Donor Who Gave $130 Million to Pay Troops Is Reclusive Heir to Mellon Fortune

We shouldn’t make it optional for the super-rich to fund the government If they feel like it now and then. There’s a mechanism called “taxes.”

Several food banks have begun issuing statements to communities asking for donations as the need for food assistance has increased and is expected to increase even more in November as the USDA has announced that SNAP benefits will not go out.

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

RFK Jr to urge Americans to eat more saturated fats, alarming health experts Guidance from health and human services secretary contradicts decades of dietary recommendations

RFKJr's brainworm is on a tear. Throughout his life RFKJr has engaged in self-destructive conduct, like his 13 years as a heroin addict. Now he wants other Americans to follow him in the same sort of self-destructive binge. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

DO NOT BE DISTRACTED!!!

TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.

That was my first thought.

In God we trust;
Everybody else: provide data.

Right wing violence occurs 6 times more often than Left wing violence.

Trump lies again.

Meanwhile, the government is shut down, and Donald Trump has recently demolished the east wing in order to make an enormous Golden ballroom.

Maybe the campaign can make it through tomorrow without any new controversies. At least one day would be nice.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

Aren’t ICE Agents Grabbing People Without Warrants?!?
What Investigation?!?

I hope voters make them pay for all of Trump’s corruption, incompetence, lies and malfeasance. It is only made possible by the acquiescence and cowardice of Republicans in Congress, so they are the ones who should be held accountable for all of it in the short term.

THIS JUST IN! The Justice Department investigated crimes! I hate our Supreme Court. If it weren't for them, Trump would be in prison right now for January 6th.

Opinion: Words of condemnation aren’t enough. Lawmakers must pass anti-ICE legislation. If we fail as lawmakers to match our words with action, we're giving ICE the green light to escalate.

"This is an ongoing cycle – ICE does something terrible, community members fight back and lawmakers issue words of condemnation. But if we fail as lawmakers to match our words with action, we're giving ICE the green light to continue to escalate," writes @juliasalazar.bsky.social.

DHS is almost certainly under-the-table pitching applicants on federal immunity to civil rights liability as a perk, and are instructing ICE and CBP personnel that they are immune for civil rights violations

The dream of every Muslim, every Arab-American, Jewish-American, Latino-American, Black American, Asian-American, Native American, LGBTQ+ American, Disabled American is simply to be treated the same as any other American.

And Trump's goal is to disrespect and exclude every one of them.

ICE detains mother dropping off child at elementary school—refuses to even look at her U.S. legal papers.

"What documents?" agent sarcastically replies—holding up the folder.

"The ones in your hands!" witnesses yell back.

Madison Elementary School in Santa Ana, California.

DHS Tries To Unmask Ice Spotting Instagram Account by Claiming It Imports Merchandise There is no evidence the Instagram and Facebook account, called Montcowatch, sells anything. Lawyers from the ACLU say the move is "wildly outside the scope" of DHS' authority.

DHS is trying to force Meta to expose the people behind an ICE-watching account by claiming they’re violating an “importing merchandise” law. The ACLU says that’s absurd—there’s no merchandise, no crime, and no legal basis.

These monsters will go to any lengths to take people by surprise.

TRUMP ejects/revokes the Press Pass of any Journalists who ask him inconvenient questions. Media craving for "access to power" - to the White House/Pentagon Press briefings- is their prime source of info/reporting for decades. Thus, the only push-back to DJT's big lies is in post-briefing analysis.
