I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Phang: How are these Epstein victims supposed to feel about closure when you see Blanche meeting with Maxwell and then giving her a minimum-security camp move?

And now, conversations allegedly that Trump is going to have with the DOJ about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell. It is an abomination

If you are a Texan being investigated for your connections to "radical leftist" groups, I am interested in representing you against harassment by Ken Paxton's office.

October 5, 2025 On Friday the Minnesota Star Tribune reported a conversation on the messaging app Signal between one of Stephen Miller’s top deputies, Anthony Salisbury, and a senior advisor to Secretary of Defense P...

This is horrifying!

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

The Feds are lying about the poor guy they killed in Chicago. They lied about him being a criminal. They lied about his traffic violations. They lied about him threatening their lives. And they lied about an agent getting hurt.

The Real Reason Trump Is a Threat to the Economy It’s not just the agenda. It’s also the shambolic, vibes-based way he’s pursuing it.

“Trump’s decision on the Rhode Island wind farm…undermines what he claims to be his most important goals: making America strong and energy-independent while lowering the cost of living and helping the forgotten working class.”

Trump’s immigration police state is growing at warp speed And now more local cops than ever before are signing up to work with ICE.

More local cops than ever before are signing up to work with ICE.

At the end of the Biden presidency, ICE had just 135 287(g) deals in place; now there are 1,001—a 641 percent increase.

Elon Musk is a leading proponent of worldwide fascism who is encouraging right-wing violence in the UK.
A U.S. government that cared about democracy would cancel Musk's federal contracts and seize his national security assets. But since Trump is a fascist, he won't.

69% percent of Democrats and 21% of Independents are either furious or angry.

Moore: "The National Guard is responsible during this occupation for 744 cubic yards of mulch spread, 886 bags of trash collected, 27 feet of fence pained...We did not have to ask these citizen soldiers to give up their lives and have Americans pay so we could paint fences."

Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this?

DOJ: Yes.

Nationwide anti-Trump protests planned for Labor Day: what to know

A number of protests against President Donald Trump are set to take place across the country on Labor Day.

Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

We now have an economy subject to the whims and desires of one person, unaccountable to anyone else.

Call it what it is: a dictatorship.

As if letting Putin in "The Beast" wasn't enough to show the incompetence of this administration's national security detail, there's this too:

'I don't care about Direct File': IRS chief says agency plans to end free filing program Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Bill Long said the agency will end its Direct File program.

The IRS's free Direct File tool is now "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief.

This comes after tax prep companies like Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the for years to block it.

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

How about it????

Former NOAA Administrator Richard Spinrad: "I am convinced that the staff cuts that we saw were a contributing factor to the inability of the emergency managers to respond."
