Republican megadonors are bankrolling Mike Duggan’s independent Michigan gubernatorial race Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan has been receiving and accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from Republican donors and dark money in his independent gubernatorial bid, despite him saying he wants to…

When you follow the money, it’s clear that Mike Duggan is wrong for Michigan.

Fascinating when the NYTimes decides to be a newspaper versus when they don't.

Our campaign was anchored in the voices of struggling New Yorkers. Yesterday, we brought those voices straight to the Oval Office. We made clear that housing, safety, and lower costs are what New Yorkers need and what our administration will deliver.

CDC backpedals on vaccines and autism, despite earlier assurances from RFK Jr. The CDC, under the direction of an unqualified health secretary, is now promoting claims that flunk Logic 101.

In related news, the claim ‘the Tooth Fairy does not actually take lost baby teeth from under pillows’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that magical beings are secretly thieving teeth in the dead of night…”

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses, as hate symbols.

Pelosi: "Trump is the worst president of the United States that American children have ever had in terms of their health, education, a clean, safe environment in which they can thrive - including safety from gun violence - the economic security of their families and a future that is fair and just."

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Maybe this is extremist and deserving of the death penalty, but I also think that the military should refuse illegal orders. #Politics #Trump

Tonight, the House of Commons has voted to pass Budget 2025.

It’s time to work together to deliver on this plan — to protect our communities, empower Canadians with new opportunities, and build Canada strong.

“Pam, I told the republicans to vote to release the Epstein files. You know what to do.”

Both are very possible, but most likely it’s the second.

To be clear: Trump is only calling for the GOP to release the Epstein files because he was told he’s about to lose 150+ republicans on this vote.
