MAJOR NEWS: Federal judges, including a Trump appointee, just BLOCKED Texas Republicans from using their new gerrymandered congressional map in 2026, ruling it was likely an illegal racial gerrymander. TX must revert to its 2021 map as Trump’s redistricting power grab collapses.

Pictured below are two of the people who caused ACA premiums to soar. "At least 75% of the premium increases ... is because they're losing the advanced premium tax credit. ... It's because of who was elected to Congress and the presidency.”

This is 100% correct. NO ONE can sit at home and collect Medicaid checks.

My son lives in Downtown LA. He says there are no serious protests or evidence of violence.

The scariest thing for he and his roommates is the massive ICE and LAPD presence that looks like “occupation.”

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Donald Trump is spewing outrageous lies about a “white genocide” in South Africa — alleged mass killings of white Afrikaner farmers.

Trump is equating post-apartheid land redistribution with race war. Elon Musk, a native of South Africa and fellow white supremacist, feeds Trump the lies; Trump…

Duckworth on if she's open to voting to confirm Mike Waltz: "I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing, which is handling classified information."

Trump's interview with Terry Moran yesterday where the fascist man baby told one outrageous lie after another and then had a total shit fit when Moran called him out on his whopper about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's non-existent MS-13 tattoo should be all over the news today. Haven't heard anything.

But China is not calling Trump. The phone is not ringing. They will wait him out, and force him to do what his spox swears he won't do. In public. They will twist the knife. No "off-ramps," sorry.

Trump's "never admit you were wrong" rule will be broken in the worst way.
Bookmarked for the inevitable surrender.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Bessent is among the worst at hiding his dismay about Trump's moronic policies. Marco Rubio looks like a corpse when he talks now, but the Treasury Secretary looks like he's 2 seconds from shrieking, "You're right, it's total shit, but what can I do? He's threatening me, Larry!"

I know what proper security protocols look like—this isn’t it. NSA Mike Waltz using Signal for war planning & now we learn he uses his personal Gmail for official biz? That’s not just reckless-it’s lazy. These aren’t rookie mistakes-they’re dangerous, deliberate choices. That ego is out of control.

Billionaires raked in record profits under Biden, but pushed hard for Trump—now they’ve lost billions.

Here’s why they wanted Trump:

📌Tax cuts & deregulation

📌Worker exploitation

📌Keep the poor desperate

📌Racism as a weapon

📌Favor authoritarian control

They wanted domination, not just profit.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved
