This fking asshole can take his apology & shove it. He has the balls to say even though he knew he was lying to ppl it wasn't intentional. Bullshit! He knew exactly what he was doing & he knew it was wrong but he was making so much money he didn't care. He's a douchebag of the worst kind.

United States, nearly three women are killed by an intimate partner or family member every day. Over 55% of all female homicide victims in the U.S. are killed by current or former partners, with roughly 92% of female victims knowing their killers
Immigrants are not the problem families face. Dad is.

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!!!

TX judge dismisses Kash Patel's defamation case against Frank Filiuzzi, on which lawsuit Kash based much of yesterday's lawsuit against the Atlantic.

Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."

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?

So much was lost when kids were able to check books out of the library by ordering them up from their computer in the dorm instead of having to go into the stacks and encounter books they hadn’t planned on seeing

Hoo boy, that was a tough listen. Two women in a department store, browsing racks right next to me, discussing 'immigrants'. I had to walk away when one said '...and you know what? We'll never get them all out of here either'.

There's just no helping some people. 🙄 #Its2026

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.

Then what is the point of him being AG? Oh, right...protecting Trump. Never mind.

There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

They laughed at us because Americans were stupid enough to "vote" him back into office. Now they look at us with disgust and distrust.

For those of you who arrived at your polling station and are still waiting in live to vote for fair election maps in Virginia. Stay in line. The cutoff time is 7pm, but if you got there before that then you still get to vote.

Do not leave until you’ve had a chance to vote!

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.

Pa. court recognizes ‘reproductive autonomy’ as a right, strikes down ban on public funding for abortion In a 4-3 ruling, the Commonwealth Court found that abortion access is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Pennsylvania Constitution.

Pennsylvania's appellate court confirmed that access to abortion is a fundamental right under the Pennsylvania Constitution.

This decision is a win for all Pennsylvanians.

The government shouldn't be making your healthcare decisions - you should.

The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

Correct.

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

He’s a complete moron.

He still hasn’t “won” Iran.

Someone give Pawpaw his meds and put him back to sleep.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

We don't know which Cabinet secretary will be forced to resign next, but we know it'll be either Brooke Rollins or Linda McMahon because they're the last two women left.

Commonwealth Court rules the state constitution includes a fundamental right to abortion • Pennsylvania Capital-Star Susan Frietsche, of the Women’s Law Project, said the Medicaid coverage exclusion was the single largest barrier to abortion access in Pa.

This is a wonderful decision for Pennsylvania! And calling abortion a fundamental right is a satisfying slap in the face to the extremists on the Supreme Court.
