A Conservative MP tipped as a future party leader has been condemned for saying large numbers of legally settled families must be deported, in order to ensure the UK is mostly “culturally coherent”.

North Carolina moved closer Tuesday to dismantling a historically Black congressional district in a move one of its former representatives described as “blatant discrimination.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Here's the thing I don't understand. You can't as much as sneeze near a historic site in Washington without like 14 commissions, councils, and advisory boards giving you the okay. And everybody now is like...yup, fine with us? wtf?

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

For three weeks the government has been shut down.

For three weeks, people’s health costs have spiked.

And the President and Republicans in Congress are having a picnic?

It’s no picnic for the American people.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

NEW -- Karoline Leavitt keeps insulting HuffPost, but does not want to answer what seems like a pretty simple question: Who picked Budapest as the next meeting site between Trump and his 2016 benefactor/murderous war criminal Vladimir Putin?

🚨ALERT: there are 3 ICE / US Park Police vehicles stopped on BW Parkway near Cheverly. Park police can do traffic stops on BW Parkway between Baltimore & DC and are actively collaborating with ICE.

WARNING: Commercial vehicles are not allowed on the parkway & are therefore at higher risk for stops.

It does somehow sum everything up neatly. Trashy vulgarian unilaterally decides to tear up an iconic American building as though it’s one of his tacky private clubs, rather than a national monument he has very temporarily (and foolishly) been permitted to inhabit.

The White House, dressed in white but built by enslaved hands, now crumbles under its own illusion. This administration calls it renewal, yet the ghosts of those who built it still whisper through the dust. You cannot rebuild justice on a foundation poured in chains. #Pinks #MomSky

Trump’s Press Secretary tried to show how a journalist was “a left wing hack” by posting screenshots from their texts. The texts confirm that the question was a reasonable one, and that Karoline needs therapy.
