I still have not gotten an answer as to why Donald would even consider pardoning Ghislane Maxwell. And Biden is not an answer.

In case you got lost in the steaming pile of bullshit Speaker Johnson’s been shoveling, the shutdown fight Democrats are holding the line on is about healthcare for hard-working Americans.

Leader Jeffries isn’t flinching, isn’t wobbling; he’s been consistent and hasn’t wavered on this issue.

My guess is these world leaders may come to regret this circle jerk they just afforded Trump in the very near future. It’s weird to lose respect for everyone all at once but that’s life. This was basically the Epcot Center version of a Trump cabinet meeting.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Last year, we wrote about survivor Taylor Cadle. When she was 12, she told police she’d been raped. They said she was lying and charged her with false reporting. She then took the extraordinary measure of recording the next act of abuse.

Now, Taylor has legal counsel and filed a lawsuit.

Chris Murphy: "Stephen Miller & Co. have a plan to transition our country from democracy into autocracy. But it's not a lost cause yet.

History shows when enough people regularly engage in peaceful protest, enough sand gets thrown in the gears to save our democracy."

The Disappearance Of Pro V&V

Who's behind PROV&V - the private company certified to change our voting system?

Their website, once home to testing logs, certification documents, and contact information, collapsed into a hollow shell shortly after the 2024 elections.

The EAC is not investigating.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

This is showing (to me anyway) what the rich want to do. Put people in place that will champion their cause not America's!!

At some point, this stops being funny and starts being heartbreaking. Because what we’re watching isn’t just hypocrisy it’s the death of fairness itself. Millions of kids work their way through college, juggle jobs, drown in debt, and still can’t get their foot in the door.

When the right loses both Joe Rogan and Marjorie Taylor Greene on the issues in the same week, you know it’s going to get rough for Republicans.

Joe Rogan on ICE: “The way it looks is just horrific.”

QAnon queen MTG on the economy: “I’m just living in reality from here on out.”

Why hasn't anyone required the Administration to provide proof of all of this death and destruction in court? Or maybe they have and I haven't heard about it!

Turret Arch, located within Arches National Park, always reminds me of a castle or some sort of dragon's lair. #photography

A large, complex formation of sandstone towers with an arch in the center at the top of a hill. Stairs lead through the foreground desert landscape of orange dirt and green shrubs, up to the arch. Partly cloudy blue sky is overhead.
