JUST IN: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s lawyers say the Trump administration is trying to coerce him to plead guilty to the charges he is facing by promising to deport him to Costa Rica — and threatening to deport him to Uganda if he doesn’t. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.
They said Trump wouldn’t pardon the J6-ers. They said he wouldn’t do tariffs. They said he wouldn’t put anti-vaxxers in charge of public health. They said he wouldn’t investigate those who posed a challenge to him. And called everyone who said otherwise hysterical. We absolutely weren’t.
Excellent article. Superb writing.

These Americans served with honor for more than a decade. Put their lives on the line. Trump fired them, just for being who they are-and now is denying retirement benefits our nation promised them for their service. Treating troops this way is dishonorable, unfair, & harmful to national security.

This is a guy who lies about all his numbers, from the size of his condo in NYC to his own height and weight. So it’s no surprise he wants to lie about economic numbers now.

I realize this is much smaller than many of the recent horrifying events, but this really REALLY pisses me off.
About 120 kids were evacuated from an overnight camp on the banks of the Salmon River estuary near Lincoln City when the tsunami watch was issued, and then upgraded to an advisory.

Trump says "bad, sick" Democrats could have doctored the Epstein files to make him look bad. Great logic by Cheetolini. He's suggesting the Dems framed him, but forgot to release the dirt, let him win the election, and then quietly turned over the Epstein files to him.
Just so’s we’re all clear, almost 3/4 of everything we buy from Europe is now 15% more expensive.

So to clarify the timeline: Trump promises to release the Epstein files for his entire campaign. Bondi says they’re on her desk. Trump gets told he’s in them. Bondi says whoopsies, turns out the Epstein files don’t actually exist.

I'm sorry, nine HUNDRED former DOJ lawyers all signed this letter opposing Emil Bove's nomination to be an appellate federal judge? 900?!
The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why? Because it expired after its shipment was delayed. 1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed. This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

The Supreme Court derives its power from its legitimacy. It earns its legitimacy by explaining its decisions. The endless stream of wholly unexplained orders in favor of the Trump administration is not just indefensible—it's a threat to the court's own long-term power. This reeks of illegitimacy.
Stay on Epstein. Trump wants to distract you any way he can, because he knows the Epstein files can bury him. Don’t get off topic. Epstein is the story.

RFK Jr. needs to be asked if updated COVID19 vaccines will be available in Fall 2025, until we get a firm answer. ACIP was supposed to discuss this at their last meeting. The unvetted committee that RFK Jr. installed took it off of the agenda. Millions will be at risk for hospitalization.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.
While elites bend the knee to Trump, we're standing strong. We are not afraid — we are the Home of the Brave.
The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ
I am not exaggerating when I say the Supreme Court’s unsigned, unexplained order yesterday is the worst thing it has done since Trump returned to office. And not just on the merits—it’s also an unfathomably dangerous green light for Trump to flout lower court orders. slate.com/news-and-pol...
An America where masked men in unmarked cars are snatching people off the streets as they run their daily errands is not an America we can accept. This isn't law enforcement, it's state-sponsored fear. ktvz.com/news/2025/06...
