In 2002, George W. Bush warned of an “Axis of Evil.” Today, it’s MTM — Moscow, Trump, Musk: a convergence of Russian authoritarianism, presidential ambition, and billionaire control over information that threatens democracy, undermines public trust, and weakens accountability.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

All these athletes getting paid to be the faces of gambling sites should be ashamed of themselves. This will be a terrible look in a year or two, as Americans, especially young people, waste what little money they have on these sites that make the rich richer and everyone poorer.

Donald Trump is again violating the First Amendment. Perhaps this can be noted during the White House Correspondents Association's next black tie dinner honoring Donald Trump. Support independent media that stands to the felon rather than eating with him.

This whole scene is even weirder when you consider that neither Ted Cruz nor John Cornyn nor Ken Paxton matriculated at UT... but James Talarico did

ESPN had Ted Cruz on 'College GameDay' in a conversation with Rece Davis for nearly 10 minutes. Cruz was heavily booed by the crowd -- and heard "Ted, you suck!" chants -- in Austin.

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

25 years after the horrific terror attacks of September 11th, 2001, we remember the New Yorkers we lost and honor the extraordinary heroism and selflessness that carried our city forward.

Did we expect anything different? A known convicted felon, con artist, huckster, and thief who never spent a second in prison; a SCOTUS that cleared a path for him to expand his power; and a GOP that is cowardly, consumed with self-preservation, and complicit in refusing to hold him accountable.

Trump has found so many ways to use the presidency to enrich himself and his family that we had to narrow the list down. Here are 75 of the most staggering examples of Trump corruption in 2026. And yes, there were more. Read Ron Filipkowski’s full breakdown:

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll didn't just resign; he gave his resignation directly to Trump: "Donald Trump can't feign ignorance about the fact that people in the Pentagon think Pete Hegseth is running the place into the ground."

Abdul El-Sayed: “Canadians are like the only people in the world who are going to preemptively apologize for something they didn't even do. So if you're starting a trade war with Canada, it's because you're the asshole.”

PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying Americans who oppose data centers are backwards and poor? AOC: I mean, how about we put one in Mar-a-Lago? I love that. Let’s put a data center at Mar-a-Lago, and we’ll see how backwards and poor he is in response to that.

Katie Phang on the Pentagon secretly hiring MAGA influencers: "I sincerely doubt they're working for free. So does that mean that my taxpayer money is going to fund a conservative influencer to push Kegsbreath and convicted felon Donald Trump's bullshit?"

Dolly Parton was they type of Christian that Christian Nationalists only *pretend* to be. Unlike Christian Nationalists, she didn't browbeat us with how CHRISTIAN she was. She just lived her life doing things that Jesus asked her to do, like heal the sick, help the children, and care for the poor.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
