‘He Is Out of Control’: MAGA Demands Answers After Trump Ambassador Mike Huckabee Covertly Meets With Spy Who Sold American Secrets Prominent supporters of Trump demanded answers after it was revealed that U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee held a secret meeting with Jonathan Pollard.

Jonathan Pollard is a traitor who worked in US military intelligence and SOLD our nation's military secrets to Israel. He spent 30 years in U.S. jail but was then welcomed by Netanyahu in Israel as a hero. Now Trump admin's Mike Huckabee meets with this traitor! www.mediaite.com/politics/he-...

Hard to imagine putting someone who isn't a litigator at all, let alone a criminal lawyer, in charge of Trump's most important (and blatantly political) prosecutions turned out not to have been a smart move.

He's such a little bitch.

These fucking ghouls

Ooh, this is a good one -->

Reup: I happened to do a video this morning laying out the Fourth Amendment problems that might blow up this week, as they just did.

The Trump admin is an organized crime operation that has control of the US government.

NEW: DHS launched a $200mln+ ad campaign, featuring, Kristi Noem, aimed at stemming illegal immigration.

We found the firm secretly hired for the work has ties to Noem.

She Begged for Help. This State’s Probation Gap May Have Put Her in Danger. Tennessee probation officers pause in-person visits and home searches for offenders facing an arrest warrant. That reduced supervision can last for months. Temptress Peebles was one of six mothers who...

Six young Black moms were allegedly killed by suspects who were on probation but not being monitored in person by probation officers because of a warrant out for their arrest.

Their deaths left 12 children without mothers.

“But her emails” was just another confession disguised as an accusation, it’s so incredibly obvious now.

FBI chief Patel says 'no credible information' others involved in Epstein crimes By Andrew Goudsward September 16, 2025 2:03 PM EDT • Updated September 16, 2025 Kash Patel FBI Director

any updates on this btw?

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

Imagine having a kid in this daycare who watches as their teacher is bodily dragged away by masked goons.

Schumer sold out queer people to get a CR, then he sold out DC to get a CR, now he’s offering to sell out 24 million ACA recipients for a CR, and doing so to help shield Republicans from dealing with it over the midterms.

He’s like an ant-Pelosi, his instincts go the wrong direction every time.

if an elected Democrat can’t make hay of “the president is taking swift legal action to make sure you starve to death” then they don’t really deserve to be elected democrats anymore huh

How long before I can file suit against my local congressman for taxation without representation?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Maybe the most important chart of the week: AI hyperscaler bond spreads.

B of A calls it the “watch out” metric.

This is what oligarchy looks like:

If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.

If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.

Obscene.

The corruption is absurd.

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

The trump regime is not a functioning government, it's an organized crime syndicate and should be treated as such.

This absolutely includes the SCOTUS BigotWizards, with their proven ongoing corruption, who would strip away our basic human rights.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.

Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

The shuttering of USAID is one of the most morally reprehensible acts of the Trump administration

It's impossible to overstate how much of what ICE is doing on the ground reflects this completely preposterous conflation of hostile *speech* and hostile *conduct.*

The First Amendment protects—or, at least, is supposed to protect—the former up and until it's a "true threat," which none of this is.

INTERESTING TIMES WITH ROSS DOUTHAT Mamdani's Victory Is Less Significant Than You Think

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

What Really Happened in Portland Before Trump Deployed the National Guard In the two months before Trump’s decision, criminal charges were announced against only three people. On nights when physical conflict did erupt, it often came from police firing on, shoving, pepper-spraying and tackling protesters.

NEW: We reviewed federal prosecutions, local arrests, internal protest summaries by the Portland Police Bureau and more than 700 video clips posted to social media before Trump said he wanted to send the National Guard to the city.

Here’s what we found.
