By hanging this banner, the DOJ is making it explicitly clear that, above all, it now exists to carry out the petty grievances of one man.

This is not normal.

BREAKING: Taylor Rehmet was just sworn in as the first rank-and-file union member to serve in the Texas Senate.

Senator Rehmet is a beacon of hope not just for Texas, but for every union member and worker in the state. This is a huge win for Texas workers!

After a Super Bowl ad gone wrong, home security company, Ring, will no longer partner with a surveillance and security firm to share and analyze users’ doorbell cam video.
Ring ends security partnership amid ad backlash
Many viewers of a Super Bowl ad dramatizing the search for a lost puppy felt that Ring's plan to link up with surveillance companies who work with police had gone too far.

DOOCY: On Prince Andrew, do you think American associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs too?

TRUMP: I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. That's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it's a shame. I did nothing.

Apparently, if some right-wing YouTube account posts a video about fraud, that means the Trump administration will jump to attention and block child care funding for an ENTIRE state.

This is NOT accountability or oversight—it's blind accusations and a witch hunt.

Six deaths in six weeks: What to know about ICE detentions in Texas

The 911 call reported an apparent suicide.

But the medical examiner ruled his death a homicide — he was suffocated.

Texas teachers carry so much, and most people never see it.

I’m grateful to be endorsed by Texas AFT. As a former public school student, I know how much it matters when a teacher chooses patience over pressure, and care over shortcuts.
Thank you to the educators who keep showing up.

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

As you are voting, keep in mind that the GOP (Abbott) turned over our voter data, and signed a confidential agreement with the Regime to allow them to determine who should be purged from our voter rolls.
