Governor Newsom meets President Trump on the LAX tarmac during Trump's January 2025 visit to survey the damage left by the Los Angeles area firestorms. 11 months later, Trump has yet to actually transmit the formal request to Congress for critical disaster funding to help Southern California communities recover from the Palisades and Eaton fires — despite California's urgent pressure and bipartisan support on Capitol Hill.

In January, Donald Trump looked me in the eye on the tarmac, promising Angelenos that he'd help rebuild after the firestorms.

11 months later, he still hasn't delivered.

That's why I'm headed to D.C. to push for a long-overdue federal aid package for survivors.

Yes, and remember the shift in #TN7
didn't "just happen on its own":
A good candidate stepped up.
People organized.
People knocked doors.
People phone banked.
People donated.

Build the movement.
Find your lane.
Get ready.

We can make the 2026 midterms an epic rebuke of the GOP,
together.

Speaking of lingering issues, anybody seen a guy skulking around with $50k in a CAVA bag? It's been nearly 15 months! Today would be a good day for the FBI to reveal what happened to the taxpayers' money that Tom Homan apparently took in exchange for propsective official favors.

I think a lot of people still aren't used to the idea of a federal government that lies openly, nakedly and as a matter of course.

The important thing to remember is that all facts about the J6 pipe bomb(s) ceased mattering to Trump voters half a decade ago.

It does not matter what we learn about Brian Cole—it will either be framed as indicating J6 was an inside job or it will be lied about so J6 can be called an inside job.

Can someone explain to me why they think an administration that’s been carrying out war crimes for a year straight with impunity would impeach someone when they have all houses of power

Bingo! If the Nazi fits——

Nazis said the same thing at Nuremberg.

A new video captures masked ICE agents in unmarked vehicles swarming the mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew before hauling her away. There’s no way this was random.

The GOP’s War on Naturalized Citizens’ Right to Vote Read more here.

Over 25 million naturalized citizens have earned their right to vote - but the GOP is attacking it.

From banning voter registration at naturalization ceremonies to flawed mass purges, the GOP is spreading fear to keep new Americans from the ballot box.

this is extraordinary. too many people in my profession have circled the wagons around someone who lacks the moral sense of a child

Natasha Bertrand: Lawmakers are apparently being shown the full video of the Sept 2 boat strikes in their meetings with Adm Bradley and Gen Caine. HIMES: “what I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I’ve seen in my time in public service…you have two individuals and clear distress, without any means of locomotion, with a destroyed vessel, were killed by the United States.”

They need to release this video to the public

Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:

Magaziner: "This is not about the drugs. This is about oil."

A corrupt president pardons a corrupt member of Congress for corrupt reasons. With multiple guilty pleas establishing a bribery-laundering scheme, Hakeem Jeffries still called the case “thin” and sought cover in a bribery-plagued Supreme Court.

A lesson in squandering potential inroads with voters.

President Trump has now pardoned 12 members of Congress convicted of crimes varying from tax evasion, campaign corruption, lying to the FBI, bribery, insider trading, obstruction, etc.

If Jeff Epstein were alive today, he’d be a free man in Trump’s America.

GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed."

UPDATE: Trump Jr.-backed startup receives $620 million Pentagon loan In October, Popular Information reported that the Pentagon awarded a contract to Unusual Machines, an obscure drone company that President Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., joined as an advisor in Novemb...

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

“When Valentina Gómez asked Piers Morgan to name the last war ‘started by Christians,’ he reminded her of the Iraq invasion. She replied, ‘I was four.’ That’s peak syrup-brained MAGA logic on display.”

Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikes—

Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy—

I’d like to hear Holsey’s testimony too

Looks to me it’s not good to stay up all night posting more than 200-plus truth socials. 😁

EVERYTHING trump is doing with immigrants is ethnic cleansing. He wants a lilly white pure America. No black & brown, no foreign born people UNLESS they’re white & willing to praise & bow down to the wannabe dictator. Or pay him money because they are rich. This is becoming the Trump MO. Pay me!!

All true!
However, trump, with all of his VERY REAL MENTAL ISSUES, is not the core problem! The GOP acceptance of "CRIME IS NORMAL" is the core problem!

The inability of the US population recognizing GOP crime is a related problem!

Voting for continuous GOP CRIME is a problem!
