Tr*mp started his career in the public eye by pretending to fire people from fake jobs. Now he’s worked his way up to being in charge of an administration that has murdered* at least 86 people. What do you think is next?

A Utah judge Friday refused to halt her landmark ruling that struck down the GOP-led legislature’s gerrymander. The decision means the court-ordered, fairer map — which gives Democratic and independent voters a meaningful chance at representation — remains on track for the 2026 elections.

And they would need way more than 20 boats to carry 400 tons of cocaine to match the president of Honduras.
The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

Some fact-checking on "Little Mike Johnson," which I think is appropriate no matter what his height.
