In an extraordinary rebuke to Donald Trump, the Indiana state Senate rejected a gerrymandered congressional map pushed by the president that would have given Republicans a lopsided 9-0 advantage in the state’s House delegation.
Indiana Republicans just defied Trump's pressure to rig their House maps

Ossoff: "This is one of the most consequential votes this Senate will take all year. By saying yea or nay to the clerk of the Senate later today, senators will decide whether people live or die. Senators will decide whether Georgians & folks across the country are financially ruined or have a shot."

Someone asked me a good question on here. How do we stop ICE from violating our constitutional rights. We don't. Our local elected officials do that job. Our Governor, or Sheriffs our mayors, Police. They stop ICE. With force if necessary. That's how you stop ICE from pulling us out of our homes.

Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

Trump’s making it easier for polluters to profit from poisoning waterways like the Chesapeake Bay.

A healthy Bay is an economic & environmental lifeline for Maryland & clean waterways are vital to communities around the U.S.

But in Trump-world, his big money pals always come first.

“Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."

In a bombshell decision on Tuesday, a federal court in Texas blocked a new congressional map that was created after President Trump demanded that the state redraw district lines to hand Republicans five new seats.
A Trump-appointed judge just blocked Trump’s Texas gerrymander

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

I will not be buying any World Cup tickets or merchandise due to FIFA’s collaboration with the Trump regime.

Gianni Infantino has a dictator fetish. It’s grotesque.

The president has been warning host cities under Democratic control that he will call on Fifa’s president to switch venues if he deems there is a problem

There has been a Sunday morning church shooting in Michigan that has effectively preempted the press conference about the Saturday night beachside restaurant and pub shooting in North Carolina that happened around the same time as the Texas casino shooting and also the church is completely on fire
