Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay A move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

Federal workers did not ask for this shutdown — they show up every day to serve our country. In 2019, Trump himself signed a law guaranteeing them back pay after a shutdown.

Now he's going back on his word and using their paychecks as leverage. This is illegal.

Some White Folks Got Jumped By An Elephant in Africa Somewhere deeeep in Botswana, at the intersection of colonial fantasy and common sense, a group of white tourists decided to paddle their little canoes straight through the living room of a six-ton Bl...

Soooo, did y’all see the news story about the white tourists who went on a safari in Botswana and almost got stomped to death by a Black Mama Elephant?

What followed was mud, mayhem, and one tourist almost getting stomped to death into the Okavango.

Margolin previously served as the security chief at Marine Base Quantico but was dismissed from that role after accidentally firing his weapon into the floor of his office.

They’re really excelling at selecting woefully underqualified individuals. The Justice Department has appointed retired Marine Corps Colonel Daren K. Margolin as the new head of its immigration court system.

Tomorrow, I, along with Senator Kaine will be forcing a vote to block President Trump’s use of our Armed Forces to conduct strikes against vessels in the Caribbean Sea.

Congress has not authorized these strikes. They are illegal and risk dragging America into another war.

South Carolina's criminal code sentences a rapist to 30 years for rape, but if SC's new S 323 becomes law, it'd sentence a woman to death for getting an abortion

Meaning—if a man impregnates a woman via rape he may get 30 years, but if that impregnated victim gets an abortion she would be executed😐

It's so ridiculous that MAGAs believe the GOP line that "Democrats want to give free healthcare to immigrants."

My dudes immigrants aren't getting free healthcare in the United States. American citizens aren't even getting free healthcare. You know who is?

The people lying to you about immigrants.

I wish I could cancel my subscription again.

This you guys?

This was the plan

If Congress could say anything about this at all, that'd be great!

It's tiring, and no one ever wants to acknowledge the flip side of it: IT COULD ALSO BE BETTER! Let's focus on THAT! But people who say "it could always be worse" aren't commiserating with you, they're trying to dismiss your grievances! SMH.

LMAO way to go Chicago restaurants….they got ICE Barbie out there on FOX “News" crying that her gestapo agents can’t find places to have lunch or use the bathroom 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I hope you have someone in your life that has your back like Trump does for rich pedophiles.

What Does It Mean to Poll a Genocide? How American media outlets turn mass murder into metric while Gazans die.

Let me ask y’all somethin’… what kind of country takes polls about genocide?

They’re turning slaughter into a metric. Suffering into data. Atrocity into analysis.

Legacy newspapers: "Print media is dying, and the public will suffer for it."

Also legacy newspapers: "We can't offend the government with information and framing that helps the public."

The Trump administration plans to mint a $1 coin featuring Trump’s image, yet another illegal move. This violates the 1866 law, which states that only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency.

imagine getting a pep talk to "do the fucking news" by peter thiel's hand puppet. i would simply turn to dust.

i can't even make a joke. unprecedented levels of cringe.

This Senate Judiciary Committee hearing is a sad joke.

It’s devolved into a platform for members of the Trump cartel to spew talking points and propaganda.

It’s not a venue for accountability or the truth.

Here’s a full summary of the hearing:

Senate: you’re doing all the things you said you would NOT do during your confirmation hearing!

Pam Bondi: yup

Senate: ok

You’re all caught up.

So far, the only thing of note in this pathetic Pam Bondi judiciary hearing is that she has absolutely no fear of ever being held accountable for lying under oath to the Senate and the American people, or doing whatever is necessary to protect Trump and his rich pedophile friends.

When hypocrisy is your brand

The DoJ continues to get push back from within, forcing leadership to fire or demote prosecutors who won’t violate their oaths.
