Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.)

Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart.

How is this legal by ICE. How does this make the US a safer place to live and visit?
ICE fired a munition at Rep. Adelita Grijalva as she demanded answers during a raid in her own community. No warning. No accountability. Just armored agents treating Tucson like a war zone. If they’ll fire at a Congresswoman on camera, imagine what they do to everyone else. Sick MFers.

A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award.

And "I want to really save lives" is rich coming from the homicidal slob who is murdering people on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

The Trump Family is doing much more than enriching themselves, they're robbing the government and everyone else blind.

Mark Warner: "I hope it would remind folks that J6 was an ugly, awful day, and this administration and president basically pardoned all the perpetrators. It's that kind of picking and choosing of facts from this crowd that makes me a little bit crazy."

Once again, a Scottish newspaper takes a stand, refusing to follow the mainstream media mob in perpetuating the great fiction that is the Gaza “ceasefire”.

The @scotnational.bsky.social puts their peers to shame.
