Trump came to Rome, and more people turned out in opposition than in support, with traffic diverted early due to the crowds.

Thank you, Northwest Georgia, for showing up and making your voices heard. Your commitment to a stronger #GA14 does not go unnoticed.

"Trump lied, Piers, when he said he never went on the [Epstein] plane."

I debated Piers Morgan on Trump in the Epstein files.

I brought receipts.

First Trump picks a candidate. Then he advertises the whole field.

Bold strategy. Truly keeps everyone guessing, including him.

Meanwhile, everyone needs to go and flood the polls to vote for Shawn Harris.

As Trump becomes more unpopular and the fragile MAGA coalition falls apart, the regime is getting more desperate in its attacks on free speech. Corporate leaders who side with fascists over our freedom of speech are making a bad bet that they will regret. CBS canโ€™t be trusted under MAGA management.

This is the interview Donald Trump didnโ€™t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried weโ€™re about to flip Texas.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Ossoff tells voters โ€˜we will overcome this togetherโ€™ โ€ข Georgia Recorder At a campaign rally in Atlanta, U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff told voters that โ€œthe first light of dawn is on the horizon.โ€

"They came to the doorstep of John Lewisโ€™s congressional district," Ossoff said, referring to the recent FBI raid at the Fulton County elections center. "And as a result, we are going to mobilize the biggest and most unstoppable turnout in state history.โ€

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistโ€”because the person felt she did didnโ€™t deserve the recognition.

Honestly, I long for the day again when I can wake in the morning and not have to brace myself from some new horror committed by a man and his regime who are feeding themselves on the ruins of public liberty.

Across Georgia, thousands of students are making the same calculation. From Lakeside High to Kennesaw State, theyโ€™re deciding that a suspension is a small price to pay to draw attention to the actions of ICE and the recent tragic deaths in Minneapolis.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE
