An on-again, off-again ceasefire at the same time as a blockade, makes perfect sense if you see it for what it is:

MARKET MANIPULATION

Virginia Democrats Win Redistricting Referendum, Potentially Flipping Four House Seats By turning Trump's own redistricting gamble against him, Virginia just changed the math on Congress.

By turning Trump's own redistricting gamble against him, Virginia just changed the math on Congress.

Yeah, we're almost in W territory.

DOJ charges Southern Poverty Law Center over paid informants The civil rights group is being investigated over how it has sought to infiltrate extremist groups, its CEO says, adding that it “will not be intimidated.”

By going after the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Trump administration has dramatically escalated its attack on civil rights organizations and its defense of white supremacists.

These intimidation tactics won't succeed.

He's just mad he can't fire her.

MAGAs lie when they claim they just want "legal immigration." No—they want to ban all non-white immigration. Trump is planning to force Afghans who risked their lives to aid US forces against the Taliban to either live under the Taliban where they'll be executed, or go to the Congo. Beyond absurd.

This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.

One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.

Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

Cool, maybe her and all her little friends should leave.

Democrats did not want to do any mid-decade redistricting. It was Trump who started it in June 2025 with a phone call to Greg Abbott after more special election losses. Dems warned they’d respond. But Texas did it anyway - without the consent of the voters. Then Dems responded.

GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?

WARSH: That is, senator.

GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.

I asked X, Paramount, ABC, and Meta where their donations to Trump's Presidential Library went. None of them could give a clear answer.

Tens of MILLIONS of dollars are missing.

Why should Americans trust that this money isn’t going straight into Donald Trump’s pockets?

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

Vote total in today's Virginia redistricting referendum showing it passed.

Woohoo! Virginia approves redistricting.

Impeachment, not the 25th. He is unfit for office, but his problems now are because he has surrounded himself with enablers and thinks he has no restrictions or consequences.

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

Oof. 32% is brutal. He's in W territory.

If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?

The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Oh, I didn't think she was on the bubble. I just thought her calling a federal agency a biblical, fire breathing dragon sounded insane. I honestly thought she would leave to run for governor.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

You're forgetting Kelly Loeffler, Administrator of the Small Business Administration. She called the agency a "leviathan." These people are nuts.

He sounds like shit.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just boosted Democrats’ chances of taking the House.

He said the quiet part out loud, “fair elections” means he loses power.

That’s not a warning, that’s a confession.

Jeffries on Kash Patel: "We have to stop putting all the blame on the people who nominated this incompetent, toxic, malignant individual. What about the people who confirmed him? It's extraordinary to me that Senate Republican confirmed people like Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Patel."

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.

Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

The system is rigged.

This is a war based on lies
