No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid" We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

How do you do, fellow state senators, GOP attorneys, and balding, 31-year-old Hitler enthusiasts?

"A dark day": Pentagon confiscates badges of Defense reporters The Pentagon Press Association said the move raises public accountability concerns and weakening free speech.

Nearly every Pentagon reporter from almost every major media outlet in America turned in their press badges today, after refusing to endorse the Defense Department's new rules that they say would make it impossible to do their jobs independently.

We've been beating the drum for Democrats to gerrymander all states possible. This prevents us from being crushed by Republican gerrymandering, so we aren't unilaterally disarming. Some Democrats (Gavin Newsom) support keeping us in the fight. We need these blue states to step up and not surrender.

P.S. Over 40 million Americans benefit from ACA subsidies and Medicaid expansion. Those subsidies, if not extended, sunset at the end of THIS year.

When the next generation of your party is more repugnant than the current generation, it’s proof positive your ideologies are deeply toxic and un-American.

…or horrified by the blatant capitulation of mainstream media, law firms, corporations & academic institutions

…or simply fed up with the constant gaslighting, the daily assault on rule of law, the revision of our values & history

This is your fight.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

ICE Stranded a 17-Year-Old on I-20 After Arresting His Father. The Mississippi Dad Now Faces Deportation. A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.
