The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect.
The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and was granted asylum by Trump in April of this year 2025.

The Trump Administration’s smear of immigrants and asylum seekers because of one sick man’s horrific acts - a man who was trained by the CIA, it is worth noting, to fight an American war - is disgusting.
We are so much better than this racist regime.

Trump’s regime has 1. Separated families 2. Been involved in corruption (crypto, bribes, nepotism) 3. Gone after political enemies & minorities/DEI 4. Gone after Press, Justices, Universities 5. Defunded Healthcare, Education, Food 6. Introduced the New Gestapo — and the worst is yet to come

Q: Why are my electricity bills going up?
A: You are likely (a) in a region impacted by Trump tariffs and retaliatory price hikes in electricity from Canada, or (b) in a region subsidizing billionaire-owned data farms for AI or crypto mining.
It’s not because of immigrants or drag queens.

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.
The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.
At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Everyone one of these people has been asked to leave their home, their family, and their job to work without pay bc of the shutdown. We're better off thinking of ways to make this backfire on Abbott than to treat them poorly.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.
Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.
The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism
In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

at this point you have to acknowledge that there is no way that these guys don't try to mess with the 2026 midterms. there is absolutely no respect for the legitimacy of the opposition
Stephen Miller: "Eventually elections don’t carry the day because violence beats votes… When we see a muscular response from the federal government, it’s because we’re not going to let violence beat votes."
Is he implying federal intervention determines political legitimacy, not ballots or courts?
