Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, โ€œSwear her in.โ€ They wouldnโ€™t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system youโ€™re protecting really is.

Politicians like Zohran Mamdani get out there and mingle with the people they want to vote for them. These politicians are more in touch with voters and their concerns.

Self-important, unstable Nancy Mace, on the other hand, uses cops to keep voters at a distance when she goes through an airport.

So, Scott, are you saying Russia must pay a price for interfering in our presidential elections on behalf of Epstein's best pal?

Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a โ€œweakness.โ€

โ€œDiversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,โ€ Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.

This is an outrageous lie and smear targeting Native Americans. There was no practice of child sacrifice by Native Americans, and this is a subject which has been explored exhaustively by sociologists, anthropologists and historians.

Mockler: Iโ€™m 23 years old, and Gen Zers have spent all of our formative years living in a political system thatโ€™s purely dysfunctional. People in my generation see the president posting memes online rather than actually negotiating with the other side.

Wouldnโ€™t it be great if we had a functioning Republican Party that had a few people in it who were willing to occasionally stand up and call out the worst abuses of power and corruption of their leader?

Instead, the Republican Party operates like an organized crime family.

The Treasury Secretary owns thousands of acres of soybean farmland which he is required by law to sell but hasn't, probably because his boss's trade war had made it worthless.

Today's Ronald Reagan demolition of Trump policies is about how immigration is the beating heart of the United States of America.

Bovino is on videotape violating an existing court order by tossing canisters of teargas into a crowd of peaceful protesters. And let's not forget that Bovino was previously found by a California jury to have given false evidence under oath. He's not a credible person.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and theyโ€™re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

A federal judge ORDERS senior Border Patrol officer Greg Bovinoโ€”the face of Chicago's Operation Midway Blitz โ€” to attend in person at a hearing she just set on Tuesday. He's accused of violating her order by lobbing tear gas into a crowd.

At anything beyond D+8 on the generic, the current GOP gerrymanders will likely boomerang. Trump will need other tools to suppress the people's will.

DoorDash and DARVO attacks on working-class women A woman said her customer exposed himself to her. How did she become the villain?

The types of viral DARVO rhetoric that have been leveraged against celebrity women like Amber Heard are now being weaponized against everyday, working-class women who report sexual violence. And AI is helping accelerate these narratives. My latest dispatch from hell:

Met warns that hostile states are recruiting youths for crime Cdr Dominic Murphy's warning comes weeks after three people were convicted in a case linked to Russia.

This season of Slow Horses is particularly brilliant in every respect, but it has the added advantage of being drawn from current headlines. UK intelligence assessed, joined with Swedish and German intel, that the Russian intel services were recruiting disaffected young men

Still searching for the US jurisdiction that has sharia law. Anyone got an idea? Banning sharia law seems to be a response to demands for release of the Epstein files.

M.I.T. Rejects a White House Offer for Special Funding Treatment

It's clearer by the day that Columbia making a deal with Trump in July was a catastrophe for higher education as a whole. It gave terrible people a bottomless appetite for extortion. The other eight universities must follow MIT's lead.
