Oil markets are already up roughly 10% on weekend trading as geopolitical risk rises around the Strait of Hormuz (which handles about 20% of global oil supply).

Markets price risk quickly. Voters do too.

Fuel prices have a way of shaping public mood faster than speeches ever do.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Rep. Jamie Raskin addressing Attorney General Pam Bondi during a congressional hearing, urging her not to evade questions or engage in personal attacks, to set aside a “burn book,” and to stop speaking when members reclaim their time. Below is a split-screen MSNBC broadcast image showing Rep. Jamie Raskin speaking at a hearing on the left and Attorney General Pam Bondi seated at the witness table on the right with a nameplate reading “ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI.” A lower-third banner reads: “RASKIN TO BONDI: CARRYING OUT TRUMP’S ‘VENDETTA FACTORY.’”

Pam Bondi didn't listen to or obey these instructions. But that's on brand for someone performing for an audience of one.

Gary’s doing the best he can to clean up all the coal.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

“To you this is murder?”

“Yes. I know it is. — People are feeling like there’s nobody here to help us. What can we do? The constitution doesn’t seem to matter.”

She witnessed the killing of Alex Pretti, now she is bravely coming forward.

In front of every VA this weekend.

CNN: Are you okay?

Omar :I've survived war. And I'm definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people think they can throw at me because I'm built that way.

Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show." Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us." Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms. Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room. "I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

An editorial-style illustration shows a giant bald eagle standing on an airport tarmac with its wings spread. Ice clings to the edges of its feathers as a civilian worker in a brown winter jacket uses a de-icing hose, while a de-icing truck with an extended arm reaches toward one wing. Chunks of ice lie on the ground beneath the eagle. A control tower and airplanes appear faintly in the background under a blue sky.

Democracies don’t fail all at once.
They fail when maintenance stops.

We are not over-reacting. If anything, we’re under reacting to the actions of this regime.

Editorial cartoon of an anthropomorphized Bill of Rights character lying in an ICU hospital bed. The character looks exhausted, with dark circles under the eyes, and is connected to multiple medical monitors, tubes, and IV lines. Heart-rate monitors and medical equipment surround the bed in a dim, clinical room, suggesting critical condition.

An illustrated scene showing a man resembling Donald Trump walking hand in hand with a penguin across an icy landscape. A Greenland flag is planted in the ice nearby. The setting suggests a polar region, though penguins are not native to Greenland. Carmen Sandiego looks on confused.

Even Carmen Sandiego is wondering where the hell we are…

Young Boy In Tears After Soccer Opponent Calls Him An 'Illegal Immigrant' In Heartbreaking Video

Careful the things you say—children will listen.

This is just an example of the dangerous immigrant criminals attacking our nation. I bet he had kitten nuggets for dinner, too.

Alt National Park Service: Liam Ramos, a preschooler ICE detained the five-year-old Minnesota boy as he returned home from school and transported him to a detention center in Texas.

Alt National Park Service on Facebook: America 😢 They used him as bait in attempt to catch family members... new ICE tactics.

Ever since I saw this pic, it's been hard to think about anything else. A five-year-old. A kindergartener. ICE is scum.

AltNPS has 4.5 million FB followers eating out of the palm of their hand. And with that power, they did nothing. NO info on how to help Liam and his family. Nothing.

Renee Good Family’s Lawyer: We gave the federal government a letter of preservation last week. We asked them to preserve that vehicle to make sure that it’s stored in a safe manner so that none of the evidence gets altered…That is an example of one piece of evidence that we don’t have access to.

At this point, I’m ready to listen to Sauron’s platform.

Trump receives the coveted Master’s Tournament golf trophy and green jacket. He would have won it if he’d played.

A masked ICE officials with a 5 year old child

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars
