HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani.
Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.
The fact that Trump had appointed a totally unqualified donor to be Secretary of the Navy leading into what turned into the biggest crisis for the US Navy since World War 2 could be covered like the media covered Michael "Brownie" Brown during Hurricane Katrina.
They choose not to do this!
“Expanding the Supreme Court is no different that redistricting in California and Virginia. It is a proportionate response to Republican attempts to degrade liberal democracy and move America toward a post-liberal order.”

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was killed today in a targeted Israeli strike. The IDF fired live rounds and stun grenades at the Red Cross ambulances trying to reach her. She is the 4th journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March.

A top envoy to Donald Trump suggested the swap to Fifa president Gianni Infantino and the US president, as leader of the country co-hosting the tournament, arguing that Italy’s four World Cup titles in the tournament's history justify awarding it the slot. ft.trib.al/ygbCcs3
Trump is rehearsing the same delegitimization script that led to January 6, but he’s not targeting this race specifically. The target is public trust in elections.
Screenshot of an Aaron Rupar tweet showing a CNBC Squawk Box exchange where host Kernen says inflation was around 3% when Biden left office, and Trump falsely claims it was 5% and that he personally drove it down after winning the election. A community note below corrects the record, citing actual inflation figures of 2.7–3.0% when Biden left office, with rates rising slightly after November 2024.
Trump lies so breezily. He probably even believes his own garbage.
This is what happens when a society refuses to hold a class of people unaccountable.
It breeds widespread cynicism and is corrosive to the public discourse.
It empowers thugs and cheats and the stupid to further push criminal behavior and creates a more chaotic society.
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
And Cassidy should follow RFK Jr out the door
🤡🤡🤡 to the left of me
🃏🃏🃏to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
FOUR GOP DOCTORS IN THE SENATE voted to confirm this clown:
Barrasso
Paul
Cassidy
Marshall
Honestly, all should be censured by their appropriate medical boards
But Cassidy‘s vote is particularly unforgivable given that he made his bones setting up a childhood vaccination clinic as a young doctor
A number of space science organizations offered support for Isaacman's nomination because he is a proponent of space exploration and claimed he would support science. But now that science is on the chopping block -- and human spaceflight isn't -- he is volunteering to give NASA the DOGE treatment.
I was about to ask if anyone had actually checked the flowmeters, but you went one step better and publish the visual evidence.
I can’t even imagine what that’s going to mean for the rest of the summer.
How much water is going to be displaced from the underground aquifer to make up for this?
I'm having a hard time believing my eyes with water data this year.
The Colorado River mainstem through Grand Junction was flowing at 54 cfs last night. Not a typo. 54 cfs.
Last year on this date it was flowing at 1,420cfs. Even in 2002, the driest year on record, it was at 690cfs on April 22.
Holy shit. The FBI raided this woman's house with a helicopter based on the word of a "gait analysis" quack they found on X.
Q: Can you explain the computer log in issue? Your lawsuit contends you were not able to log in
PATEL: Survey -- how many of you people believe that's true?
Q: Did you communicate that you thought you were fired?
PATEL: It never happened. You are lying.
Q: The lawsuit says the opposite!
RFK Jr: This is not a problem that was created by the Trump administration or the big beautiful bill
KAINE: Not in Virginia. All three of the hospitals cited the reconciliation bill for the closures
RFK Jr: "Why would I ever reject a drug that worked? What kind of perverse motive are you ascribing to me?"
News accounts are straining to portray the Virginia move as a betrayal of Dems' principled opposition to gerrymandering.
It's pure bullshit. Dems passed a 2021 bill ending it for *both sides.* The Dem position is that Trump/Rs don't get to play by their own rules:

The people in America didn’t ask for faster horses, and we certainly have not asked for expensive poisonous dangerous monster trucks to take over, but that’s what we allowed to happen.
Entrenched financial interests will never advance our society. We must immediately make it happen ourselves.
That’s stunning. Do they provide any reason? Is there an appeal process?
I understand that with an aging population and the possibility of abuse that the agencies may be overwhelmed, but walking her in to a in-person appeal appointment with the signed form should be enough.
Her doctors won’t sign the forms or the state won’t accept them?
I am obsessed with this @dukechronicle.bsky.social feature on Triangle Web Printing. When I was in college, we printed daily. As sports editor, there were many nights when I "put the paper to bed." Meaning I literally had to call Triangle Web Printing at 2 or 3 AM to let them know pages were in.
When they received the call to respond to an Israeli airstrike in the city of Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon, most of the paramedics held back, having previously seen colleagues killed by double-tap attacks targeting rescuers. But the medics from the Islamic Health Association (IHA) rushed to the scene. By the time the other emergency workers arrived at the site, they found the IHA medics had indeed been caught in a second strike. They started evacuating their wounded colleagues, only for their ambulances to be hit in two further attacks. One of the paramedics covered his ears and screamed, convulsing in pain as shrapnel shattered the back window of the ambulance. The rescue mission on Wednesday afternoon had turned into a nightmare as Israel carried out three consecutive strikes on three sets of ambulances and medical workers.
Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics.
Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity.

It understandably won’t get the same attention as gerrymandering, but reminder that Virginia is going to hold another important, democracy-related statewide vote this year: boltsmag.org/virginia-con...
Joni Ernst was a critical YES vote to confirm Pete Hegseth
Joni Ernst has reportedly engaged in multiple extra-marital affairs and has conflicts of interest as a result of her affair partners
And yet, somehow, this is the biggest, boldest and most damaging lie to ever come out of her mouth.
Reading this paean, one might be surprised that Platner repeatedly, and entirely voluntarily, participated in the "forever" wars he derides, going so far as to work for what became Blackwater in order to get back to the scene of war.
