On Sunday, the White House blocked @politico.com from traveling with President Trump aboard Air Force One, amid a lawsuit over presidential access for the outlet and other news organizations. Politico was scheduled to serve as the primary print outlet in the presidential travel pool.

Another disaster from our incompetent Builder-in-Chief.

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

Appalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.

We do agree. With this administration, invoking your Fifth Amendment rights is often the smartest course of action. They have shown a willingness to aggressively pursue and target people, so protecting your constitutional rights is more important than ever.

lots of reporters suddenly worried about slipping into communism but strangely f*cking quiet about slipping into fascism

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 7,400 cases across 9 states. The FDA just recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,300 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

At least 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to the White House. At least 23 people have been shot at by federal immigration agents. And thousands more have been caged, separated from their families, or shipped off to dangerous countries. The cruelty is endless.

Booker: Do you all know that they were constantly chipping away? I was told we would have 13 minutes for questioning. Then they brought it down to 10. Ten minutes of questioning for the confirmation of the highest law enforcement official in the land has never been done before.

Sen. Alsobrooks tells Vought "I have been waiting for the opportunity to come face to face with you" and repeatedly calls his actions "depraved" and "evil"

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

Just 10 billionaires have already poured over $600 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

Many pregnant Texas residents now fear losing their lives during pregnancy, after four young women died in the state when they were unable to access medically necessary abortions.

It is not antisemitism to opose genocide, just ask these jewish voices for peace. theintercept.com/2026/06/29/a...

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.

Remember: You're far more likely to be killed by a member of the ICE Gestapo than by an immigrant trying to get to work.

""People detained at Camp East Montana reported routine ⁠beatings and other excessive force by guards, chronic malnutrition, and unsanitary and degrading living conditions," the report said... "Together, these abuses violate fundamental protections under U.S. and international human rights law.""

Detainees held at Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas report spoiled food, missed meals, denial of medical care, routine beatings, and near constant abuse. When historians reflect on this regime, cruelty will be the word most often used to define it.

Ostrich has up to 24 chicks. When they hatch they walk within 30 mins, and forge on their own. They will stay with their parents for protection for 6-9 months, but will remain in the flock for a year after 3-4 years a male will develop the iconic black and white feather and find its own territory.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Schiff: The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct. How is it possible that after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?

E. Jean Carroll, the writer who won a pair of civil lawsuits alleging sexual abuse and defamation by Trump, received the more than $5.6 million in damages he owed her, according to a court filing. The payment marks a significant victory that Trump has fought hard to prevent since his first term.

@realdonaldtrump YOUR ICE force has killed a person in Maine. After the killings of Good, Pretti, and Araujo, without accountability, we cannot trust YOUR Homeland Security or Justice dept. to investigate ICE. “We The People” demand accountability and Congressional oversight.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to obtain West Virginia full voter registration file. Another victory for Elias Law Group and our clients. This marks DOJ's 13th defeat with zero victories. www.democracydocket.com/cases/west-v...
