I just got home from shopping in “bombed out” #Portland and I didn’t see one fire, or fight, or any boarded up windows! Just a vibrant colorful city filled with awesome restaurants and stores, all open for business! Even saw some new ones I want to check out!

Is Portland Burning?
No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests."

Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race."

Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

Saying they are “Narco Boats” with zero evidence.

We honestly don’t know if Hegseth is just getting drunk and angry and blowing up random boats in some drunken rage.

We honestly do not know.

Because again. They offer no evidence.

At this point he’s just murdering people.

"ICE is arresting the worst of the worst."

Mike Johnson's official bio says he has "two decades of previous experience in Constitutional law." Yet, when Trump threatens to execute Democratic members of Congress, he suddenly has no opinion.

This is what shameful cowardice does to someone like Johnson and it is how he will be remembered.
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Democrats to be executed: "Attorneys have to parse the language and determine all that."

Holy moly, do people still think the U.S. is an ally of Europe? It is now an officially stated foreign policy goal to undermine the EU and centrist European governments that don't ideologically align with MAGA.
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff spent five hours with Putin. No State Department. No Secretary of State. No NATO partners. No cameras. They walked in with “peace” talking points and walked out with nothing. There was no real negotiation, no plan. Every serious proposal was rejected.

Trump "National Security Strategy" document is Nazism.

Referring to Europe:

"migration policies...transforming the continent"

"loss of national identities"

"continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years"

Needs to "regain its civilizational self-confidence"

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.

Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

Now that SCOTUS has validated gerrymandering for any racist arbitrary reason imaginable—EVERY Blue state Governor needs to redistrict their state to completely eliminate red seats.

This is the MAGA precedent. It is law now. Run with it. Beat MAGAs at their own game. Vote MAGAs out permanently.

🚨SCOOP: Amazon is preparing to sever ties with USPS and expand its shipping network as a true coast-to-coast rival.

It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.

Kushner, it appears, had added in a provision to the Ukraine Peace proposal that would have forced both Ukraine and Russia to take actions that would specifically benefit Saudi Arabia, a country that is paying the presidential son-in-law at least $25 million a year.
