Pritzker: "This is a person who thinks that his personal will should be imposed on the United States. That's not how it works."

President of Moldova Maia Sandu:

Russia doesn’t act alone.The Kremlin has allies in Moldova -people who have repeatedly proven in the past that for money they would sell even own country.They have no homeland.They’ve only masters. They don’t believe in Russia or in Europe.They believe only in money

The Supreme Court Has Always Been This Bad From allowing segregation to gutting abortion rights, the court’s reactionary streak runs deep. A new collection shows why calls for reform are as old as the court itself.

False Tips and Chicken Coops: The Chaotic Hunt for Charlie Kirk’s Killer

This article gives the impression that local authorities and the FBI have essentially no leads at all in the shooting of Charlie Kirk. I'm curious how much of this has to do with the post-purge state of the FBI and its previous focus on domestic extremist activity. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/u...

AOC: Whether it is a member of congress, whether it is the President to assume and assert and cast blame when the FBI has failed to even apprehend the assailant, is absolutely an irresponsible action.

Why did they cancel law enforcement press conferences and send Patel and Bongino to Utah? Did they catch someone and don’t like his motives?

I feel a bit nuts even thinking this, but I don’t trust Patel or Bongino. I feel like they’re not gonna be honest with us about the shooter.

Americans have short memories—keep reminding them. PLEASE SHARE!

Must be nice to not have oligarchs on your Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, our country's Supreme Court gave our former president immunity from prosecution for committing even more crimes.

So guess which country is more broken and shamelessly corrupt.
