Predictably for a snake, Tom Cottonmouth lied through his fangs to Kristin Welker about the ability of two survivors of a burning, capsized boat to do anything but wave and beg for help before drowning. He also lied about the legality of killing shiprwrecked persons.

The Supreme Court has cleared the way for a Texas congressional map that may help the GOP win five more U.S. House seats in the 2026 midterms. A lower court found the map is likely unconstitutional.

Evidence that the people killed by the U.S. were actually drug traffickers is expected to be released with unredacted records of Epstein Files, Trump’s tax returns, and Bigfoot shooting JFK.

It’s not a stretch to say that my former political party is now firmly pro-Russia/pro-Putin. Not a stretch at all. It’s traitorous, but it’s true. Look, the leader of my former political party works for Putin. He’s on Putin’s side. Always has been. And the party has followed him.

It took more than fame for Trump and his sons to build a crypto empire. They also got a lot of help from industry insiders, many of whom happened to need a hand from the president.

Not surprising. Local BOE elections in NJ had slates of candidates pushing unified anti-LGBTQ and especially anti-trans messaging. Local GOP party appararchiks amplified their messages. In my community, they all got deservedly trounced at the polls.
NEW: Our look at campaign filings appear to show county Republican party coordinating with school board candidates to push anti-trans messaging through an "independent outlet" with undisclosed ties.
Those stories were then pushed into local Facebook groups, fueling outrage.
