Judge April Parry stated in her ruling that the deployment would “only add fuel to the fire that the defendants themselves have started.” Time to go back home to Texas!

Breaking: Trump has officially lost the Nobel Peace Prize.

Instead, the Nobel committee is awarding the leader of the opposition in Venezuela for supporting “democracy over dictatorship.”

Trump Loses Nobel Peace Prize He Shamelessly Campaigned For

The Norwegian Nobel Committee on Friday said the recognition would instead go to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado.

The government has executed more people in 2025 than any year in over a decade — and there are five more executions scheduled over the next week.

Just a handful of states are responsible for these executions, and they’re increasingly out of step with public opinion.

The one thing the Letitia James and James Comey indictments have in common

As Donald Trump's Justice Department indicts Letitia James and James Comey, both cases are brazenly and transparently corrupt.

Here’s a suggested comment to get you started:

Half of all Americans don’t have a passport, and if you make this change, you’ll make it harder for eligible citizens like me to vote — and block millions of other Americans from voting too. Do not go through with this!

The anti-voter SAVE Act failed in Congress thanks to widespread opposition. Now, its proponents are pressuring the Election Assistance Commission to enact a similar “show-your-papers” requirement for voting. Will you speak out against this attack on the freedom to vote?

The Letitia James and James Comey cases are two sides of the same coin:

Trump isn’t hiding his weaponization of the criminal justice system, he’s *flaunting* it, hoping to instill fear in critics and prosecutors.

The corruption is the point. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Both cases are brazenly and transparently corrupt, for the sake of brazen and transparent corruption.

Mike Davis clerked for Neil Gorsuch, worked in DOJ and on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Now he is an election denier troll who peddles conspiracies on Steve Bannon's show.

So, of course, all of that makes him a close ally of the Trump regime.
