Forget about the nonsense stories like the Kennedy Center being renamed or whatever Bari Weiss is doing

At least 3,800 immigrant children were detained in 2025. Now, kids are not supposed to be kept more than 20 days

At least 1,300 of them have been held longer than 20 days-some for over 4 months

Stephen Miller could not be more obviously a Nazi if he had stepped directly out of a time capsule from 1940 in full German dress uniform wearing a name tag that said “Guten Tag, Mein Name ist: Stephen Müller”

Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally.

Just like it’s still the department of defense

The Epstein files are due to be released in less than 48 hours.

Ghislaine Maxwell just filed a motion in federal court to vacate her conviction.

It’s looking more and more like the White House is colluding with a convicted sex offender and child trafficker to avoid releasing the files.

The guy who has spent 70 million of YOUR money playing golf this year believes a one time payment of 2k will take care of ALL your health insurance needs. Also, a bellicose dictator trying to bribe troops already deployed in American cities & coaxed into war crimes is bad f’n news.

For those that don't know how things work. There were no $1776 checks cut to our troops by legal means. Let alone in the last hour according to a dementia addled old desperate fool. Congress passed no law for that as part of military compensation. He's desperate, lying to the best of us for approval

It's been nearly a month and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Yup. He’s doing everything he can to grab headlines right now. He’s shitting himself over the Epstein files.

Oops. Can't do it. When it was created, it was written specifically that it could not be renamed.
And if they try, we'll just have the Democratic congress rename as the law states.

The board's decision to add Trump's name could face legal hurdles, as the law creating the center prohibits renaming the building.

There shouldn’t be any debate on this issue. By unleashing the military on US citizens (whom he described as “the enemy within”), Trump levied treason against the United States. Congress must impeach and remove him from office. #ImpeachTrump @womensmarch.com @citizensimpeachment.com

I don’t think I’m being alarmist. If anything, I worry that we’ve become so inured to Trump’s madness that we’re not alarmist enough.

Trump must be removed from office as soon as possible. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-real-threat-of-trumps-madness

My work is done for the next few weeks.

Now, I get to turn back to writing scripts. I have one hard one and one easy one I hope to have finished drafts before the start of the next semester!

One historical drama (the hard one), and one comedy.

Wish me luck!

NEW: The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead.

Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

Only a person easily bribed would think that everyone else is easily bribed. $1776 to the soldiers. $1500 to you, to cover a lifetime of medical expenses. $2000 tariff refund.
A man with billions of dollars thinks you can be bought for 2 grand.

Trump such a disgusting narcissistic little fuck.

I’ve never seen it so obvious as it is now , it’s constant, he’s losing his mind. He doesn’t even try to hide how much he loves himself anymore.

Is there any precedent in modern history for a mass shooting occurring in a public setting with 10+ casualties and the perpetrator not being apprehended? It's really hard to fathom.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

Trump's $1776 is the same and kids 67.
So… he’s giving them their own money?

Where’s the tariff money?

Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"
