Watching what is happening in Los Angeles from afar, I have never been more pissed off at the millions of people who simply didn't bother to vote.

I'm giving you a mission for this Memorial Day holiday weekend. I want you to talk to two people—friends, neighbors, cookout attendees—about why Trump's proposed budget would be a disaster for American kids. We owe the next generation every chance, and this isn't it.

New: a man 'disappeared' by ICE was not included on a government list of people deported to El Salvador's mega prison. But we found his name in a hacked flight manifest to the country. Raises questions about how much the government knows about who it is deporting www.404media.co/man-disappea...

We’re spying on Greenland and Denmark now. You can’t make this stuff up: The U.S. is stepping up its intelligence-gathering efforts regarding Greenland, drawing America’s spying apparatus into President Trump’s campaign to take over the island

All the talk of Trump’s tariffs and it was barely mentioned that he has raked in almost 3 BILLION in the last 6 months. He knows most of MSM are a bunch of hacks thinking about that second home in Hamptons. He basically owns the interwebs and influencers, he calls the tune & the seals bark & clap.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

To find out more about the curious case of FBI chief Kash Patel receiving $25,000 from a Ukrainian-Russian-American filmmaker who was part of a Putin-financed propaganda operation, I knocked on the door of a house in Beverly Hills. Here's what happened. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5-C...

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation "It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."

Trump denies disaster aid, tells states to do more. FEMA has denied federal assistance for tornadoes in Arkansas, flooding in WV, and a windstorm in Washington state. It also has refused NC’s request for extended relief funding in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. stateline.org/2025/04/25/t...

By ratifying Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea, the Trump peace plan undermines one of the core pillars of the post-1945 world order—nations cannot change their borders by force. This is a reward for aggression and an invitation to more aggression. bit.ly/3YhkKqZ

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

Are they trying to kill us? Trump proposes a $40 billion cut at HHS—one-third of its discretionary budget. Cuts would hit chronic disease program, rural health initiatives, and HIV work. It would eliminate funding for Head Start. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.
