The disparity between the accountability for associating with Epstein overseas and here at home speaks very poorly about the United States’ lack of genuine values.

ICYMI - Dems flipped a seat in Tarrant County and Republicans called an emergency meeting.

Trump carried the district by 17 points in 2024, so if Texas Republicans are in panic mode there, the entire state is in play.

OMG: “The healthy baby boy was born through natural birth early Monday at 1:38 a.m., standing at birth at 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 139 pounds… While it was a natural birth, zoo staffers were on hand and created a soft-landing area to cushion the calf’s 6-foot drop during delivery.”

What To Know About Abortion In Texas Now Texas’ blanket ban has not eliminated access to abortion—just displaced it. Care has been forced out of state and into a statutory gray area. One thing remains consistent across these statutes: seekin...

Pregnant Texans seeking an abortion are now required to understand the implications of overlapping bans, civil liability, and legal ambiguity that shifts risk onto patients and those who help them. But receiving essential medical care shouldn’t require a law degree.

Illegal aliens and Latin hookers twerking at the SuperBowl.

Cant even watch a Super Bowl anymore because immigrants have literally ruined everything.

States and Congress — not the president — have the power to regulate elections. The SAVE Act is another attempt by the Trump administration to undermine elections and discourage Americans from making their voices heard. Tell Congress to stop this attack on the right to vote: bit.ly/4bLkoR1

Here’s the Thing About Bad Bunny’s Light Poles The artist scaled an electric pole while performing “El Apagón,” which literally translates to "the blackout."

While watching Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, you may have noticed the artist climbing electrical poles with other performers while singing “El Apagón.

The song, literally translating to “the blackout," references the devastating and ongoing power outages in Puerto Rico.

Republicans ask Supreme Court to block states from counting legally cast mail ballots If the Court sides with the RNC, millions of voters who depend on mail-in voting could be disenfranchised.

NEW: The Republican National Committee (RNC) is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to dramatically restrict mail-in voting nationwide and asking the justices to rule that ballots arriving after Election Day — even if mailed on time under state law — should not be counted.

Maxwell TAKES THE FIFTH as Epstein COVER-UP IMPLODES
YouTube video by Katie Phang Maxwell TAKES THE FIFTH as Epstein COVER-UP IMPLODES

Ghislaine Maxwell MUST answer questions, but GOP Rep. James Comer’s performative theater today doesn’t get us there.

I've got the latest on Maxwell’s deposition, Congress being able to view selective Epstein Files at DOJ, and Pamela Jo’s upcoming deposition.

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one. Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

RFK Jr. and Mike Tyson want you to believe that MAHA is just about eating healthier.

But in reality, MAHA has been focused on firing the food and medical research experts who actually make America healthy.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

This is why we need to be telling our stories.

The Trump Bubble Is Impregnable for Now—but Boy, Is It Going to Burst The president is on a collision course with an accountability moment. Either he or our democracy will prevail.

"Trump has created for himself a world in which he never hears a negative word about himself...he thinks himself answerable only to those who...think he can do no wrong...the rest of the country...doesn’t exist."
