SCOOP: The Trump administration may revoke the visas of critics of Elon Musk's Twitter.
The move would mark one of the admin's first attempts to revoke the visas of people they deem to be engaging in the “censorship” of Americans.

The more contact I have with the policy end of health care in this country, the more I’m flabbergasted by the way it’s organized. It’s a nightmare Rube Goldberg machine and it doesn’t have to be like this.

You’re really not going to like hearing how white women voted as a demographic, nor how that stacks up against any group of Somalis you care to think of. It’s almost as if you’re a dumb racist!

Soon, CNN will run live odds on world events where its viewers can gamble on them in real time on their smartphones. One recent Kalshi betting market that allowed people to bet on whether Palestinians in Gaza would suffer mass starvation.

Not beating the “in on it” allegations
The President of the United States is trying to throw Mark Kelly in prison and Mark Kelly's response is to confirm judges who have committed to putting him in prison
11 Senate Democrats just voted to advance the nomination of a Federal Society judge who used to defend banks and payday lenders:

SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.

We'll start with what this happy gator has in her mouth: a pond apple (Annona glabra), also called an ALLIGATOR APPLE.

This is reality denial every bit as pernicious as anything that’s come from Trump.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

This is, like many things that the administration is doing, so outrageous that it nearly defies description. This alone should end Trump's presidency and it shouldn't even be controversial.
President Trump has pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was serving a 45-year prison sentence for drug trafficking.

Remember, these regime-changers *do not* care about democracy. This is pure PR narrative. The US gladly coups democratically elected leaders (Mosaddegh, Lumumba, Allende, etc), and gladly props up actual autocracies (Saudi, Jordan, Egypt, etc) if it serves their interests.
