Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.
Pam Bondi knew.
Kash Patel knew.
Emil Bove knew.
And they made the investigation go away.
A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

Never heard of Kirk before but really struggling with statement below. Imagine hearing this after your child was shot and killed. “It’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”

We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.

When you have a strong emotional response to something online, your first reaction should not be to share that content. Rather, your first reaction should be to pause and ask yourself, “who is benefiting from making me feel this way and what are they trying to get me to do?”

Mike Johnson’s assertion that President Trump’s approval rating is 90% is “the kind of falsehood you might hear from authoritarian state media,” @jamellebouie.net writes. “It is a servile display of allegiance as much as it is an attempt to mislead viewers. It’s Johnson telling Trump he is his man.”

This is raw. This is truth. And yes—it stings. But if we want real change, we can’t keep tiptoeing around the wreckage. We name names. We hold the guilty accountable. No more passes. No more silence. Read it—and let it burn.
Trump didn’t just gut foreign aid—he torched the soul of American compassion. Clinics shut, lives lost, dignity erased. And Rubio? He’s the architect behind the smokescreen. Read how USAID was killed off in broad daylight—while the world watched.

Just 4 days after Israel's attacks we have news via playground bully talk on social media that the US president is considering joining the conflict. Surprise: he wants to be a wartime president. He is also the last person on earth anyone should want leading a nation to war.

The Trump administration will freeze over $2 billion in federal funds because Harvard refused to comply with a list of demands. Harvard leaders believed saying no was worth the risk.
