NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Here is Trump when he owned the Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA pageants bragging about how he “was able to get away with” going backstage when contestants were naked since he was the boss and he had to do “inspections.”

Iowa Senator Joni Ernst is not seeking reelection in 2026: www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p...

Iowa swung hard to the right starting in 2016, but the 3 special elections that have happened in Iowa so far in 2025 have swung toward Dems by 22, 24, & 26 percentage points. Two seats have flipped blue.

Absolutely incredible video of a woman standing up to ICE. This is resistance

Exclusive: The Trump administration is seeking a $1 billion settlement from UCLA cnn.it/3UPtS3V

He Came to the U.S. to Support His Sick Child. He Was Detained. Then He Disappeared. Like most of the more than 230 Venezuelan men deported to a Salvadoran prison, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas had followed U.S. immigration rules. Then Trump rewrote them.

12/ By and large, these were men who had been playing by the rules of the country’s immigration system.

Then, the Trump administration changed the rules.

Here’s our full story:

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

ICE memo outlines plan to deport migrants to countries where they are not citizens The dramatic shift in policy could result in thousands of immigrants being deported to places where they lack family ties or even a common language.

Breaking news: Federal immigration officers may deport immigrants with as little as six hours’ notice to countries other than their own, even without assurances that the arrivals will be safe from persecution or torture, a top official said.

It doesn't matter where you stand on the underlying issues. We can't tolerate this.

"They released their insane asylum population into our country" -- Trump still thinks that people who make political asylum claims come from insane asylums

The builders behind Alligator Alcatraz and other detention sites are top DeSantis donors.

They scored no-bid or “emergency” contracts worth tens of millions—while funneling cash into his political machine.

Pay-to-play isn’t just speculation—it’s backed by the paper trail.

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

NEW: the Trump admin has moved to terminate TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua, covering over 50,000 people

Both of these designations date back to 1999, meaning Trump wants to strip legal status from people here legally who have had a background check every 18 months for the last 26 years.

Happy birthday to a nation of immigrants! 🇺🇸

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

I’m sure Trump’s new plan of allowing employers in certain industries to decide whether their workers will get deported or not will lead to lovely working conditions and fair wages.

The 4 Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research labs (under the NOAA umbrella) that would close under the Trump administration's proposed 2026 budget.

This would effectively end Colorado's status as a global leader in climate research. An absolute travesty.

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

If I had said this last year, that Trump would try and deport US citizens in his first year, all Republicans and a nontrivial number of liberals and centrists would have attacked me for behind hyperbolic, and fear-mongering, and of having Trump Derangement Syndrome.

And yet:

Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioter Who Threatened Police Joins Justice Dept.

"A former F.B.I. agent who was charged with encouraging the mob... to kill police officers has been named as an adviser to the Justice Department task force that President Trump established to seek retribution against his political enemies." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/u...

Yes, we warned about all of it last year. Every last detail, every policy. Watched every rally speech, every interview, every campaign video. Posted thousands of clips about it all. Most completely or largely ignored by legacy media.

And yes, it is going to get much worse.

A self-aggrandizing, anti vaccine, raw milk drinking, AIDS denialist who believes he is smart, but is the personification of Dunning-Kruger, and who was called a predator by his cousin is in charge of HHS. It is going to get worse.

My heart is broken. This country is so sick.

How messed up do you have to be to say that stripping health coverage from up to 16 million people, removing food from kids, and raising taxes on some low-income people is “immaterial”?
