A federal judge just ruled the White House broke the law by pulling down a public site that tracked Congressional spending. Why’d they yank it? Because people were catching DOGE making fraudulent claims and inflating “savings” that didn’t exist. Transparency isn’t optional.

The DOJ has digital tools to search 100,000 Epstein files in seconds, so why did 1,000 federal employees work 24-hour shifts to flag Trump’s name? Because it’s not about finding the truth. It’s about controlling the narrative. If there’s nothing to hide, release the files.

Today, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it will shut down its Office of Research and Development and eliminate thousands of agency jobs. According to the agency, this office has long served as the scientific backbone of its efforts to protect both public health and the environment.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

God my absolute heart is with the people of Iran, who’ve fought so steadfastly for their own liberation, and are getting fucked half a dozen ways by a whole pantheon of geriatric war criminals while being told they should be grateful for it

Following the President’s action in Iran, California’s State Threat Assessment Center is actively monitoring for any potential impacts in California. While there are no specific or credible counter threats we’re aware of at this time, we urge everyone to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

A real “threatening breach” was January 6. Letting that veteran sit down would’ve been the respectful thing to do. He served this country letting him sit peacefully should be the bare minimum.

Important context: Padilla is the Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety, meaning oversight of immigration policy is literally his job.

⚠️ Warning: The Trump administration is circulating footage from 2020 to make the situation in L.A. appear more chaotic than it is. This is an intentional effort to manufacture a larger crisis. Stay alert. Pay attention. The propaganda machine is in overdrive.

The deployment of a full Marine battalion marks a major escalation in Trump’s use of military force against protesters. Like the Guard, the Marines are barred from engaging in law enforcement, such as making arrests, unless Trump formally invokes the Insurrection Act.

- Trump placed the National Guard under federal control (Title 10), bypassing state authority a rare and provocative move that violates the Tenth Amendment unless the Insurrection Act is formally invoked.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) isn’t just a measure of inflation, it directly impacts Social Security checks, mortgage, federal aid, business contracts, and worker pay. It’s foundational to understanding how the economy is working for everyday Americans. But now? It’s becoming far less accurate.

With the Supreme Court now handing DOGE access to Social Security data, it’s becoming undeniable, the Trump administration is building the “deep state” themselves. Don’t get distracted by the noise.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

Soon, we’ll break down the names of the systems Thiel has embedded in our government, and how they give him access to your Social Security number, medical records, IRS data, bank transactions, student loans, small business records, and more.

Right now, the risk to the general public is considered low, but experts warn that the virus could mutate and start spreading more easily between people. Canceling vaccine development at this stage could leave the U.S. unprepared if that happens. It’s a gamble with public health.

Another win!!! Now release him. A federal judge just ruled that the law used to detain Mr. Khalil is likely unconstitutional. Why? Because it’s too vague and was never meant to apply to someone like him a U.S. resident who never left the country.

Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” tried to embed a team inside the Government Publishing Office (GPO), the agency responsible for printing official documents and maintaining public access to federal records across all three branches of government.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law: - Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP - Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is 1,116 pages long so bloated with additions it’s barely about budget reconciliation anymore. The goal? Make it so long and dense that no one reads it. We broke down part of it this weekend and are working on more. Updates coming soon.

Prices are rising nationwide and Trump’s gaslighting everyone about why. His tariffs and failed policies are driving costs up. He’s spent $200 billion more in his first 100 days than the same period last year, delivering less to Americans at a greater cost.

For over half a century, the National Weather Service has operated 24/7. But after the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency pushed to shrink the federal workforce, that’s no longer possible in parts of the country.

Library of Congress staff just showed what resistance looks like. After Trump abruptly fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the respected Librarian of Congress, he tried to install Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current Deputy Attorney General, as acting librarian. Staff weren’t having it.

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.

South Memphis is choking while Elon Musk’s AI company cuts corners. xAI’s massive supercomputer burns so much energy that local utilities can’t keep up so they installed 35 methane gas turbines right in the heart of a neighborhood already suffering from toxic air.
