You can tell which ones are American media and which one is foreign media. Our mainstream media is a joke; scared and subservient to the elites.

It’s obvious that the revoking of the legal status of 530,000 Immigrants is all about racism and not whether they came here the right way.

I believe it. When Trump hates something or someone, he posts about it forever. He's still raging about 2020. He's still fighting Obama. Yet not a word about Butler. Like it never happened. This has Trump's tiny orange fingerprints all over it.

Funny how leftists now all of a sudden understand the concept of not attacking the nominee relentlessly the entire election. We could’ve used some of that in 2016 and 2024.
Girl, if you want him to win, you should stop relentlessly attacking him and move on to talking about any other race. Instead, you clearly want him to lose, but don't want to be accused of preferring a GOP senate majority because Israel.

Seems like a bait and switch. After predictable outcry, Trump DOJ pulls back slush fund for insurrectionists, but retains tax immunity for Trump. Was that the plan all along? It’s all corrupt. nytimes.com/2026/06/05/us/po…

America is drowning in hate, conflict, and vulgar mean-spiritedness because of one man. Trump built his entire political career on divisiveness, cheap name-calling, and pure dishonesty. A nation's culture reflects its leader, and he has dragged the presidency into the gutter! 🤮

1/ I’ve always thought that knowing history will follow “The Roberts Court,” the Chief Justice would have at least some measure of concern for the reputation attached to his tenure. I no longer believe that.

Pete Hegseth has never been fit to run the Pentagon. This week proves it again. He just blocked nine Navy officers from promotions they earned. A board of senior admirals picked them on merit. Three are women. Two are Black men. The result is a 22-person admiral list with zero women, in a Navy that’s 21% women and 38% sailors of color. Pentagon rules are clear. A Secretary can only pull an officer for serious failings of character, conduct, or competence. These officers had none. Their crime? Attending a diversity event years ago. One was flagged for recruitment outreach she did TWENTY YEARS AGO. Nearly 60% of the senior officers Hegseth has fired are women or Black. He purged a chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He pushed out the first woman ever to lead the Navy. And he won’t explain himself. Not to Democrats. Not even to Republicans. Then he reportedly tried to muscle his own aide onto the list. A guy who didn’t even qualify. So let’s be honest about what this is. He isn’t raising the bar. He’s rigging it. He isn’t picking the best. He’s picking his own. Every officer who serves with honor now has to wonder if merit even matters anymore. This man should never have been confirmed. He should not be Secretary of anything. He is gutting the finest military on earth to fight a culture war. Our service members will pay for it. So will our security. He should resign in disgrace. nytimes.com/2026/06/01/us/po…

Trump just appointed the head of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as acting DNI — the nation’s top intelligence official. No intelligence background. No Senate confirmation required. But plenty of evidence he’ll use the position to target Trump’s enemies. Definitely worth reading. joycevance.substack.com/p/if…

For the first time in modern history, the United States is no longer classified as a liberal democracy, and data shows changes under President Donald Trump’s second term are accelerating a pattern seen in democracies that later failed. theintellectualistofficial.s…

Stop saying "mistakenly". He was maliciously deported to an El Salvadorian torture prison to serve as a talking point for the Trump administration's immigration policy dreams. Get it right.

Until last year, the USAID was part of a time-tested system for dealing with Ebola. In its absence, a dozen former federal employees tell NBC News that the U.S. response to the growing outbreak has been slow and disjointed. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…
