India’s Foreign Ministry says it has no record of any call between Prime Minister Modi and President Trump on Wednesday, contradicting Trump’s claim that Modi pledged to stop buying Russian oil during a conversation that day.

Prosecute I.C.E. agents.

These doofuses fail to announce themselves, refuse to show badges, stalk, surveil, terrorize, assault and abduct residents.

Violent crimes. Governors should instruct their respective attorneys general to enforce states’ criminal laws.

Force the Feds to defend this.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

“If the democrats don’t let us be unchecked lords of America we are going to defund everything they enjoy, like for example continuing to have a society.”

Hm. I’m gonna have to go ahead and say, in the spirit of the Founding Fathers, go fuck yourselves.

To the extent anyone cares, the legality of tapping into tariff money is identical to the legality of tapping into federal income tax money, because they are both taxes that accrue to the treasury. Appropriations are still needed to spend it

Leavitt: "The president tapped into tariff revenue to keep WIC money going out the door. He found a creative solution to keep the troops paid. And rather than congratulate him for doing that, this unprecedented action to get our troops paid, Dems want to sue him for it. They're saying it's illegal."

Q: "You mentioned a $1,300 drug?"

Trump: "Ya, I was referring to Ozempic, or the fat loss drug."

Q: "Those are going to be $150 out of pocket?"

Trump: "They'll be much lower."

Dr. Oz, interjecting: "We have not negotiated those yet...Ozempic has not been negotiated yet."

If you want to know what a large sustained military occupation of the US would look like the closest thing I can think of is The Troubles in Ireland, but a hundred times the population and several hundred times the guns.

Disappearings, assassinations, death squads, torture, and constant fear.

Politics often depends on the richest in society.

That's why I'm SO proud of our campaign. We're funded small dollar donors. We've raised almost 6x more in donations under $200 than the next five candidates in my race COMBINED.

We're by and for the people — NOT corporations and billionaires.

Abughazaleh, Katherine M.
$1,158,374.00

Fine, Laura

“Young adults aren’t having enough kids” bro I’m employed full-time with a damn PhD and I’m struggling to afford both groceries and rent.

I love kids but I can barely afford my pets.

Want us to have kids? Try UBI, rent control, universal healthcare, cheaper child care.

I cannot express how dangerous it is that legacy media is normalizing Trump's targeting of his political opponents. I don't like Bolton. But what is happening here is dangerous and wrong.

WIN: The Arizona Supreme Court unanimously upheld the state's Election Procedures Manual, rejecting the RNC's attempt to block its enforcement. The case now returns to an appeals court where it will weigh the RNC's challenges to other provisions of the EPM.
