Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on charges that it fraudulently paid informants in extremist groups The head of the civil rights organization said the group was "outraged by the false allegations" leveled against it.

Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is.

The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.

III. ANALYSIS The Court finds that Dir. Patel has failed to allege a viable defamation claim against Figliuzzi. As such, the Court must dismiss Dir. Patel’s lawsuit. While Figliuzzi requests attorney’s fees and court costs under state anti-SLAPP statutes, the Court is unable to grant him such, and this request must be denied.

Oh no!!!

🚨🚨BREAKING: In a huge victory for Democrats that will greatly increase their odds of winning back the House in November, Virginia voters have APPROVED the redistricting referendum.

Trump is considering a large bailout for a multibillionaire dictator while he cuts health care for 15 million Americans.

This is insane. The working families of the United States need help, not one of the richest families in the world.

This is why when Pam Bondi made the decision to not show up, she should have immediately been put in contempt. Instead, Democrats continued to threaten contempt. When are we going to learn that these types of processes do not work with this regime! #Epstein

My painting SUNFLOWERS

this man is pure evil.

I believe the U.S. vaccinated children when they came across the border, at least before Trump. Vaccines are cheap insurance.

Rob Schneider did a comedy standup at CPAC and one of his jokes was: "Somalia is not sending their best; they're not sending their doctors or engineers, if they have any... hehehe".

And he still believes Hollywood "blacklisted" him. Maybe they just don't like shitty racist jokes, Robbie.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order banning state employees from using insider info to bet on prediction market apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, warning the unregulated boom “opens the door to insider trading and abuse.”

When the Oval Office becomes a stock tip line, it’s corruption in plain sight. We must continue to sound the alarm. Head to the Substack page for everything you need to know: www.adamkinzinger.com/p/this-isnt-...

Not a penny to make life more affordable for American families, but $70 BILLION for ICE to terrorize our communities.

We have to stay focused on what is in front of us.

We must win the midterms. But we must also have a vision for when we are in power to address childcare, housing, and health care and make life more affordable.

BREAKING: TACO TUESDAY: Donald trump delays ethnic cleansing and war crimes again by extending the ceasefire indefinitely.

I’ll never get over the fact that US Health is being run by a deranged asshole drug addict who has admitted to snorting cocaine off of a toilet seat and who has a disgusting fascination with cutting off penises from dead animals.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

Tell me this was a real assassination attempt again

Every time I see Congressman Mike Lawler, as I am watching him now on MSNOW with Katy Tur, the only impression he leaves me with is what a nasty and condescending asshole.

Hope the voters of his district do better and vote him out.

I have to admit I was already aged out of watching SpongeBob SquarePants when this episode originally aired.

But my younger colleagues told me to watch this clip.

1996 POLITICIANS: “Sure, I tried marijuana one time, but I did not inhale. Please, vote for me.”

2026 POLITICIANS: “Sure, I raped and murdered babies, but I did not drink their blood. Please, vote for me.”
