The DOJ's voting section has shrunk drastically,from an estimated 30 attorneys at the start of the Trump administration to only three, due to resignations or reassignments, according to a group supporting the department’s remaining staff. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is the poison of the U.S. that’s become almost absolutely ruinous. We’re a sick country in many respects.

Why is it that Tom Cruise, an insanely talented and reportedly very nice man, always seems so inauthentic when he speaks? I don’t think it’s because I have a bias about Scientology. He just can’t seem to convey naturalness anymore.

The United States has become a cautionary tale. The only bright spot in this tale for U.S. citizens is the rest of the world seems to be learning the lesson. What will it take for a third of this country to finally understand what evil they have done?

I am often critical of legacy media, but we all owe a debt of gratitude to the 60 Minutes team, Bill Owens and now Wendy McMahon for standing up for what is right while CBS's owner prepares for total surrender and capitulation. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/b...

Just hit me that the importing of white folks from South Africa and exporting of brown people is actually, literally an attempt at a great replacement

Murphy is SO FRIGGING GOOD here.

We need the Times or Pro Publica to do a report on ICE agents who are going along with these immoral, unconstitutional acts, and why. And what happens to the ones who refuse?

You mean to tell me that Chicago gets to claim Michael Jordan, the first Black President AND the first American Pope? Good lord you ain't going to be able to tell them NOTHING.

The Washington Post is reporting that this year the Trump administration has spent $166 billion more than was spent all last year. Will that make a difference to Trump supporters having doubts? It sure should. I mean, $166 BILLION with nothing to show for it!

One day, Trumpism will be gone - and we’ll dig out and assess the damage it did. And only Steven Miller will come out looking worse than Lindsey Graham. Good God is this guy pathetic.

All those who have fought for civil rights must be flipping out at how the JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, for God’s sake, is now going by Trump’s “definition” of civil rights. Disgusting. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/u...

Not a surprise that we’re being misled, eh? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...
