This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Musk isn’t pissed—he’s playing both sides. While Tesla’s supply chain is under pressure from China’s rare earth restrictions, Musk is also investing in domestic refining and quietly aligning with the Trump administration’s mineral-first strategy.

🖤 CLOSER: CODE, HONOR, AND A FUCKING CLUE
You can’t fake what you lack

Joe Rogan isn’t the voice of the people. He’s a hack comedian with a gym pass and a god complex. No code. No honor. No depth. The world doesn’t need another bro with a mic. It needs someone who can think before they fucking talk

Yes, the U.S. stock market experienced a sharp drop today, with major indexes posting their worst single-day losses since April. The decline was triggered by escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China.

🚨 Governors of all 50 states: Sue Trump’s DOJ. Now. 🚨

They’ve demanded full voter registration databases—including driver’s license numbers and Social Security digits—from every state. Not just Illinois. Not just swing states. Every single one.

JB Pritzker sounded the alarm:

JB Pritzker: “Another thing that’s happened with very few people paying attention is they demanded our voter data. Not just ours in Illinois — every state’s voter data. Why? They won’t tell us why.”

Russell Vought just fired thousands of Americans with a tweet.
Let's be blunt: Nobody's forcing Trump and Vought to do this.
They don’t have to do it. They want to.

They're callously choosing to hurt people—the workers who protect our country,

This is deliberate chaos.

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit rail, subway, rapid bus.

It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.

Ukraine needs adequate military support from its allies right now. It’s still not too late to hold Russia accountable. Every second of delay costs Ukraine its people and Europe its security and future. The hard decisions not made today will only be harder and costlier to make tomorrow.

You may be one person María Corina Machado But you were
the one who refused to vanish.
You held the line when it was easier to disappear, and because of that, an entire society found its voice again. Movements need anchors.
You were ours.

Trump’s attacks on Judge Tanya Chutkan—calling her “evil” and accusing her of election interference—are not just political theater. They’re targeted harassment of a Black woman upholding the rule of law.
