Erik Prince is a Nazi, as are Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, Pat Bondi, Kristi Noem, and other members of the Trump regime. Prince is lobbying to be put in charge of the construction of five more CECOT-like facilities. If not stopped, they will eventually become death camps for Americans.

Meme of Trump yelling something toward a young boy who is mowing the White House lawn. In this version of the meme, Trump is asking the boy if he thinks Trump’s granddaughter would let him see her naked.

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...

There aren't a ton of major prosecutor races in November 2025... but those that are happening are quite heated or dramatic.

My nationwide primer, icymi: boltsmag.org/2025-prosecu...

Your Guide to the 2025 Prosecutor Elections - Bolts

Key races will shape the politics of criminal justice from Philly to Seattle—plus a wild card in New Jersey. But most of November’s 66 prosecutor races feature just one candidate, as usual.

Mike Gastineau shared Greta Niehaus’ photo on FB from the game last night. She went and sat with her dad’s statue when it got too stressful and a fan took this photo. 🥹

Game 5 of the ALDS in Seattle of the Mariners against the Detroit Tigers went 15 innings before the Mariners won. A fan took this photo of Greta Niehaus, a woman in a blue Mariners jacket, facing a baseball field, sitting next to a bronze statue of her dad, Dave Niehaus. The statue is a man sitting at a desk broadcasting a baseball game. Dave was the Mariners broadcaster from 1977 until his death in 2010. He is enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Mariners Hall
of Fame. The broadcast center at TMobile park is named in his honor. Dave would have loved this team.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.
