Kars4Kids ads make it sound like your car donations helped children in need.
A California judge just BANNED the ads across the state because that’s a lie.
Donations actually fund Orthodox Jewish indoctrination programs and matchmaking services.

This settlement violates the separation of powers under Article I and it is being contemplated in order to avoid an order from an Article III that a President cannot instruct a federal agency to give him money. I am not sure this could be more wildly unconstitutional.
Congress could presumably use its power of the purse to ban any expenditure of taxpayer funds by this commission. Seems like Dems should insist on votes on this?
Column: Trump is the ultimate bridezilla, who doesn’t care how the celebration impacts guests.
He is obsessed with his image and pageantry while seeming to ignore the financial struggles of a growing swath of Americans.
Texas limits eligibility for Medicaid to families living below 15 percent of the poverty level, meaning that a family of three earning more than—get this—$4,098 annually is not eligible for any benefits. trib.al/cRXRT29
"“It’s possible that we’re starting to see the consequences of severe and sudden cuts to global health programs that have eroded surveillance and allowed deadly viruses to spread undetected...”

Fifth-generation farmer Jamie Ager is among a small group of Democrats with farming backgrounds running for Congress this year, arguing President Trump’s tariffs and the Iran war have hit rural communities hard with higher prices and market instability.
democrats appear to be broadly underestimating the base's anger right now. that's not really a problem for the midterms, purely in terms of electoral strategy (see @gelliottmorris.com's analysis), but i have a feeling it will be disruptive down the road in unforeseen ways
Whoops, the courts were slow and Merrick Garland ran out of time...
Whoops, can't do anything about Virginia because the midterms so close anyways...
Whoops, Jared Polis is on his last 6 months of his final term...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
LANDMAN is ripe for this because it routinely has Billy Bob Thornton go off on wholly-untrue pro-oil rants.
His most famous one is about wind turbines not offsetting any carbon over their 20-year life cycle. In reality, they're fully offset within an average of 5.3 months.
I think it's time the left start getting angrily political about routine stuff in TV shows and movies.
"It's an *outrage* that Dutton Ranch doesn't have solar panels!"
"They cast a man to play Jack Reacher?!?! What?!"
"None of the Fast and Furious cars are EVs? NONE? I thought this was America!"
"Especially over the last 15 years, the Court's corrupt majority has more & more openly adopted the stance that you have a powerful presidency for Republicans & a weak one for Dems. They won’t allow Dems to enjoy the fruits of political power when they win it, & that’s just an untenable situation."
"CBS is assenting to its own diminishment."
"The biggest loss is to core America values, including the right to speak freely, even in brutally mocking terms, about those in power..."

Kate Bush's first appearance on "Top of the Pops" was on 16th Feb 1978, where she performed "Wuthering Heights". She would later appear on the show several more times in 1978 and 1979. She was the first woman to have a self-penned song make No 1 in the UK chart; she was just 19 years old. #KateBush
It’s weird that Helen of Troy being played by a black actress is a problem, but most of the rest of the Mediterranean, Greek and Turkish characters being played by incredibly fair and blond haired people of British, Irish and Scandinavian descent isn’t.
And by weird, I mean entirely predictable.
"In a system where the lines are drawn to lock one party out of representation, the regions themselves will come to fight over scarce resources." "Civil war" -hopefully, cold - is just the name for that phenomenon.
DHS initially claimed that when the officers exited their vehicle, Martinez tried to run them over, “forcing the officers to fire defensively.”
New bodycam footage shows otherwise. trib.al/e13WQTZ
Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.
"They soon realized the unsettling truth: Not just women but entire families were detained inside, including children and even newborn babies. This former employee struggled daily with what they saw."
After killing Alex Pretti, the Trump regime’s propaganda is collapsing. They’re watching as the American people turn against them. People across the aisle know they’re being gaslit and are fed up. Now, Leavitt is backing off some as they try to course correct. But the damage is done—they’re exposed.
"This isn’t about immigration enforcement. This is straight-out fascism. ... They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are beating up and killing citizens to create disruption, so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office."
I think the way to get rid of Miller is for Trump to find out that everyone thinks that Miller is the real president. No way Trump can handle that ego blow.
And it’s pretty clear that someone, or more than one, inside the White House is no longer working with him
You’ll notice the American state media gave President Biden a much harder time over his age whilst he was doing good work than they are with the orange felon who basically assembled an illegal army to murder people whilst he destroys the entire country out of spite.
“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway
Bondi is trying to get Minnesota to hand over redacted voter rolls. Meanwhile, the DOJ has yet to release the full Epstein files as required by law over a month ago. Their priorities are clear: protect the criminals, attack the innocent.
Trump’s approval ratings are dismal, his policies have made life less affordable, Americans see what ICE is doing and they don’t like it.
The only appropriate response to this political climate is, “we’ve got them on the ropes, let’s go on the offense." trib.al/LJqV4vv
So, these armed felons from January 6, 2021 are “just tourists!”
But an ICU nurse defending a woman who ICE pepper-sprayed and pushed to the ground was a “domestic terrorist “!
"The regime’s mind-blowing lies are ultimately a way to demean and mark those who resist. They function as fascist solidarity, signaling that partisans can and should do anything and everything to political enemies, no matter how violent, cruel, or unnecessary."
Even as the Trump administration murders Minnesotans in the streets they can't help but attack our state on other fronts. This press release is from today!
