Mr Cuban,

I just wanted to quickly thank you. My husband has XXXX cancer, a rare gastrointestinal cancer. We are between insurance right now and when we went to pick it up we were informed it was $29,000. We were able to get it from CostPlus for $990. Thank you for saving my husband's life.

When a group of blue state attorney's general submitted a strident defense of trans healthcare to Trump's FTC, no one in the media covered it.

No one, that is, except for @valorievandieman.bsky.social of Assigned Media, in one of our most read stories of 2025.

This is brilliant! Now the next Democratic President can declare all of Trump's pardons invalid and send all of the Jan 6ers back to prison.
BREAKING: President Trump declared that all of former President Biden’s pardons are now “invalid.” There is no legal mechanism for presidents to revoke their predecessors’ pardons but if Trump is taken seriously, thousands could be thrown into legal chaos.

U.S. Catholic bishops recently banned trans care throughout the church's sprawling healthcare systems.

What does freedom mean to you?

Have you asked your low info voter friends that?

Have you told them what it means to you? Does it mean masked men brutalizing random people—guns in your face—tear gas on your street?

Have you ever shared a video about #ICELawlessness?

Silence is complicity.

During a press conference, Kristi Noem claimed that ICE has not detained or arrested any US citizens. This isn't true.

The reality is that at least 170 citizens have been held by immigration agents, including two kids with cancer.

Trump attempts to project a resistance-is-futile aura. trib.al/DWi3eU1

His most deranged displays—claims about crowd sizes, dumb imagery of his face attached to cartoonishly steroidal bodies, ineffectual occupation of U.S. cities—have a quality seemingly designed to be overbearing.
