OPINION | The political assassination brings the nation to a moral crossroads.
Three people are hospitalized in critical condition after a school shooting in Colorado.
The deported grandmother's husband said he voted for Donald Trump last year but now “100 percent“ regrets his vote.
Thank you, Senator Warren.
Yesterday, protestors heckled Trump and called him "the Hitler of our time." Whether you agree with that or not, it's clear that Donald Trump is already following a dictator's playbook just months into his second term. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSxJRIiCNs8
I wrote this story because the case of the Guatemalan children hasn’t received nearly as much media attention as it deserves. I wanted to highlight the full extent of the government’s depraved conduct. I hope you’ll read and share. Don’t look away. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath. Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

Fox host Brian Kilmeade calls for the execution of mentally ill people who commit crimes: "Involuntary lethal injection. Or something. Just kill them." And you watch: He won't be suspended by Fox. The right wing supports euthanasia as long as they get to decide who gets it.
One of the big COVID facts that tend to make people go deer in headlights is the high percentage of asymptomatic infections. Unfortunately these infections can still cause you or others problems months or years later. This was known back in 2020 but shushed up afterwards.

Ukraine is at risk of shortages of air defence weapons after a US DoD review of military aid in June resulted in slower deliveries. The review, stemming from a memo written by Pentagon's Elbridge Colby, remains in effect even as Moscow intensifies attacks. www.ft.com/content/26df...
1. Jared Kushner is taking TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS annually from Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern governments Simultaneously, Kushner is playing a CENTRAL ROLE shaping Trump's Middle East policy It's a massive conflict. And a scandal. That's getting scant attention

Seems kinda weird that the current UK ambassador to the USA, Peter Mandelson (appointed by Keir Starmer) would call Jeffrey Epstein his best pal but guess that’s fine
1. Great news out of a federal court in Maryland this morning. A judge has ruled that Trump's trans passport ban is likely unconstitutional, blocking it for the plaintiffs. Importantly, it rules that it is likely unconstitutional at ANY level of review. Subscribe to support our journalism.
Qatar bribed Trump with a $400 million luxury jet and it still wasn't enough to protect them from getting bombed by Israel. Again, and again, and again, people refuse to learn that by placating Trump you only enable him further. Alas.

Only Covid offered at CVS minute clinics not regular CVS pharmacy here in Florida #covidvacvine
Covid is running rampant out there. The HHS Secretary has lost his mind and the CDC is almost nonexistent. Get better soon. Have hope. 🙏
So sorry
I want to give those of you who have not been exposed to this new strain of Covid a warning. It is very insidious. I have had it now for almost 3 weeks it does not want to go away. I thought I was getting better, but now having a problem breathing. Please be careful especially the immunocompromised.

Good morning and happy Sunday to everyone. It's still the Department of Defense. Just like it's still the Gulf of Mexico. Just like the other place is still the Twitter. Just like he’s still in the Epstein files.
It's sad, but also amusing, that JD Vance thinks MAGA will embrace him and his brown-skinned Indian American family after Trump dies. I mean...he really believes it. Nope.
This. Is. Fascism.
This part.
Good one.
Reminder that Kamala Harris never said she didn't "give a shit" about due process, and should be sitting in the Oval Office instead of the convicted felon rapist in there now. trump is bad, JD Vance would be much worse.
I hate that he’s going!

I would argue that a president going to war with an American city is an impeachable offense
Florida’s move on vaccine mandates will lead to avoidable illnesses and deaths.
One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say. Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

We are now confronted with an occupant of the White House determined to wage war against us, we, the people. This cannot stand.
It's feel like we're counting down to the first mass killing of US citizens by the US military.
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

If not for the deployment of the military, this would be the biggest story right now. Or at least it should be... "In recent weeks, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has doubled down on its sweeping bid to wrangle private voter data from states — including by threatening legal action."

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports. Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy. RFK Jr. must resign now!

South Korea spent billions creating a plant in Georgia. It helps the local economy and both nations' bottom line. What does this dumbass, racist, white supremacist Trump Administration do? Conducts the largest immigration raid that arrests 450 employees, pissing off South Korea. GENIUS moves!
