Screenshot of Bulwark post noting that the Blaze author of a story falsely accusing a federal official of planting bombs at the DNC and RNC on Jan. 5, 2021 was Jan. 6th defendant himself.

So The Blaze author of this ridiculous story falsely accusing someone of being the DNC/RNC bomber was also a Jan. 6th rioter himself? And no editor at The Blaze thought this might be a red flag when it came to making such a huge + speculative accusation lol?!

The Onion thinks this is satire, but it's not.

In a survey published in July 2025, the Canadian firm Leger revealed that 47% of Republicans would still support Donald Trump even if he "was officially implicated in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking activities" (see: leger360.com/trump-epstei...)

If only America had someone who knew how to negotiate properly.

Monterey Park becomes the first city in California to ban "all data centers within city limits" Residents of the small enclave east of LA not only killed their city's proposed 250,000 square foot data center, they pushed city council to ban them altogether

The "public comments at the hearing before the vote left little doubt that Monterey Park residents overwhelmingly disdained not only the prospect of a massive, noisy, and polluting infrastructure project being erected in their backyards, but who that project would benefit, at their expense.”

Elon Musk for prison 2026

In 2022, SpaceX was charged with illegally firing workers who spoke out against Elon Musk.

Then, Elon Musk helped elect Donald Trump, and Trump's labor board dropped the charges.

Was this a political favor? I'm pressing for answers.

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Characterizing something as “fascism” is now grounds for suspension on X??? So much for their supposed love of “free speech”.

btw when DC pundits and pols complain about "purity politics" what they mean is "stop complaining about my concentration-camp-lobbyist contributions"

Good one.

Rural Nebraska Dialysis Unit Closes Despite the State’s $219M in Rural Health Funding - KFF Health News A rural Nebraska dialysis unit that was hemorrhaging money closed, upending patients’ lives. That’s despite a federal rural health program that granted the state more than $200 million this year to im...

Feel like somewhere in this article it should explicitly be said:

“The rural voters are experiencing the consequences of the policies of who they voted into power”

It’s terrible. And it’s self-inflicted.

Screenshot of a tweet by Headquarters (@HQNewsNow) reporting that the Trump administration ended an $11 million Catholic Charities contract providing care and shelter for unaccompanied migrant children, noting the cancellation came after Pope Leo criticized Trump's war in Iran. The post includes a split image of Trump seated beneath an American flag in dramatic lighting, and Pope Leo XIV in white papal vestments.

That light fixture placement behind him is so apt.
