He's going to have a hard time defending unilaterally demolishing the east wing which is protected as a historical site, especially after saying that it wouldn't be touched.

His criminal immunity is limited to actions within the official scope of the responsibilities of his office. He has no authority to spend money independent of congress, extort tribute or to suspend due process not to impose tariffs.

No easy way to stop this. Texas Dems hope the courts will help, but it's a race for time before the 2026 election process starts. Republicans already "cracked" Charlotte & now they want more.

It will likely come down to getting the Dem & Ind vote out in any vulnerable areas.

North Carolina Republicans are at it again, redrawing congressional lines mid-decade to guarantee themselves another GOP seat. The new map carves up diverse, competitive communities to weaken Black voters & silence Dem voices, especially in the 1st District, where RepDavis now faces a disadvantage.

Publix allows the open carry of guns in all FL stores.

Is that armed man on your aisle the next mass shooter or someone just stocking up for the cookout?

Fun fact: Publix bans open carry at its own headquarters.

Tell them how you feel at the numbers below.

The reporter said they’d never seen anything like it, an active U.S. Attorney directly pressuring a member of the press over a summary of public reporting. A glaring reminder of Halligan’s inexperience and of how dangerously blurred the line between power and press has become.
Fascism.

Every day is a new low and a new embarrassment from Trump's team of incompetent twats.

This administration’s main focuses are:
1) internet trolling
2) owning the libs
3) making themselves appear powerful through bullying the weak and powerless

BTW, S.V. Date is a great "journal"! 😆

Federal agents descend on Chinatown in apparent raid

The raid follows recent federal arrests at a Midtown migrant shelter, part of what officials call a broader push to restore order in New York City.

If you are a "leader" being quiet on this now, know it will not be getting better anytime soon. The $171 billion for the secret police force is only just now starting to flow. They are on a hiring spree for proud boys.

Politicians, businesses, media - get on the right side of this ASAP.

Federal agents raided Family Night at La Catedral Arena in Wilder, Idaho. A community racetrack packed with families, food, and music. They came under the guise of “illegal betting.” What they unleashed was terror: children zip-tied, parents separated, and chaos erupting across a crowd of 1,000.

La Catedral wasn’t a crime scene. It was a bilingual community gathering — families celebrating culture and connection. What happened was a militarized show of force against Latino families. It was meant to intimidate, to remind them: even your joy is suspect.
