So turns out Trump’s redecorating the White House is just his audition tape to host Queer Eye.

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

With the sell of the F-35s to Saudi Arabia comes sales of F-35s to Israel, since they are assured of air superiority.

Lockheed Martin makes the F-35s.

Lockheed Martin has donated $10 million to Trump's "ballroom."

Do the math.

The House & Senate showed up and did our jobs today. Now, it’s time for Donald Trump and Pam Bondi to do theirs.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.

Trump appointed Harmeet Dhillon to the Justice Department so she could own the libs and sue DEI out of existence. But she is a bad lawyer! And her utter incompetence is the main reason why a conservative Trump judge just struck down the racist Texas gerrymander. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Wee man Bovino was on faux news saying that he wasn’t going to follow the judge’s orders & that they’d be going out to arrest 6000 after the 650 detainees were released.

The people of Chicago won

Trump, Kristi Noem and ICE lost

Not only did Greg Bovino and his agents leave the city in disgrace

A judge ruled that they must release as many as 615 unjustly detained immigrants

Plus-they must stop pressuring immigrants to voluntarily leave

Never
Stop
Resisting

MAJOR NEWS: Federal judges, including a Trump appointee, just BLOCKED Texas Republicans from using their new gerrymandered congressional map in 2026, ruling it was likely an illegal racial gerrymander. TX must revert to its 2021 map as Trump’s redistricting power grab collapses.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.

The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

After GOP election losses, the Trump White House doubled down on denial: no inflation, a “Golden Age” economy, and nothing to see in the Epstein files. This has alienated voters and eroded support among Trump's own base, and now his MAGA movement appears to be unraveling right in front of our eyes.

U.S. soldiers are training alongside Polish and Romanian forces on a counter-drone system rushed to NATO's eastern flank after a recent spate of unmanned aerial incursions across Europe.

From Stars and Stripes' Phillip Walter Wellman on site in Poland:
After drone breaches, NATO turns to Merops system for eastern flank defense
The system has been battle-tested in Ukraine, where local forces have used it to shoot down Russian-made Shahed drones and other incoming threats.

The prosecution of James Comey is going about as well as you'd expect

"the government's potential violations of the Fourth Amendment..establish a reasonable basis to question whether the..conduct was willful or in reckless disregard of the law"

"'grounds may exist to dismiss the indictment'"

From this moment on, all persons defending pedophilia will automatically be assumed to be on the Epstein list and will be informed accordingly:
“So, you *are* on the list”
“You’re on the list, aren’t you?”
“Mark that one down, on the Epstein list”

Today in history, 1973: President Nixon tells a group of Associated Press editors in a televised question-and-answer session that he is “not a crook.” The Watergate scandal was heating up and Nixon appeared “tense” when questioned about his role. /1
