We wanted to understand how rugged English-Scots-Irish culture has shaped America. So we talked to three white South African billionaires at a sex party in the Bahamas.

NEW: Denver’s Auditor says he will not countersign Mayor Johnston’s unilateral contract with Flock that bypassed City Council approval. The Mayor says he doesn’t need the Auditor’s approval. 9NEWS has reported Denver is looking to replace Flock with another company anyway.

Tomorrow, I’m leading a deposition of Les Wexner for oversight dems. Wexner was Epstein’s largest benefactor and contributor of wealth. Why? And what does he know?

I have a bunch of questions, and I bet you do too.👇🏾

If one had the kind of mind that paid attention to frivolous things like evidence instead of hard conspiracy theory one might be tempted to think that the mRNA COVID vaccine works

Yeah, that thing that was defined with definitive evidence back in the 1800s, and is consistent with every new discovery in infectious disease ever since, and has lead to to most significant decrease in infectious diseases … RFK JR doesn’t believe in it.

Why Does Trump Hate Sesame Street?
Why is Trump so hell-bent on defunding PBS?It’s part of a larger plan — one where he can control not just what we do, bu Why Does Trump Hate Sesame Street?

A federal judge ordered the Trump regime to restore slavery exhibits to a national historical site in Philadelphia after officials removed them.

This isn’t the first time Trump has tried to erase our history. It’s all part of his plan to attack the American mind.

Stephen Colbert Slams CBS On-Air for Banning Interview With Democrat Candidate The late-night host blasted FCC chairman Brendan Carr.

It should terrify us when networks silence voices to appease regulators. This isn’t about fairness; it’s about fear. Credit to Stephen Colbert for refusing to play along. That’s the kind of courage democracy depends on.

Donald Trump said today that "Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting."

Let Them Fly First Class: Kristi Noem’s DHS Luxury Jet Scandal Inside Noem's flying palace. Plus: Pentagon demands obedient, deadly AI. The race to deploy untested nuclear reactors. Lawmakers move to rein in presidential pardons. And remembering Robert Duvall.

The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?

Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

Trump’s SHADY Law Firm Deals BLOW UP IN HIS FACE!!
YouTube video by Katie Phang Trump’s SHADY Law Firm Deals BLOW UP IN HIS FACE!!

Last year, multiple mega law firms pledged almost $1 BILLION in “pro bono” legal services to Convicted Felon Trump & his Regime.

I am demanding these firms actually show their work as I don't think they’re benefiting society, but merely helping Trump line his own pockets.

Tweet from the US Department of State: "The civilization that gave the world
Beethoven, established the rule of law, built the Sistine Chapel, and circumnavigated the globe must cast off the shackles of shame and self-doubt.

Europe must reverse its decline. 

Europe must survive."

This is just open, unabashed white nationalist rhetoric at this point.

The right to vote is enshrined in the Constitution.

The "right" of armed federal cops to arrest, beat, and kill people with anonymity is not.

BORIS SANCHEZ: You had administration officials suggesting Pretti was brandishing a weapon, and we all saw that wasn't the case. Are you willing to just blindly trust the work of ICE without judicial oversight?
