How Newsom and allies delivered a redistricting counterpunch against Trump The Democratic victory marks a concrete rebuttal to the president’s political agenda less than a year into his second term.

California voters approved Gov. Gavin Newsom’s congressional map, Prop 50, giving Democrats a potential boost of up to five House seats.

Apparently honest work providing a service reporting on the financial sector was not lucrative enough for her.

Official figures show that neo-Nazis and far-right extremists committed 42,788 crimes in Germany last year -- the highest number in over a decade. They perpetrated 1,488 violent attacks against migrants, refugees, or political opponents, marking a 17% increase from the previous year. These attacks left at least 1,068 people injured.

One can easily imagine a group of people attending the Wannsee Conference in 1943 speaking in the same manner and JD Vance also characterizing them as rude “kids.”

Some of the brightest former CIA, FBI, and NSA minds are about to deliver a blunt assessment of the threat we face. I’ve had Steven Cash (He was awarded the CIA’s Medal of Merit for his work on a sensitive project) @steadystatevets.bsky.social on my podcast...he’s the real deal. Stay tuned.

Criminal trump is so dim. He thinks he is stopping fentanyl coming from Venezuela.

"illicit fentanyl supply in the United States does not come from Venezuela. According to the U.S. DEA and other experts, Venezuela plays virtually no role in the production or smuggling of fentanyl"

Why is this woman still in office. She’s a serial liar and a political lickspittle who is turning the DOJ into a police force for Donald Trump.

SLAG

With your breath upon me
My love flames high with garnet sparks--
Like a furnace of molten steel,
Windblown.

Having felt the breath of God,
Are the stars
Mere smoldering slag
Fallen from an immortal crucible
Where souls are in the making?

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.
