A second generation nepo baby, raised by a pair of sociopaths and given every advantage in the world. I'm sure this story will end well.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

-Neil Young is trending because he is a legend, who has filled the world with iconic, soul-clutching music infused with urgency that stands against corporate greed.

-Kid Rock is trending because he is a lowbrow hack, who has enriched himself by standing on a chair, and kissing Trump's ample ass.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

This is what TRUMP and STEPHEN MILLER have unleashed on the streets of America. Both Trump and Miller should be locked up.
Does that little faux Christian creep Mikey Johnson think this behavior is okay in the eyes of his lord and savior?

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

1) WHY isn't this a bigger story? High food prices were cited time and again as a major 2024 campaign issue?

2) Democrats said said over and over again this was going to happen.

3) Why didn't the MSM take it more seriously, when trump LIED over and over again about bringing food prices down???

$47. And that’s if the government isn’t lying about the interest rate. Plus, they will have to prove she intentionally schemed to swindle $47 from the bank - as opposed to just not knowing the difference between a second home and an investment property. Good luck, Lindsay.

The grand jury indictment against New York AG Letitia James accuses her of receiving a lower-cost loan on a home she purchased.

James saved only about $50 a month with lower interest rate, the indictment alleges.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
