In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.
This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

We wanted to share this to help people understand what’s going on. It was shared by Jay Kuo and written by Steve Vladeck a clear, straightforward breakdown of the SNAP situation.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

I’m sorry, if someone has a birth certificate that proves they were born here but a mobile app with face recognition software disagrees, they will side with the app?

What?
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

One of Trump's billionaire buddies just bought Paramount. Now, he wants to buy Warner Bros.

That means one giant company could control almost everything you watch on TV.

An embarrassingly obvious point, but...

This. Is. Illegal.

If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed.

In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists.

Restaurant owner gives free meals to active military during Trump's shutdown— ICE is forcing her to deport.

She owns Tacos El Fluffy with her son—a U.S. Navy veteran.

Her work visa has been revoked—forced to self deport by end of month.

Everyone involved in making this happen is a monster.

To those in the streets:
Your footsteps are not requests—
they’re demands carved into pavement.
You do not whisper—you roar
for the silenced, the stolen, the ignored.
No kings, no crowns—
only the fury of people done kneeling.
Let the ground remember every step
and let power tremble at your march.

Speaker Johnson admitted that during the shutdown, OMB and cabinet secretaries are deciding which programs live or die, including special education. But Congress holds the power of the purse. Handing budget authority to the executive is a surrender of Article I.
REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

The Pentagon is restricting press access, and the NYT raises a serious First Amendment concern. The SecDef’s response? A wave emoji. It’s a childish mockery of accountability. But dodging scrutiny with memes is how authoritarians treat a free press.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.
The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity
In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.
