MAJOR NEWS: Federal judges, including a Trump appointee, just BLOCKED Texas Republicans from using their new gerrymandered congressional map in 2026, ruling it was likely an illegal racial gerrymander. TX must revert to its 2021 map as Trumpโ€™s redistricting power grab collapses.

One can hope SiriusXM does the right thing. No excuses for defending pedophiles.

Az's healthcare premiums set to soar on 2026 online marketplace Arizona insurance officials are warning that those who buy healthcare coverage on the federal Affordable Care Act online marketplace should prepare for sticker shock when they purchase a plan next yea...

Pictured below are two of the people who caused ACA premiums to soar. "At least 75% of the premium increases ... is because they're losing the advanced premium tax credit. ... It's because of who was elected to Congress and the presidency.โ€

This is 100% correct. NO ONE can sit at home and collect Medicaid checks.

โ€œThe homegrowns are next.โ€ - Donald Trump, 04/14/25

Weโ€™ve been warned.

My son lives in Downtown LA. He says there are no serious protests or evidence of violence.

The scariest thing for he and his roommates is the massive ICE and LAPD presence that looks like โ€œoccupation.โ€

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

People from the first group of white South Africans granted refugee status for being deemed โ€œvictims of racial discriminationโ€ under Trump's refugee plan, check in for a connecting flight, at Dulles International Airport, in Dulles, Virginia, May 12, 2025.

Donald Trump is spewing outrageous lies about a โ€œwhite genocideโ€ in South Africa โ€” alleged mass killings of white Afrikaner farmers.

Trump is equating post-apartheid land redistribution with race war. Elon Musk, a native of South Africa and fellow white supremacist, feeds Trump the lies; Trumpโ€ฆ

based on some reading i'm doing at the moment, there is a book to be written โ€”ย if it already hasn't been โ€”ย on defense of apartheid south africa as the great international cause of the american right

Duckworth on if she's open to voting to confirm Mike Waltz: "I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing, which is handling classified information."

Trump's interview with Terry Moran yesterday where the fascist man baby told one outrageous lie after another and then had a total shit fit when Moran called him out on his whopper about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's non-existent MS-13 tattoo should be all over the news today. Haven't heard anything.

But China is not calling Trump. The phone is not ringing. They will wait him out, and force him to do what his spox swears he won't do. In public. They will twist the knife. No "off-ramps," sorry.

Trump's "never admit you were wrong" rule will be broken in the worst way.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Bessent is among the worst at hiding his dismay about Trump's moronic policies. Marco Rubio looks like a corpse when he talks now, but the Treasury Secretary looks like he's 2 seconds from shrieking, "You're right, it's total shit, but what can I do? He's threatening me, Larry!"

The right position is blame both.

We've learned our Constitution is anything but tight. It is not a guardrail, not if congressional majorities decide to step back and let the Executive Branch take power away from them.

Fortunately, the GOP's passivity is illegal and can be challenged in court.

Itโ€™s going to result in plants being built here that will not employ humans.

So your โ€œworking manโ€™s friendโ€ pose is bullshit.

I know what proper security protocols look likeโ€”this isnโ€™t it. NSA Mike Waltz using Signal for war planning & now we learn he uses his personal Gmail for official biz? Thatโ€™s not just reckless-itโ€™s lazy. These arenโ€™t rookie mistakes-theyโ€™re dangerous, deliberate choices. That ego is out of control.
