Republican-dominated localities have more votes so far than they did on the same day equivalent in 2025. There aren't any Spanberger-won localities running ahead

Something I want to put on everyone’s radar, ESPECIALLY if you live in Virginia.

Data suggests that *Republicans* are out early-voting Democrats in the Virginia redistricting referendum.

When it comes to Virginia, Chaz knows his stuff.

DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS ELECTION, VIRGINIA DEMS!!!

A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files.

The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.

4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans They ruled that states "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex" through care bans is a constitutional goal, affirming West Virginia's Medicaid ban for trans adults.

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.

An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.

It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

Problem is that Anon, such as it was, had a lot of libertarians, and all the libertarians suddenly discovered that they want Big Daddy Government to tell everyone what to do after all. The rest of Anon were socialists, and they can't tie their shoes without getting into an argument with themselves.

It's adorable that you think that would make a difference with his core base, and won't be spun out to his advantage with his wider voting base. It'll be labeled an AI deepfake/fake news, get weaponized against the Democrats, and eventually result in reduced free speech rights for everyone.

Nothing says "why the f*** are you in here?" more than the McDonald's walk-in counter. 10 workers determined to not look toward the register.

I don't blame the employees. I blame the owners for making a system where they are forced to focus on everything but the person standing in front of them.

Wurman's views of the law are so bizarre. I sell a watch to someone who will pay me $100. If they're undocumented and they don't pay, I have no recourse, even if they're still here in the US. Wut.

Such gnarly pretzels lawyers must twist themselves into when denying birthright citizenship.

As many as 140 servicemembers injured. 7 killed. Thousands of Americans stranded in the region with a target on their backs and no escape.

All for a war that a draft dodger cannot even articulate a coherent and consistent justification for.

How. Is. This. America. First.

Dems should run on TRADITIONAL AMERICAN VALUES!

Freedom of speech
Freedom of press
Freedom of religion
Separation of powers
Universal application of the law
Nation of immigrants
etc.

Exclusive: As many as 150 US troops wounded so far in Iran war, sources say As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the 10-day-old ​war with Iran, two people familiar with the matter told β€ŒReuters on Tuesday.

The brave women and men who serve our country in uniform are not Trump's political pawns.

Americans are paying the price for Donald Trump's reckless, unconstitutional war with Iran. We need to put an end to this.
