JD's family has spent $35M on vacations.

Kash Patel used a $60M FBI jet to go on a date.

Trump spent $98M to golf for 24% of the days of this term.

ALL WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS.

But you think a single mom getting $6 a day for SNAP is the problem?

How voting groups are preparing for all eyes on Virginia The state is one of only two holding elections for governor in 2025.

In less than two weeks, the offices of governor, attorney general, lieutenant governor, and every seat in Virginia's House of Delegates are up for grabs, setting up an off-year election season—and, critically, a bellwether for Trump—to be one of the most closely watched in recent memory.

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Chief Justice Roberts must be impeached

Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it "Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now.

In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

Turning Point USA hit Virginia Tech, where Megyn Kelly clashed with a student over political violence. Bold move to deny gun violence on the site of one of the deadliest school shootings in US history.

Pete Thiel is named in Epstein files so it feels like a good time to remind Thiel was having an affair with influencer Jeff Thomas while married to another man.

Thomas died under mysterious circumstances in 2023.

🚨 BREAKING: James Comey posts a video statement following his indictment

"My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump...But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either...And I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith."

Larry Ellison is worth $392 billion.

He's bought:
—Sailing team ($875 million)
—Estate in Cali ($200 million)
—98% of a Hawaiian island ($300 million)

Now he's trying to acquire TikTok, HBO, CNN—and push them right.

A lot of good his giant tax breaks are doing the rest of us.

WIRED's The Politics Issue

Big Tech's embrace of President Trump has left many of us wondering: What the hell happened to Silicon Valley?

God's "blank check": Christian Zionists are pouring billions of dollars into Israeli extremism Evangelicals have become Israel's most important American allies.

Democrats want a government funding bill that won't raise your health care costs by 75%.

Trump won't even meet with them.

He’s shutting the government down and making health care even more expensive for families.

What a bad deal for America.

Jimmy Kimmel is right; Donald Trump is not going to stop at comedians. "He’s gunning for our journalists, too."

But while so much of corporate media caves, we are doubling down on reader-supported, non-profit journalism. Please consider supporting our mission. secure.motherjones.com/flex/mj/key/...

So Trump and Republicans are going to stop calling Democrats radical left marxists who hate God, are anti-christian, hate America, steal elections, want to replace Americans with criminal migrants, and want to kill babies? When is that going to stop? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Far far far right white Christian nationalist hipocrite. Clearly the cult believes his BS.

Another unqualified clown in the clown show .
