We know you’ve seen the designs for the 2026 America the Beautiful pass, aka the “national parks pass.” Gross, right? 🤢
Know what’s even more gross? Asking rangers to determine who is “American enough” to pay the lower cost to enter the parks.

This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

This is the third newsroom (at least) with an FBI leak about the suspect being a Trump supporter. Seems some FBI folks — presumably not the political hires —are very eager to get this out there.

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

The Trump admin's claim that it was targeting criminal aliens was always bullshit, and it's just hard for me to believe that most Americans don't know that. And assuming they do, this signals just how broken our society has become—it's a sick game we're playing.
