Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

"To any governors or state legislators out there... if you are in a position where you have the power to redraw your maps... if you have the ability to meet this moment with the urgency that it deserves, I'm calling on you to do exactly what we're doing in California and to fight fire with fire."

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.
Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this.
Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

Wow.
Not at all surprising, but wow.
Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

All true. Except that we have a federal administration that is moving quickly through the classic fascistic and authoritarian playbook, with chilling parallels to evil regimes of history (and the present).
And as Americans we need to recognize that.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

If you’re doing a ‘double tap’ strike on a hospital, you’re a war criminal and a terrorist.
#GAZA: Multiple journalists killed by Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital, including a freelance journalist who worked for @apnews.com.
At least 8 people were killed in a double-tap strike on the 4th floor, Gaza's Health Ministry said, the second attack came as rescue crews arrived.

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia detained by ICE during Baltimore check-in
The detention, which was expected, happened after Abrego Garcia walked into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Baltimore for a check-in after being released from custody on Friday.
