Maddening.

I see our tax dollars are hard at work. 🙄

This Week In The Big Picture Last night, James Talarico won the Democratic nomination for U.S.

Texas might be in play after Talarico wins big. And the GOP’s white supremacist mask keeps slipping.

Unbelievable...

Perfect. No notes.

The Great White Supremacy Unmasking Musk and Trump have brought once fringe views into the mainstream of the right

The line between fringe white supremacist ideology and mainstream political discourse has become increasingly blurred. And those ideas are being publicly echoed by Donald Trump and amplified on X by Elon Musk. In turn, it’s shaping government policy at the highest levels.

At least!

At all.

If you’re launching massive strikes, own what it is.

These people have no plan or endgame.

Screenshot of a social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'The Radical Left Democrats, a Party that has completely lost its way, are complaining bitterly about the very necessary and important attack, by the United States and Israel, on Iran. What most people understand is that they are only complaining BECAUSE I DID IT and, if I didn’t do it, they would be screaming — Why didn’t “TRUMP” attack Iran, he should do it, IMMEDIATELY? There’s nothing surprising about this! It’s the same people that the other night at The State of the Union Address wouldn’t stand for ANYBODY, including a mother who lost her beautiful daughter to an illegal alien, a Great and Brave Helicopter Pilot, who got the Congressional Medal of Honor, or a 100-year-old Veteran Warrior whose Bravery is Legend! The fact is, whatever I do, they will be on the opposite side. These people are SICK, CRAZY, and DEMENTED, but America, despite them all, is now BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP'

Big statement coming from a small, small man.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Secret Storage Lockers Why did it take a UK reporter to uncover what was hiding in plain sight?

Guest writer Gloria Horton-Young reports Epstein may have hidden key evidence in storage units the FBI never searched. Let that sink in.

Real lives are at stake, and this is how they choose to frame it.

I see no difference between them.

$55.8 trillion at the top, and yet Americans are constantly told to tighten our belts?

Nearly every single problem our nation faces today is made worse by the massive amounts of untraceable corporate money in our politics. Americans agree, we need to end Citizens United!

Surprise, surprise...

A 4-time draft dodgers pledges to sacrifice as many of our brave children as necessary to keep us from focusing on his role in the Epstein crimes.

How shameful it is to stand there and tell people to prepare for more loss in a war no one asked for.

Our Wins Of The Week Three years ago today, we launched The Big Picture.

My favorite moment from this week? The USA women's Olympic hockey team rising above the noise and showing how much integrity they have despite Trump’s BS. 👏

Some stories are about what’s happening right now. Others are about why it matters.

Trump's SOTU a bust. DoJ deletes files related to Trump accuser. Clintons deposed in Epstein probe. Donald Trump Gives State of the Union Address

For a round-up of this week's need-to-know news stories, look no further:

Trump is a second-generation immigrant, by the way, but it's not like facts matter to these folks.

If it talks like a cult and acts like a cult...

The standard can’t be ‘he probably won’t.’

A Tale of Two Teams—Why Trump’s Joke Wasn't Funny Locker room "jokes" contribute to a bigger problem with how women are treated.

Both U.S. Olympic hockey teams won gold. But only the men got a presidential call and celebration, while the women were met with a joke at their expense. The contrast isn’t just about sports. It’s about how respect, power, and attention are allocated in our culture.

This is what resistance looks like. 👏
