Is ICE building a Human Warehouse near you?

Democrats rally national firepower in final push for ‘yes’ vote on Virginia redistricting referendum Democrats framed next Tuesday's vote as a decisive stand against Republican gerrymanders pushed by President Donald Trump.

TOMORROW: Virginians will decide whether to approve a redistricting plan that could hand Democrats four more seats in Congress in 2026.

At stake in this months-long battle? Control of the U.S. House, the ability to check Trump and a broader fight against GOP map-drawing in battleground states.

Exclusive: ICE Glasses Homeland Security is making “smart glasses” to collect intelligence on Americans

Here's what a senior homeland official told me about their development of ICE smart glasses: "It might be portrayed as seeking to identify illegal aliens...but the reality is that a push in this direction affects all Americans, particularly protesters."

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.

Why Consumers are F*cked Trump's Never-ending War and Trump's Never-ending Tariffs are pushing up Never-ending price increases

Trump's Never-ending War and Trump's Never-ending Tariffs are pushing up Never-ending price increases. All of this is happening because of the unilateral decision making of one man. The question is, will he pay the price for it during the midterms?

As expected, Trump is fucking over working class Americans in favor of corporations. Trump is offering tariff refunds to companies, while working class Americans — who actually paid for the increase in the cost of goods due to Trump's tariffs — get zip, zilch, nada, NOTHING.

On just one night this week, Russia sent nearly 700 drones & dozens of missiles at Ukrainian civilians. In the 5th year of the war, aerial attacks on Ukrainian civilians have become even more intense & more frequent. Please join me in this campaign for air defense equipment. You can help save lives.

Thinking Live with Phillips O'Brien on War in Iran and Ukraine A recording from my conversation with Phillips O'Brien

What does the Iran war have to do with sustaining the Russian economy? Lifting sanctions for Russians does nothing for Americans. It just makes it easier for Russia to continue its war in Ukraine. I spoke with @phillipspobrien.bsky.social about Iran and Russia.

Lori, a small, tan pup with a scruff of white on her chest, is held closely by a person in a black vet scrub. we can tell from Lori's expression she is a bit scared and not sure what to expect.

an x-ray image of Lori's lower torso shows her left hind femur has popped out of her hip socket, the result of being hit by a car.

another angle of Lori, who is lying down inside an exam pillow while her head and hind legs are handled by two vets.

This is Lori. She was wandering the streets as a stray when she was hit by a car. It caused her left hind femur to come fully out of her hip socket. She’s in severe discomfort and needs surgery followed by physical therapy to walk pain-free again. You can help her below ❤️‍🩹

Trump Thinks He’s Become Orange Jesus In Trump 1.0, people mocked the President by calling him Orange Jesus. In Trump 2.0, he actually thinks he’s become Jesus, Susan B. Glasser writes.

An abomination.

"At 250 feet tall, the 'Arch' would be the biggest such structure in the world. Asked last fall by CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe what this modern-day arch was meant to commemorate, Trump pointed to himself and replied, “Me.”

🚨You spoke out and it worked. But the fight isn’t over. H.R. 1897 faces a vote next week.

This bill would weaken the ESA by blocking new species protections, fast-tracking delistings, shifting power to states, and loosening habitat safeguards, putting wolves and other species at risk.

"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV

A win! John Eastman (the right-wing attorney who helped orchestrate Donald Trump’s scheme to overturn the 2020 election) has officially been disbarred by the California Supreme Court.

As Trump’s war in Iran causes energy prices to spike, his administration is paying a French company $1 billion to NOT build offshore wind that cut Americans' electric bills. I’m urging Senate Appropriations to prevent his use of taxpayer money to block needed clean energy.
