BREAKING: The state of California is launching an investigating into Elon Musk's AI company, xAI (maker of Grok chatbot) over the creation and spread of non-consensual sexual deepfakes on the X platform. A step that will most likely lead to a lawsuit.

Because someone needed to.

Europe having to perform military exercises against their primary threat, the United States.

It seems as though ICE has been instructed to escalate the violence to justify more violence, and to create propaganda to make us forget we outnumber them 10,000 to 1.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.

Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.

BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Sarah N. Lynch on X: "Fannie Mae officials saw no evidence of mortgage fraud against Letitia James, filing shows - https://t.co/ALl5X86Ib6" / X Fannie Mae officials saw no evidence of mortgage fraud against Letitia James, filing shows - https://t.co/ALl5X86Ib6

Not to mention Pulte himself was recently installed by Trump and it’s clear that after yet another more recent claim of fraud by Pulte on Adam Schiff, that the term “witch hunt” can now be officially classified as projection by the Trump regime.

Outside Chicago, a father of seven was too embarrassed to tell his family last Christmas that they might lose their home to foreclosure. A debt collector was demanding he pay almost $30,000 to settle a $10,000 second mortgage he said he hadn’t heard about in 15 years. Another homeowner, near San Francisco, faced foreclosure this year over a $121,000 second mortgage — even though he’d received a tax document from his lender in 2009 showing the debt had been canceled. And in suburban Washington, DC, a couple got a demand for more than $86,000 in back interest on a loan for which they hadn’t received any monthly statements in nearly a decade, despite laws that preclude any such interest charges during periods when regular statements weren’t sent.

This is a tangible example of how regulatory agencies matter to people in practical ways. The CFPB had been investigating and blocking these abuses of the law, until Russ Vought and Trump stopped them from doing so.

Trump could soon make America’s refugee program a tool for white nationalism The White House is considering a plan to overhaul refugee admissions in favor of right-wing whites.

After bringing white South Africans to the United States as refugees earlier this year, the Trump administration has now granted protection to members of far-right European parties.

This plan, which becomes official today, makes the country's refugee program into a tool for white nationalism.

Maybe a set up to try to prove they really are targeting illegals no matter who employs them?

Powerful and moving interview with Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda:

"He's just Andrew. He's no longer a prince... This normal girl, from a normal family, has taken down a prince. We are so proud of her."

"She was extraordinary. She did the extraordinary."

Kristi Noem is a liar and a dog killer.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

A lot of people leave the church because of them, they can be quite mean.

Why National Guard troops are now picking up trash in D.C. Why has the Trump administration assigned troops to garbage duty in the nation’s capital? The closer one looks at the answer, the worse it appears.

Trump laid off National Park Service to the tune of there was 200 and now there’s 20. So here we are..

Christian Nationalists are not the same as Christian, they don’t walk the walk and they have been fooled.

"I was only following orders" was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials. History is a good thing to learn.

Those who don't know their history, repeat it.

NEW: Trump’s FBI is yanking agents off immigration cases to deal with the counterterrorism threats.

Thousands being reassigned—because the terrorism threat repercussions resulting from the Iran airstrikes weren’t thought through, and now they’re bracing for impact.

Been over on X fighting in the trenches…

The latest on Fannie Mae is to be expected given the recent interference. They’re expected to have 8 employees per group show up each day, good managers being fired, etc. Moral is down, productivity is down, people are leaving. Treating high-performance employees like sty pigs isn’t efficient.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus on Why Canada is DONE with Trump In conversation with Canadian MP Charlie Angus, we talk tariffs, tyranny, and why Canada’s done kissing Trump’s ring.

Give it a rest, dude. Sheesh.

I really think the end result is a karma kinda thing…

I was born with a genetic heart defect that was considered a pre-existing condition. It made me stronger but it also put my life at risk several times per year. It was never insurable until ACA and I had it corrected surgically in my 40s. Thank you.
