Terrifying. An Associated Press investigation found more than 420 bills attacking longstanding public health protections such as vaccines, milk safety and fluoride have been introduced in statehouses across the US so far this year. Around 30 bills in 12 states have already been enacted or adopted.

Not a basketball court or a bowling alley.

Republicans sound ridiculous making that comparison.

This isn’t an “upgrade” to the White House, it’s a monument to himself. Trump has no intention of ever leaving — he’s building his own palace and tearing down the entire East Wing to make it happen.

Honestly I think they could just keep demolishing the White House bit by bit until it was completely gone and no one would even stop them

Trump: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. But I was damaged very greatly and any money I would get I would give to charity."

Federal agents from ICE and HSI—some in military fatigues and masks—descended on Chinatown today in an aggressive and reckless raid on immigrant street vendors.

Once again, the Trump administration chooses authoritarian theatrics that create fear, not safety. It must stop.

Federal agents descend on Chinatown in apparent raid

The raid follows recent federal arrests at a Midtown migrant shelter, part of what officials call a broader push to “restore law and order” in New York City.

Pete Hegseth conducted a live fire exercise over I-5 as part of a made-for-Fox stunt for him and Vance which had a misfire that struck a Highway Patrol vehicle and could have killed people?

Who could have foreseen this?
