The President is lying to the public:

1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land.

1% of the highest earners pay 40% of income taxes, while 40% of Americans pay no income tax at all. This is true, but billionaires aren’t captured by this picture because most of their wealth lies outside the income-tax system thru the “buy borrow die” tax-avoidance strategy.
Billionaires’ Low Taxes Are Becoming a Problem for the Economy
Tax avoidance by the superwealthy is an economic issue as well as a political one.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.

I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Noncitizen voting in the U.S. is extremely rare. A recent report found that many claims of noncitizen voting stem from “misunderstandings, mischaracterizations, or outright fabrications about complex voter data.”

Meanwhile the Trump-Epstein regime has cut out funding for election security support.
Noncitizen voting is rare. Why is Washington so focused on it?
Republicans are zeroing in on proof-of-citizenship requirements — even as critics warn federal support for election cybersecurity is quietly shrinking.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Let’s be clear: The GOP’s new voter suppression legislation (modeled on the SAVE Act) is unlikely to pass the Senate.

But with this attack on our voting rights ahead of the midterms, we can’t take anything for granted.

Watch this! Mayor Mamdani in the end announces an executive order he has signed that reins in ICE conduct and puts ICE on notice that NYC will not abide or enable their criminal lawlessness against the people
This city is home to people of countless faiths. But no matter what you believe, one thing unites us: we are all New Yorkers. We will not allow ICE to terrorize our neighbors.

Great reporting here, thank you!
The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York just confirmed what we have long known: it’s not foreign countries paying for Trump’s tariff taxes.

Nearly 90% of the cost has been borne by American consumers and businesses — driving up prices and squeezing families at the checkout.
