When you live in a world of your own lies, things can get confusing.

Yeah, it totally makes sense that the antichrist will be a young Swedish girl concerned about the environment, and not some billionaire intent on imposing his agenda on us all while enriching himself.

What a joke our nation has become, while the Republican party looks the other way and pretends there’s nothing to see here.

Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b

LEAVITT: It's frankly despicable that you're trying to suggest that it's inappropriate

Billions in taxpayer dollars have become virtually untraceable — raising questions about the legality of Trump’s actions. Some of these funds expire on Sept. 30. If they’re not spent by then, like all funds Congress appropriated specifically for 2025…they disappear.

Billions in Taxpayer Dollars Have Become Virtually Untraceable

The Trump administration’s aggressive approach to overhauling the executive branch has obscured how federal dollars are actually being spent — even for the members of Congress.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Whatever happened to that “active investigation“ of the Tate Brothers? We got them back from Europe six months ago, helping them avoid charges of sexual assault and human trafficking, but we are doing all we can to ensure that justice is served, right?

Hey, remember the time when the No. 2 official at the Justice Department, who once was Trump‘s personal attorney, visited a convicted sex criminal, and then that convicted sex criminal was transferred to a cushy prison?

But, yeah, it’s an outrage that President Trump is not being seriously considered for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Your reminders:

Trump ended the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team which investigated crypto-related crimes like fraud and money laundering.

Trump also fired the ethics watchdog overseeing corruption in the executive branch.

This is just another Trump family scam.

One of my Supreme Court reform takes is they should be completely barred from taking any outside income (incl. publishing deals) and it should be particularly frowned upon, normatively, to be writing books. Memoirs are for writing after you retire, not five years into a lifetime appointment.

CNN obtained access to Barrett's memoir, in which the justice also takes on religious bias and details her decision-making process, revealing that her chambers once celebrated with champagne when other justices joined a "particularly tricky" opinion of hers. https://cnn.it/45YXtwV

The US Administration has decided to destroy a top network for clinical trials to test new treatments for children with brain cancer.

This is another atrocity that will harm Conservative and Liberal Americans, long after the politicians responsible are gone.
