After our last post, MAGA voices rushed to claim that Trump had nothing to do with the traffic stop involving Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s son, where federal agents demanded proof of his citizenship. Let’s be clear about why this is not a coincidence.

This is exactly what she voted for! Why did she have to experience it personally before she understood the problem?
IOWA — “I’m a very pissed off conservative Christian woman. I almost died because I was denied medical care after being diagnosed with a fatal fetus… Cornered by the system… pro life? Choose me. Choose the mother.”

It had to happen to her to get this? #ForcedBirthNation

📽️ WATCH: After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, which led to 18 million hens being killed and a spike in egg prices, the Department of Agriculture didn’t investigate whether the virus was airborne.

But ProPublica did.

The ACLU has posted 17 sworn declarations from people locked up at the Trump Adminstration's largest immigrant prison camp, at Fort Bliss in Texas.

In World War Two, the same site was called the "Fort Bliss Enemy Alien Detention Station."

Update: DOJ haw now sued 18 states.

My law firm has already filed to intervene to defend voters in 13 of the first 14 cases. We are working on the remains 5.

This is an insane effort by DOJ and we are a small firm. But we are committed to protecting free and fair elections in 2026.

More soon.
DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data.

My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

Trump pardoned a Honduran drug lord who helped move TONS of cocaine into the U.S.

Trump does not care about being tough on crime, stopping drug trafficking, or keeping Americans safe.

This is corrupt beyond belief, and EVERYONE should call it out.

Trump claims he wants to lower housing costs, but his allies in the House just axed a bipartisan bill that UNANIMOUSLY passed the Senate to do just that.

If Republicans keep blocking legislation to cut housing costs, Democrats will pass it ourselves when we take back Congress.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Dear corporate media: here is your simple explainer for the IG report on Signalgate.

The information was properly classified. It was copied from a classified written document. It was sent over a non-classified system, namely Signal. Hegseth took no steps to declassify any of it.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.

Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.

And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.

Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

It's a power grab.

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.
