Karoline Leavitt does almost daily press briefings. There should be equal and opposite briefings from Democrat spokespeople to counter her lies. God knows there would be plenty of material to counter.

I hope Jake Tapper is hard at work on his book about Trump’s dementia

FedEx bill for $150

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

Kim Davis is so angry that the Supreme Court failed to uphold her deeply held religious belief that "marriage is sacred," she's threatening to get three MORE divorces.

An index card with handwriting in blue ink that says, "'I am a handmaiden of civilization. I am a bookseller.'" Below is the source, "The Private Papers of a Bankrupt Bookseller" by Will J. Darling (Edinburgh: Oliver and Boyd, 1932).

Pardon my suddenly watery eyes, but a long-time regular just stopped in with this.

He'd been reading, found this line, and thought of me, so he wrote it out and brought it in.

"I am a handmaiden of civilization. I am a bookseller."

Today the Supreme Court granted review in an important case for the outcome of the 2026 elections. At stake is the fate of tens or even hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots.

Thou shalt replace Chuck Schumer with Chris Van Hollen, who personally went to El Salvador to find Kilmar. That’s the kind of courage we need right now.

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

why do we allow private equity in our society? it's obviously bad for everyone in the world except the people doing it. it should be illegal like fraud

How a Gap in Tennessee’s Probation System Leaves Domestic Violence Victims in Danger Probation officers pause in-person visits and home searches for offenders facing an arrest warrant. That reduced supervision can last for months — in one case it was over a year. Six mothers died duri...

They smell blood... even Russia is wading in. The BBC is not perfect, but globally it is the number one trusted broadcaster. Private individuals can be bought and manipulated— publicly owned, not so much. It's why they want to destroy it, and why we should protect it.

Flights are canceled because the FAA told airlines to cancel flights, not because of the shutdown.
There are other systems in place for scaling back airport activity when there aren't enough air traffic controllers. Those haven't been triggered.

Exactly!

We are leaving this one with you, as we call it a night!

See folks, when you don’t vote for the Democratic nominee, you get Cabinet appointees like this put in charge of your air travel.
Elections have consequences.

Orbán counts on Trump going full Argentina to save him from election doom The specter of Washington throwing a financial lifeline to save its ally in Budapest echoes another controversial White House gambit.

Trump helping Orbán makes perfect sense if his goal is to turn the US into Hungary 2.0. Orbán's government gutted the courts, muzzled the press, took over universities, and crushed civil society.

Trump is not confused here. He is admiring the blueprint.

Experts Say Blue States Can Stop Paying Federal Taxes. There’s Precedent If we could use nullification for people to get high, why can’t we use it to protect human rights and stop fascism?

Soft secession

Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

Yeah, real professionals will quit because this is not Justice. This is a concocted lie by a corrupt President who wants his followers to believe nonsense.

How a hostile America undermined its Black WWII veterans Servicemembers were attacked, discredited, and shortchanged on GI benefits—with lasting implications.

Most white colleges wouldn’t accept Black students, and Black colleges didn’t have the capacity to handle the post-war demand—by 1947, as many as 50,000 qualified Black veterans had been turned away.

“They want to keep it the brotherhood and don’t like that she’s coming in and challenging the status quo.”

Seems fair and reasonable

We were promised the files. Ghisliane got a puppy.

Khanna: I’ll break some news — we’re talking with Massie now about getting another major press conference with the survivors early next week at the Capitol. There’s going to be so much momentum, left and right, to say: out with the Epstein class…
