Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Don’t get lost in the circus.

Drowned out: While Texans beg for help, the GOP redraws the map to cheat.

The purpose of the special session wasn’t about flood relief. It was about stealing elections.

Let me make it plain: Over 100 dead. Flood victims plead for help. Republicans were busy rigging maps for Trump.

really interesting that the vice president cites as a key intellectual influence a guy who thinks black people are natural slaves

Darnella Frazier was 17 when she had the presence of mind to document what was happening to George Floyd.

These ICE abduction videos differ but also convey an out-of-control state abusing its power.

Sometimes bearing witness is among the most important forms of civil resistance.

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Suspected FSU shooter promoted white supremacist views, spewed racist vitriol against black people: report Florida State University shooter Phoenix Ikner touted vile white supremacist views that raised serious concerns among his classmates — including that “Rosa Parks was in the wrong”…

All day long yesterday, the MAGA dipshits on Elon Musk’s platform were screeching that the FSU shooter was a far-left LGBT Palestinian sympathizer antifa liberal prog.

Huh. Weird.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

Mom, 3 kids detained in ‘horrifying’ ICE probe in Northern NY The family has been transferred out of New York state.

A mother and her three children were snatched by ICE from a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, a rural town in northern New York.

But the location is no coincidence—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, LIVES THERE. He allowed his own neighbors, including a third grader, to be jailed. Deplorable.
