Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Trump told us the horrifying reason why Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not back in the U.S. The Trump administration wants to send Americans to foreign prisons. Keeping Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is key to that lawless plan.

At Law Dork, I wrote about that Oval Office visit — and what it means:

Every day, it looks more like a regime.

Now the Trump administration is pushing to put Columbia University under a consent decree—a court-enforced agreement that would legally bind the school to federal demands, with a judge overseeing whether they “comply.”

Donald Trump was recorded in the Oval Office happily bragging about how much money his billionaire buddies made off of his shady tariff scheme. (Insider trading amuses and delights this group.)

“He made $2.5 million today, and he made $900 million! That’s not bad,” Trump said, pointing to…

'Move Fast': Inside Team Trump's Furious Defiance of the Courts Donald Trump's advisers are attacking judges for daring to “control” him. Trump wants the one objecting to his deportation plans to be “IMPEACHED!!!”

One close Trump adviser simply says that the president’s ultimate leverage against certain judges who try to stand in the way of his agenda is that the judiciary does not command an army, while the president of the United States does.

Keith E. Sonderling is the new acting head of The Institute of Museum and Library Services, the main source of federal funding for libraries and museums across the country. President Trump issued an executive order last week saying he aims to close the agency.

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

Trump is bulldozing the Education Department, which helps homeless and disabled kids gain access to school, while he does a car commercial at the White House for the richest man in the world.
Robber barons are waging class warfare on the rest of us.

Speaking as someone who’s been shouted down by an infinite number of pompous little men, I saw the lump of rage caught in Zelenskyy’s throat when they said, “Say thank you or it will hurt worse.”

I felt the rush of blood to his neck and face as he calmly said, “thank you” through gritted teeth.

Seriously. I did some senior sessions last year where the moms were with the students, and I asked them how many photos they had with their children. The answer was "not many". As a person who believes that pictures are all we have left when it's all over, it's those moments are important.

Do you often take the pictures but aren't IN them? Are you finally who you are meant to be and want to embrace what that means?

Let's get you in the picture.

Image of the Minnesota state bird - the Common Loon - with the "don't tread on me" snake in its beak, wings held triumphantly aloft. The loon is in the colors of the new MN flag, dark blue wings, light blue chest with a white starburst over its heart. Below is the text "fuck around and find out"

What is USAID, the U.S. Agency for International Development? Formed in 1961, the agency with a roughly $40 billion budget provides humanitarian assistance abroad and funds other projects to further U.S. interests.

BREAKING:Mexico's president says tariffs will be delayed for one month.

Claudia Sheinbaum posted she had a "good conversation" with President Trump. He will delay implementing tariffs on Mexico for a month after Sheinbaum agreed to send 10,000 troops to the U.S. border to prevent drug trafficking.

Yesterday's plans got canceled due to circumstances out of anyone's control, so I took the teen and his gf downtown to walk around and enjoy our local community. It was a good reminder of what we need to continue to fight for even when it'll hurt mentally, emotionally, and possibly physically.

here's what we know so far: a teenager obtained a weapon, just as our founders intended, and took that weapon into a school, just as our founders intended, and shot and killed a teacher and a student, just as our founders intended, and ended up dead, just as our founders intended
