Tim Kaine has got to go! They put it in an appropriations bill and STILL don’t have the video of the second strike on the first boat. WE DON’T HAVE TIME TO PUSSYFOOT AROUND! See Merrick Garland and responsibility given to Jan 6th organizer DJTrump to see what pussyfooting gets you!!!!!
WELKER: Massie and Khanna say they are looking at options including impeachment and contempt for DOJ officials. Would you support those steps?

KAINE: I think that's premature

Before Trump is out of office, Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche better make sure they get ironclad pardons

Bondi is already facing a possible impeachment inquiry

And their mishandling of the Trump and Epstein files alone could be the basis of a potential prosecution

It’s impossible to overstate what a big deal this is for this legendary Kentucky brand. The last time Jim Beam closed down like this was during Prohibition. Trump’s tariffs & fight with Canada are surely to blame.

“Four detainee deaths in one week is a red-hot crisis,” said Eunice Cho, senior counsel at the @aclu.org National Prison Project. “There is no question in my mind that this represents a clear deterioration of medical care and the worsening conditions in ICE detention.”
Four ICE detainee deaths in four days spark alarm as arrests grow
At least 30 detainees have died in 2025, prompting concerns about deteriorating conditions at facilities even as the agency has received an infusion of cash from Congress.

What the absolute f*ck??
Yes, this is a real government ad…

“Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?”

In a country built on centuries of actual discrimination, the EEOC is using civil rights language to insulate white male mediocrity from competition.

Khanna: Congress is talking about possible impeachment. They're talking about inherent contempt for the attorney general or deputy attorney general—any justice department official who has obstructed justice could face prosecution in this administration or a future administration.

Say it with me: IMPEACH PAM BONDI

Every member of Congress voted to release the Epstein files except for one holdout. The DOJ blew the legal deadline because they’re running cover for Trump. Bondi broke the law.

"DOJ sources — including officials who’ve actually seen what’s inside the Epstein files — are telling me there’s real concern after today’s so-called “release.” Because documents that should have been turned over today aren’t just heavily redacted — they appear to be missing."

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.

It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.
