When people in Washington lower their voices and say, “Please don’t use my name. I’m afraid he’ll come after my family’s livelihood,” it means something has broken. People no longer trust the law to protect them.

As far as I can tell, Tulsi’s big “secret biolab” bombshell is recycled Kremlin propaganda. These labs were never secret. The U.S. spent decades funding biosafety and disease-surveillance work abroad under Nunn-Lugar, with the facility lists posted publicly by the State Department and our own embassy in Kyiv. Russia invented the “secret bioweapons” spin in 2022 to help justify invading Ukraine. Our own intelligence flagged it as disinformation. Now Tulsi is laundering that exact line, while conveniently forgetting the first Trump administration funded this same research. Nothing was hidden and the only thing being manufactured here is the coverup. Tulsi, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire while our pay has stagnated. He owns 11 homes while most Texans can’t afford one. He trades favors with rich donors while blocking overtime pay for workers. Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.

After a Marine died by suicide, members of the unit raised concerns about leadership. Leaked audio obtained by The War Horse shows the response: a two-hour meeting in which the first sergeant and the commanding officer berated Marines for speaking up.⁠ thewarhorse.org/secret-recor…

There is no world in which this is okay.     Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney.    His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated.    If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself.    This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it.    The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next.    The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW.    Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.   notus.org/us-news/samuel-phi…

NEW AD: Meet Ken Paxton — the most corrupt politician in America. He’s gotten away with it for years. That ends this November.

I received word that some liberal nonprofits and political consultants are trying to work with establishment Democrats on a political strategy to expand surveillance, militarized policing, immigration detention, and overall imprisonment with re-branded language. Lots of words like "community" thrown in there. This would be a catastrophic moral failure, but also an unbelievable strategic error given how unpopular repression is.  Those of us who want to see a more equal, more just, more safe society must do everything in our power to call thee people out and stop them, and we will.

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

This claim is a LIE. Congress created adjustment of status in 1960. It's not a loophole. In fact, @USCIS's OWN WEBSITE says that getting a green card from inside the United States was expressly intended by Congress! Just wait; give it 24 hours and they'll erase that history.

Ustedes me secuestraron en altamar. En la cárcel me separaron del grupo, me metieron a un contenedor, me esposaron, botaron al piso y me golpearon por más de tres horas hasta causarme una conmoción cerebral. Esos son sus valores, estas fotos sólo son propaganda

From a friend: On January 6, 2021, I awakened to my TV and saw Trump telling a rowdy group of morons to “fight like hell or you won’t have a country any more”! I watched that group of morons walk to the Capitol, knock over barricades, attack police officers, then scale the walls and breach the Capitol windows and doors. They engaged more police, attacking them with flagpoles. And I sat there in my living room, an old man who served this country for thirty years in the Army and another twenty in the Postal Service, with my hand over my mouth in pure disgust. I was born and raised in Ohio, raised on the flag, the Constitution, and the belief that America was worth defending. I voted for plenty of Republicans in my time, but what I saw that day wasn’t patriotism. It was a disgrace. A mob. A betrayal of everything I had sworn to protect. I couldn’t believe my eyes. These weren’t “protesters.” They were traitors in red hats, smashing their way into the Capitol while Congress was certifying the election. I watched them beat police officers with American flagpoles, for God’s sake. I saw them desecrate statues, break windows, and storm the chambers like it was some third-world coup. One woman even got herself shot trying to climb through a barricaded door. Her fault My wife,said “What in the Lord’s name is happening to our country?” I felt the same rage and shame she felt. I called my son, a Marine stationed overseas, and told him to turn on the news. “This is what we fought for?” That evening, as the building was finally cleared and Congress went back to work, I made myself a promise. Every single one of those participants—every last one who walked through those broken doors, who pushed past the barricades, who cheered it on or filmed it for their little videos—should lose their citizenship and rot in federal prison for twenty years. No excuses. No “mostly peaceful.” No “they were let in.” They knew what they were doing. They tried to stop the lawful transfer of power by force and intimidation. That’s insurrection. That’s sedition. In my day, we called that treason. 4 years later, the disgust only deepened. When Trump pardoned them all—every rioter, every thug who beat police officers—I felt sick to my stomach. And now, just yesterday, they announced this outrage: a so-called “Patriot Compensation Fund” of 1.776 billion dollars—yes, deliberately styled after 1776, as if these criminals deserve any connection to the real American Revolution. My blood boils just thinking about it. Taxpayer money—handed out like prizes to people who tried to burn down the Capitol. It’s an insult to every law-abiding American, every veteran, and every cop who stood on that line that day. Trump and his cohorts are continuing to try to trample the Constitution even now—twisting laws, attacking the courts, undermining the very foundations our Founders built to prevent exactly this kind of mob rule and strongman payback. They’ve learned nothing. They respect nothing except power. January 6 wasn’t a “protest that got out of hand.” It was the day a cancer showed itself in the body politic—a selfish, ignorant, conspiracy-addled mob that put their feelings above the Republic. Trump lit the match with his words, and thousands of fools marched right into the flames. Now he rewards them for it. They don’t deserve to call themselves Americans anymore. Strip them of the vote, strip them of the passport, and lock them away so the rest of us can sleep at night knowing the rule of law still means something. My love for this country burns hotter than ever. Every January 6th, when the cable channels replay those ugly scenes, I sit right here in my recliner, salute the officers who stood their ground, and say a prayer of thanks that the Republic held—barely—despite the people who try to tear her down and the leaders who celebrate them. God bless the United States of America. God have mercy on those who tried to destroy her. They’ll get none from me x.com/elia_mafhh/status/2057…

