Donald Trump is a vexatious litigant. He's made a career out of suing people, often for defamation of character. He once even sued someone because they called him a millionaire instead of a billionaire.
But he's never sued anyone for calling him a pedophile.
Why?

Trump and his administration are engaging in the biggest cover up in U.S political history. Every member of Congress who has viewed the unredacted files has expressed extreme concern. We demand accountability now.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

NEW: ICE Confiscates Children's Letters at Dilley Concentration Camp. I've filed a FOIA Request to Get Them
ProPublica recently published heart-wrenching letters from children at Dilley. ICE then raided the dormitories to confiscate and destroy those letters. I've filed a Freedom of Information Act Request.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

Some American and Dutch pilots joined the Ukrainian Air Force enough for another squadron. This is big news to me, but none of the Big 3 stations covered it. Why not? Now they have some vets to show them how to use the F-16s efficacy in battle situations.

Trump is suing the DOJ for investigating him, while locking people up in detention centers who are here legally and haven't done anything wrong. He doesn't just think he is above the law, he thinks he is the law.

The judge said the removals likely violated federal law and cooperative agreements requiring consultation with the city, comparing the administration’s position to Orwell’s “1984” and writing that the government couldn’t “dissemble and disassemble historical truths” simply because it has power.

President Zelensky told Axios that Ukrainian society will not allow him to hand territory to Russia. He said it is unfair that Trump publicly calls on Kyiv to make concessions. Any agreement must be put to a referendum, and he rejects Russian sovereignty over Donbas.

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.
Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.
This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.
