‘Monster’: Political World Sickened by Congressman’s Texts to Staffer Who Set Herself on Fire Disgusted reactions to a damning new report about Rep. Tony Gonzales's (R-TX) alleged affair with Regina Santos-Aviles rolled in on Monday.

www.mediaite.com/media/news/m... #ProudBlue #USDemocracy Tony Gonzales should resign in disgrace.Texas GOP delegation should call for his immediate resignation . But they won’t. Having a staffer set herself on fire after being sexually targeted and abused is not a deal breaker in the Texas GOP.

After text messages revealed that Rep. Tony Gonzales pressured a married staffer to send him explicit photos and engage in an affair that led to her suicide, Boebert joins Luna & Mace calling for him to resign and defends it from Republicans concerned about their majority.

Worse than vaccines!
Members of the MAHA movement are slamming the administration over a new executive order boosting domestic production of the weed killer glyphosate. Activists warn it carries long-term health risks—and they’re now threatening to pull their support for Trump in the midterms.

Yes. Let’s analyze the risks *after* we send billions of dollars worth of equipment to the region.

This is either misdirection, or the most glaring lack of coherent strategy I’ve ever seen.

The DOJ has made it clear that they don’t want to release the remaining 50 percent of documents in their possession. But our investigation isn’t over.

We’re still collecting information from various sources, and we won’t stop until we get justice for the survivors.

Title: New Documents Reveal A Controversial Vaccine Study’s Unusual Path to CDC Approval A Rolling Stone investigation uncovered irregularities in the ethics review of a $1.6 million research grant to examine the effects of a birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine in Guinea-Bissau

CDC safeguards were bypassed to fast-track a controversial vaccine study. There was no proper review, infants were put at risk, and scientists worldwide raised ethical concerns.

Once again, RFK Jr.’s "leadership" is putting public trust and lives at risk.

Trump Administration Will Collect Social Media Handles from Legal Immigrants and U.S. Citizens The new requirement poses serious threats to free speech and privacy rights.

The 3 million-plus people applying for immigration status changes will now be required to provide the government with their social media handles. This expansive new requirement poses a serious threat to constitutional rights.

Women’s Hockey Gold Medalists Reject Trump’s Two-Faced Invite The president has a history of declining to host solo White House celebrations for women’s championship teams.

The U.S. primary hockey team declined Trump's invitation to attend the State of the Union.

If they had integrity, the men's team would follow their lead and do the same.

In a dramatic and unexpected bipartisan moment, Bernie Sanders has reportedly secured the support of every Democrat, along with two GOP lawmakers, to pass a major measure aimed at recovering $75 billion and reversing proposed Medicaid cuts.

Democrats push for tariff refunds, daring vulnerable GOP lawmakers to join them A new Senate bill would require reimbursements to businesses within 180 days. House legislation calls for even quicker action.

Three top Democrats are proposing a 180-day deadline for CBP to pay refunds for all of the Trump tariffs the Supreme Court just invalidated. The 180 day timer would kick off once the bill became law.

It directs CBP to prioritize refunding small businesses.

The Pentagon's top general warns that attacking Iran endangers US troops. Congress needs to put a halt to Cadet Bone Spurs' plans immediately!

The Trump tariffs are the highest tax increase on the American public since World War II

Yes, you read that correctly

What's worse, he did it while taking health insurance away from 20 million people

And giving $75 billion to ICE so they can hunt US citizens

#TrumpTariffChaos

Trump again claims Iran’s nuclear sites were destroyed and that they don’t have a program.

Is he lying about that? Or is Witkoff lying about Iran being a week away from a bomb?

And if the nuclear program was blown to smithereens, why are going to attack Iran? 🤨

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Republicans literally cut Medicaid so that giant corporations could pay less in taxes than a teacher or firefighter.

That’s not fair, and it’s not fiscally responsible either. Our taxpayer dollars SHOULD be going toward things like health care—not tax breaks for billionaires.

U.S. Women's Hockey Team declines Trump's invitation to the State of the Union President Donald Trump invited the men's and women's hockey teams after both won gold medals in overtime games against Canada.

Trump: "I must tell you, we’re going to have to bring the women’s team, you do know that?"

U.S. Women's Hockey Team: “We are sincerely grateful for the invitation extended to our gold medal–winning U.S. Women’s Hockey Team and deeply appreciate the recognition of their extraordinary achievement."

I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day | Anonymous Objectification, hate, rape threats: the politicians debating online abuse mean well, but to truly understand, they need to see what I see

"It only takes a few minutes before there’s subtle or overt misogyny, such as comment sections on a girl’s post filled with remarks about her body, videos made by men or boys captioned with a degrading joke, and even topics such as domestic violence or rape, trivialized and laughed about."

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs.

We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.

RFK Jr. is a disgrace.

US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show Shooting death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, in Texas was not publicly disclosed by Department of Homeland Security

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

Trump snubbed as U.S. Women’s Hockey Team declines State of the Union invitation Olympic champions opt out of high-profile White House moment, citing scheduling conflicts

“.. AI got better and cheaper. Companies laid off workers, then used the savings to buy more AI capability, which let them lay off more workers. Displaced workers spent less. .. A feedback loop with no natural brake.”

No, what's disrespectful is for the U.S. men's hockey team to yuk it up like fucking clowns in response to Trump mocking the U.S. women's hockey team during a locker room call.

Fuck you and fuck the permission you offer for misogyny.
