Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.

Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

Senator Ruben Gallego torched Hegseth. Senator Mark Kelly flew combat missions. Hegseth follows Trump's orders. Gallego said the truth out loud: cowardice isn't defense, and attacking a veteran to please a president is betrayal.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

We have seen the Trump playbook before. In 2020 it was to pressure election officials to overturn the result of a free and fair election. Now it is to intimidate state legislatures to illegal redistrict. We defeated him the and we will do so again.

Sen. Mark Kelly says a president demanded lawmakers be **hanged** for telling the truth. That’s not anger—it’s an unhinged bid for power above the law. America survives only when leaders answer to the Constitution, not one man’s rage. And we cannot afford to look away.

The mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was arrested in Revere, MA by ICE for being a criminal illegal alien. She came to the US in a B2 tourist visa and was supposed to leave in 1999. It’s hard to believe that Karoline didn’t know. Rules for thee, but not for me.

You have to ask, why was Witkoff chosen for this critically important role of special envoy to Putin? He had no diplomatic or foreign policy experience. No education on those subjects. So of all people, why him? I think what we all surmised is clear - Putin wanted Witkoff.
