Staten Island traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck blasting through school zones or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022.
The truck belongs to James Giovansanti, who lives and works there as an NYPD officer. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/23/t...
“My friends across the aisle” nonsense needs to die. They’d gladly see you rounded up and put in camps. They’re literally cheering the construction of concentration camps now.
Posted this morning by the President of the United States.
Not The Onion.
This is the internet, we don't do nuance here. I managed to get yelled at by a flock of Canadians yesterday. That's hard to do, but I did it.
Don't get me wrong, she's plenty weird enough on her own.
The Republicans' “vote-a-rama” wrapped up just after 3:30 a.m., while most of America was still asleep, and resulted in a 50–48 GOP victory to kickstart $70 billion in funding to ICE and Border Patrol. trib.al/Q8xAOMM
JUST IN: Virginia adopted a new law yesterday to forbid sheriffs & local police from contracting with ICE — if ICE doesn't say it'll follow state laws & agree to let its agents be prosecuted.
Everyone seems to agree ICE won't promise that, and that this spells the end of ICE contracts in Virginia.
This president’s voters chose him to protect and dignify women’s sports
They never minded his record of locker room talk
Here is how he chooses to congratulate a women’s sports team
To be this misogynistic, you really have to try
To be this incompetent, you really have to be misogynistic
Katie Perry tried to warn us.
One of the more alarming things that have come to light during The Current Unpleasantness is the insanely high percentage of adults who think having sex with children is just a thing.
If only there was a word for “exploitative sexual behavior with a 16-year-old girl when he was 30.”
“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.”

Data centers have contaminated ground water in Oregon.
They've released smog into the air in Memphis.
And they've contributed to electricity bill spikes — all while receiving millions of dollars in tax breaks.
Is it any wonder why a nationwide backlash against AI data centers is brewing?
Weird that they would fire the navy secretary who’s been overseeing a war we’ve won at least five times.
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.
Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.
This is insane, tinpot authoritarian shit.

OMG -- the RFK Jr breathing noises during this hearing are absolutely horrifying

Priceless post from the official White House social media
To every single Republican who was angry & upset about Virginia and its redistricting vote yesterday, I have a simple question:
"Do you support a constitutional amendment banning gerrymandering by either party nationwide?"
If so, let's do it. If not, shut up.
The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!
1/7 Palantir’s manifesto is a terrifying glimpse into tech-authoritarianism.
They aren't just selling software, but dictating global morality.
Who do they think they are?
Who elected Alex Karp and Peter Thiel to run the world?
Europe should stay away from Palantir
If you like what happened in Virginia, you’re gonna love DC statehood
DC statehood yesterday
Exclusive: The Trump administration has declined to disclose the total amount raised, the identities of all donors or basic details about the White House’s ballroom design — until now.
Here’s what we learned from the records obtained by The Post:
He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence
Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.
