I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness β€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

β€˜No Reason He Should Have Died’: Alex Pretti’s Parents Open Up

Alex Pretti's parents keep a box crammed with 200 letters and cards that have poured into their Denver home since their son was shot and killed by immigration agents.

"He's my first born," Susan Pretti said. "He's the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day."

If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

This fund began following the killing of Renee Good on January 7, 2026, and will continue until immediate and post-traumatic needs are met.

The hypocrisy of the "We're becoming too politically correct" crowd seeing no issue with corporations, law firms, and news organizations kowtowing to a thin-skinned πŸŠπŸ’© that can't take criticism of any sort.

It's disheartening that I started exercising and dropped 50 lbs that my joints had to lug around everywhere and now I'm ALWAYS cold! Ugh!

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

This was sourced in a book I was reading. Not aware of it when it was published, but I applaud @bsky.app for providing tools to combat trolls here. Makes me feel humans may not be ready for anonymity and that crypto-currency is little more than money laundering.
