Trump has launched three more boat strikes this week, bringing the total death toll to 177.
Remember: No judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it.
This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.
3/3 And targeting the Inspector General who reviewed and advanced that lawful complaint sends an even darker message: not only will we punish you for reporting, we will punish the watchdog for doing his job.
Kill me.

Amid President Trump's public sparring with Pope Leo XIV, the government canceled an $11M federal contract with Catholic Charities used to aid unaccompanied minors around Miami.
We're demanding the truth about whether these children, caught in the middle, are being used as political pawns.
While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.
Yes, $30 million per HOUR.
All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.
it is easy to be an optimist when you ignore or hide facts

Screenshot of a tweet by Headquarters (@HQNewsNow) quoting White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claiming, "with a straight face," that gas prices have decreased over the past year since Trump took office. The embedded video shows Leavitt speaking at the White House briefing room podium, flanked by two officials, with a chyron reading "Text 'Truth' to 45470 for Updates from the White House."

Hungary lesson: Don’t debate Trump on policy. Name the corruption—and threat to democracy. Connect it to people’s lives. $3,800/household from tariffs. $2.5B gutted from the CDC. Billions in Trump family crypto profits while your grocery bill climbs and your kid’s school loses funding.

With everyone watching Iran, the Trump administration is still quietly carrying out extrajudicial killings at sea. Since September, at least 178 people have been killed in U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.

Orbán rode to power on resentment over the economic stagnation that developed under center-left governments. But he leaves office with Hungarians facing falling wages and higher inflation than similar countries are experiencing. Orbán’s sectarianism and intolerance have sparked neither a religious revival nor a fertility bump; Hungary’s population is shrinking and has become more irreligious, even as Orbán has demonized LGBTQ people, “Muslim invaders,” and Jews. Orbánism, in short, did not make Hungarians more rich, Christian, or free—unless you happened to be one of Orbán’s buddies, in which case you may have gotten rich. As most Hungarians felt their economic circumstances worsen, Orbán provided them with relatively powerless targets to hate.
Orban made grand appeals to “Christianity” and “Western Civilization,” but his “illiberal democracy” was just a scam, a way to make him and his buddies rich while subjecting Hungarians to stagnation and robbing them of their freedom. Sound familiar? (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
I think the FDIC would do well to remove "... backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government" from its signage
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
New evidence obtained through our oversight team shows just how mismanaged and careless DOGE’s cuts to critical federal services and funding were.
The American people deserve better. So we won't stop holding DOGE accountable.
Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.
This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.
Never doubt your power to change the system.
