Betcha feckless Donald *still* won't criticize his hero Vladimir. Because he doesn't care.

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"
KN fired that's a F**king joke. You're fired, but no worry we got a new job with no responsibility 😂😂. Can I still use my Plane????

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."
Shame 🫠 on America
Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.
Thank you RM.
The stupid MF president DJT has started another war. He has the taste of blood, he can't stop. Israel's war.

We’ve had a few people reach out asking what the “salt box” in PROJECT SALT BOX means.
Let me let you in on the very Baltimore lore behind our name.

ICE HAS PURCHASED A WAREHOUSE NEAR EL PASO, TX.
The cost of this warehouse was $123M. It will operate at an estimated cost of $620.5M per year. It removes $300K from the state’s annual tax revenue. It will hold up to 8,500 detainees.
Communities in OK, MS, VA, and MN have stopped warehouse sales to ICE.

✅ Register to vote now. The 2026 midterms are coming.

I feel like a really unfun fun fact the general public should be aware of: when you reach out to ICE with media inquiries or for statements, they usually just respond with a list of mugshots of people they’ve arrested.

If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.