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it. Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago. IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued. The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk. The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit. Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”  Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million. The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out. This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president. Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues? nytimes.com/2026/05/19/admin…

I’ve been watching this San Diego mosque shooting story all day and noticed something real quick: suddenly the media and the outrage addicts on X got real quiet about the shooters. Funny how that works. If this was a trans shooter, they’d have 500 viral posts, podcasts, TikToks, and blue check accounts screaming about it for the next 6 months. But when reports start mentioning ‘SS’ stickers, Nazi symbolism, racial superiority garbage, and Muslims being targeted? Everyone suddenly wants to ‘wait for facts.’ Cut the bullshit. Two young kids allegedly so brain-rotted by racist propaganda and online hate culture that they opened fire outside a mosque. That doesn’t happen in a vacuum. That comes from being force-fed nonstop poison online by rage merchants making money off division, paranoia, and dehumanization. The ‘Muslims are invading,’ ‘replacement,’ ‘enemy within,’ race-war garbage has consequences. Real consequences. Dead bodies. Destroyed families. Kids turning into extremists before they’re even old enough to drink. And the sickest part is some of these influencers know exactly what they’re doing. Fear sells. Hate gets engagement. Rage pays the bills. An entire generation of American kids is being psychologically cooked by algorithms and culture-war addicts 24/7. This is radicalization.

The Congressional Research Service just listed the 42 US aircraft lost or damaged so far during the war with Iran. 4 x F-15E Strike Eagles destroyed 1 x F-35A damaged by Iranian ground fire 1 x A-10 destroyed 7 x KC-135 Stratotankers (2 destroyed, 5 damaged) 1 x E-3 Sentry AWACS damaged 2 x MC-130J destroyed 1 x HH-60W helicopter damaged by small arms fire 24 x MQ-9 Reapers destroyed 1 x MQ-4C Triton destroyed

Karla Toledo has been in the United States since she was ONE YEAR OLD. She has no criminal record. She didn't violate any of the rules of the DACA program. Her lawful status is still valid. Yet for some reason, ICE broke into her house without a warrant(!) and threw her in jail.

Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O'leary says 2 people fighting data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out its just 2 local girls in Utah, they make a hilarious video calling him the fuck out

I’ve been thinking this all day long. A Syrian man and his 12 year old daughter were riding on a motorcycle in southern Lebanon when an Israeli drone strike took the dad out. His daughter made it 100 yards & another drone came for her. They’re hunting 12 year olds w drones.
