Taking the Wins There’s good news to report on many fronts, and we should not only enjoy them but understand what they mean going forward.

Great read from the Status Kuo
"...There is still no justice for the murdered victims, the investigation remains politically tainted, and many residents illegally detained and transported to concentration camps have yet to be returned home..."
But there are wins

The lies the man tells…

Laws restricting abortions linked to rise in 'abhorrently high' maternal mortality rates Rising state-level abortion restrictions in the United States were linked to a similar, parallel rise in maternal deaths from 2005 to 2023, according to research presented at The Pregnancy Meeting. ...

Researchers have found that 6 of 10 abortion restrictions — bans on Medicaid funding for abortion, mandated waiting periods, 2nd-trimester abortion bans, ACA marketplace insurance coverage bans, biased counseling laws, and ultrasound requirements — were linked to higher rates of maternal mortality.

A storefront in Hollywood glows during the golden hour. Some palm trees line the street it’s on. Circa 2005 maybe? They used this building on Beverly and Gardner as the Peach Pit in the newer version of 90210. I drove or walked by it every day so would see them filming. One day while driving by, they weren’t actively filming and I saw Tristan Wilds. I leaned out the window and yelled “yo Omar’s coming.” He liked that so he smiled and waved. I don’t usually take pictures within the city, but the last one seemed to be liked so here goes. I’ll be back to mountains, rivers and oceans soon enough I suppose.

Well, y’all could make Russia “see” there’s no advantage in continuing the war by (1) Enabling Ukraine to destroy them militarily through your support and (2) Collapsing the already-shaky Russian economy through united, radical sanctions. Quit talking and do it. 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini ✊🏼🇺🇦

Exclusive: White House uses USAID funds for budget director Vought's security, documents show The White House budget office is using millions of dollars from the former U.S. foreign aid agency to pay for the security detail of Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's budget chief and an archit...

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Vought is a mass murderer.

MeidasTouch Was Front Row for the Pam Bondi Meltdown Yesterday, Pam Bondi didn’t deliver testimony.

open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche should not be practicing law, and they certainly should not be the most powerful prosecutors in the US.
After Bondi's performance yesterday, she should be impeached by a large majority and investigated for her role in this heinous coverup

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

AG Keith Ellison: "The surge is contributing to violent crime. Two of the three homicides committed in Minneapolis in 2026 have come at the hands of federal immigration agents."

Countless articles over the past year quoted hundreds of employers stating that Latino-American workers who are citizens are afraid to show up to job sites for fear of being profiled and detained. If they are afraid to go to work, they damn sure won’t go to vote with ICE there.

🤬🤬🤬

Well, fuck whoever takes up the offer!!!

We are doomed as a country.

Pentagon let CBP use anti-drone laser before FAA closed El Paso airspace, AP sources say The Pentagon allowed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to use an anti-drone laser earlier this week, leading the Federal Aviation Administration to suddenly close the airspace over El Paso, Texas

The weird part? The Pentagon said that they let CBP test their anti-drone laser, which begs the question as to why a civilian law enforcement agency is testing high-powered military lasers...?

He claims no knowledge of crimes, of course.😑

ICE Moved Detainees to Previously Undisclosed Floor of 26 Federal Plaza A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reduce overcrowding and squalid conditions at a Manhattan holding room. Months later, he finds ICE merely shifted floors.

ICE officials under a judge’s order to clean up squalid conditions on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza detained migrants on a secret floor where they decided that ruling didn’t apply, attorneys for the Trump administration said Monday.

ICE Chief Lyons: No.

Rep. Kennedy: Your answer is completely unacceptable.

4 months after Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Forbes reports that Binance now holds $4.7 billion of the $5.4 billion supply of Trump’s World Liberty Financial stablecoin. That is 87%. It is the largest corruption scandal in the history of the US presidency.

🚨 Republicans are trying to NATIONALIZE voter suppression. Their new bills would require passports/birth certificates to register - documents MILLIONS of Americans don't have. This isn't about security - it's about silencing voters.

The House GOP is pushing MULTIPLE voter suppression bills through Congress all designed to block millions of American citizens from voting.

This isn't about security; it's about silencing voices.
