This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

Writing an interactive story takes a long, long, long time.

“Riots Raging”: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of “Portland rioters” routinely instigating violence wa...

2020 footage said to be in 2025. A scene of protestors in Illinois, suggested as Portland.

We reviewed Fox News coverage and 700+ social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision to send the National Guard to Portland.

Here's how Fox News told a misleading story:

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Damn.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

A lot of people get into law enforcement because they are emotionally incontinent and it’s a great opportunity to piss over everyone, violence-and-threatswise

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "Why do we say the Republican Party is the only one advancing common sense reform solutions? Because we've proven it. We did it in the big beautiful bill. We took a look at Medicaid & we took on that challenge. We took action to reduce fraud, waste & abuse in Medicaid"

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

These guys haven't thought very far down the game tree.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth & © @SecWar X.com Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out three lethal kinetic strikes on four vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations (DTO) trafficking narcotics in the Eastern Pacific. The four vessels were known by our intelligence apparatus, transiting along known narco-trafficking routes, and carrying narcotics. Eight male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessels during the first strike. Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the second strike. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the third strike. A total of 14 narco-terrorists were killed during the three strikes, with one survivor. All strikes were in international waters with no U.S. forces harmed. Regarding the survivor, USSOUTHCOM immediately initiated Search and Rescue (SAR) standard protocols; Mexican SAR authorities accepted the case and assumed responsibility for coordinating the rescue. The Department has spent over TWO DECADES defending other homelands. Now, we're defending our own. These narco-terrorists have killed more Americans than Al-Qaeda, and they will be treated the same. We will track them, we will network them, and then, we will hunt and kill them. UNCLASSIFIED Post your reply

Hegseth just bragged about 14 more murders of fishermen (not terrorists) in three different attacks. Even if they were transporting drugs, they’re still fishermen, not gunslingers.

CBS News is just the latest legacy news outlet to cast its lot with Trump. It settled a bogus case to please Trump, it canceled Colbert to please Trump, it hired Bari Weiss to please Trump.

The number of media outlets really willing to stand up to Trump is dwindling. Support them with your loyalty.

Trump’s $230 Million Heist Is Unconstitutional Publisher's Roundup 41

The president can’t use his own appointees to sign off on paying himself hundreds of millions from the U.S. Treasury

That’s not how ethics—or democracy—work

ICE detains mother dropping off child at elementary school—refuses to even look at her U.S. legal papers.

"What documents?" agent sarcastically replies—holding up the folder.

"The ones in your hands!" witnesses yell back.

Madison Elementary School in Santa Ana, California.

Alex Jones’s InfoWars is now part of the new Pentagon Press Corps.

Why yes, pretty obvious :)

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

Authorities Investigating After Home Of South Carolina Judge Who Ruled Against Trump's DOJ Is Destroyed In Explosion

This is Trump's America.

Supreme Court lets Noem end legal status for many Venezuelans in the U.S. The majority gave virtually no reasoning. The Democratic appointees objected, but only Justice Jackson wrote: "[Y]et another grave misuse of our emergency docket."

Friday’s SCOTUS decision was issued in a brief, unsigned order that contained virtually no reasoning. It was accompanied by no signed opinions from any of the justices in the majority and over opposition from the three Democratic appointees. Only Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote.

This will end well.

U.S. Military Attacked Boat Off Venezuela, Killing Four Men, Hegseth Says

Just randomly murdering people on the high seas for shits and giggles.

Idiots.

I started to tackle my social media consumption, reduced daily limit. I’m amazed at how much more productive I am at work.

JD Vance is out of control

This.

There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization.

It’s all out in the open.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

While 🇺🇸 farms go under…
