Listening to this press conference it seems clear that Trump is mentally gone and that his team is consolidating power for President J.D. Vance.

Which is why Vance now blaming Biden for Epstein - not a blunder but a strategy to keep top of news and bring down Trump.

Al Jazeera is my go-to news station. They report real news. This is a crime against humanity & should be dealt with in The Hague. RIP to every journalist.

Texas can fine them or dock their pay, but it’s a constitutional tool, protected and legit.

Even the Texas Supreme Court said it in 2021: the state constitution allows quorum-breaking as a tactic for the minority, even if it shuts the place down.

Texas Dems are fighting to save democracy 🔥

Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) —dragged at his own town hall.

He should have known when it kicked off w/constituents reciting the Pledge of Allegiance w/extra emphasis on “justice for all.”

Then came the truth:
“I don’t think you’re the right fit for us anymore.”

Even telling him it’s time to step down.

Venezuelan men the U.S. deported to El Salvador are starting to speak out.

The Trump administration sent over 230 of them, many with no criminal record, to CECOT, a brutal prison. No charges. No convictions. Just locked away in a place one man said “wasn’t meant for humans.”

The People Being Arrested By ICE That No One’s Talking About The Trump administration’s deportation machine is detaining immigrant women at record numbers — and they've become invisible targets.

Andrea said the women were kept in a small room meant for visitor. It was the only way to separate them from the larger male population. She had no bed, no shower, no outdoor access. They were denied access to a shower because officers said it was a male-only facility with nowhere for women to bathe

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal — and we as a nation are directly implicated in the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

In response, the United States must stop all military assistance to Israel.

There's no moral clarity in wreaking vengeance on innocent people.
