MAGA is freaking out & splintering over a leaked text chain—which TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet says is real—where Kirk wrote “Just lost another Jewish donor…Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot & will not be bullied like this. Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause.” 1/

Shutdown Cuts Off Flood Insurance Program During Storm Season A lapse in the National Flood Insurance Program because of the US government shutdown threatens to snarl home sales in the nation’s riskiest floodplains and leave some homeowners without coverage in the middle of hurricane season.

USAID also made the world safer for Americans, improved global outlook towards Americans, and opened markets to American businesses and bought foods from American farmers to feed the world.

It was the world’s leading soft power organization that did so much good around the planet.

Trump killed it.

Kristi Noem: How DARE you accuse our glorious ICE agents of racial profiling.

Head of the Chicago raids: We are stopping people based on “how they look, how do they look compared to, say,” a tall, middle aged white guy.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

Trump Gets the Retribution He Sought, and Shatters Norms in the Process

"Shattered norms"? No, this shatters the rule of law: a prosecution based solely on the order of a dictator, not due process. The fascism is under your nose, #BrokenTimes

Alex Acosta remains defiant defending his decision not to prosecute Epstein.

He “essentially said he didn’t have faith in the victims, their stories and their ability to tell their own story and their own testimony, which is deeply disturbing to all of us sitting in there,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost.

If Tom Homan did nothing wrong, the Department of Justice should have no issue releasing the Homan files and the video of the alleged bribery to clear this up.

And while they’re at it, go ahead and release the Epstein files and clear Trump’s name.

Shouldn’t be hard!

Parents outraged as Meta uses photos of schoolgirls in ads targeting man Exclusive: Instagram pictures of girls as young as 13 were posted to promote Threads site ‘as bait’, campaigner says

“Meta has used back-to-school pictures of schoolgirls to advertise one of its social media platforms to a 37-year-old man, in a move parents described as “outrageous” and “upsetting.”

Meta has 100% stopped even *pretending* not to be astoundingly evil.

The controversy started with a post Tuesday from Jacqueline Garretson, who, according to her X bio, is the Illinois state director for The Conservative Caucus and previously worked as a staffer for failed Republican attorney_general candidate Thomas DeVore.
Garretson wrote that a relative, whom she later identified as her mother-in-law, ordered the Mint Majesty tea with two honeys — an order known to be Kirk's favorite drink - from the
Starbucks. When the order was completed, the cup had "Loser" written on it, Garretson said.

Starbucks says surveillance clears an employee who’d been accused of writing “Loser” on a cup when someone ordered Charlie Kirk’s “favorite drink.”

The accusation was originally posted by a Republican party official. It forced the store to shut down for safety.

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.

China's green energy boom could spell the end of the fossil fuel age China has put its economic might behind renewable technologies in a desire to stop relying on imported fossil fuels.

Europe lit the spark, but China is bringing it home.⚡What began as a climate push in Europe has become inevitable with China’s scale—an entire economy rewired around electricity. This isn’t a cycle, it’s a structural shift. Fossils are on borrowed time. Watch this space! #EnergyTransition #EV #BESS

Calling it now: almost all the coming crackdown on progressive groups will be focused on those that provide funding, resources, research, knowledge, or assistance of other kinds to Democratic candidates, voters, and institutions focused on winning the midterm elections.

An authoritarian crackdown.
