CBS reporter Scott Pelley: This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”. If you haven’t already shared this, please do.

The GOP tried this before. It was a disaster.

Trump is refusing to release the guest list of his pay-to-pay crypto dinner, as his press secretary Karoline Leavitt argues that the dinner is in his “personal time." Personal time that brought in $147,586,796.41. https://trib.al/G1YaVZO

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is using his position as a powerful public official to promote Christian nationalism — attempting to tie government to evangelical Christianity. Hegseth has thus begun his “holy mission” by seizing control of the Pentagon to hold Christian prayer services —…

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

Are we great yet?

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

Keep ‘em coming WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge ruled late Tuesday that U.S. officials must retain custody and control of migrants apparently removed to South Sudan, in case he orders their removals were unlawful.

And now, an emergency motion for a temporary injunction to keep the government from deporting people in another case to South Sudan. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Germany, Canada, Australia, the Vatican, and now Romania -- all national elections this year rejecting far-right parties, all thanks to Trump.

Vile. Despicable. Loathsome. Odious. Abhorrent. Cruel. Heartless. Disgusting. Detestable. I really can’t find the right word to describe how I feel about Donald Trump’s spawn.

Beneath contempt.

Let food into Gaza NOW! Netanyahu and his government are starving 2 million civilians. This is day 76 of the blockade. Trucks with food are waiting to get in but are blocked. Children have already died from withholding food. The U.S. is complicit in this gross violation of international law.

4 new words added to the script. I want my lawyer. Every day is shut the fuck up Friday

A National Weather Service office in Kentucky was scrambling to cover the overnight forecast on Friday as severe storms moved through much of the eastern U.S. The office is one of several left without an overnight forecaster as a result of cuts ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency.

Really confusing day for anyone who worked in a restaurant to realize that when we were told an item on the menu had been "86'ed" that meant the kitchen staff had assassinated it in cold blood.

Desperation has led the FAA to buy replacement parts on eBay and create new parts with 3D printers, according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. At a Senate hearing, Duffy told lawmakers on the Appropriations subcommittee that the FAA is struggling. Meanwhile,…

Our allies for a century all hate us, but at least the rulers of Saudi Arabia and Qatar appreciate how easy it is to get what they want from our govt, and appear to enjoy our president’s willingness to trade US govt policy for personal enrichment. So we have some friends.

BREAKING: Last night in the Omaha, Nebraska Mayor race, Democrat John Ewing unseated the Republican Mayor, in a deep red district. This victory ends the GOP's 12-year hold on Nebraska's largest city. Tides are turning. Blue wave in 2026.

We are out here trying to fight fascism and @jaketapper.bsky.social and @cnn.com think we want an expose on a retired president.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

What was that about Sleepy Joe?

Jesus... the racism is just right there... overt, unashamed, and vile.

Great Replacement Theory in action… On day one, Donald Trump suspended the refugee settlement admissions program. But now he’s giving white Afrikaners U.S. citizenship because they “could be assimilated easily into our country”? This isn’t a dog whistle—it’s a freaking bullhorn!

Breaking: leaked audio proves Sean Duffy knows flying right now isn’t safe.

NEW: A group of 49 “refugees” were warmly greeted by the Trump regime upon their arrival in America. Warmly welcomed because they’re white — from South Africa — and had been swiftly granted refugee status because Trump and his fellow white supremacists believe these Afrikaners were victims of…

What about those 4 missing fighter jets? Were they traded for a luxury 747?

The Episcopal Church is ending its refugee resettlement partnership with the federal government over the Trump administration’s “preferential treatment” of white South Africans.

The fact that the attorney general's last job before this one was lobbying for the Qataris is a little on the nose.

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.
