Rep. Ted Lieu slams the nearly $1.8B taxpayer-funded slush fund as "completely unethical & totally ridiculous." He warns Acting AG Todd Blanche will lose his law license for this behavior. Call your members of Congress & tell them HELL NO! 📞 202-224-3121

And let's be clear for the few here who think Democrats shld "just focus on affordability": these Democrats voted to actively punish trans people. That's not "focusing on affordability." That's going out of your way, bucking your party, to hurt people.

Trump has no time to go to his kid's wedding but plenty of time to go golfing. I bet that feels real good for his son.

Trump says he’ll ‘try’ to attend son’s wedding this weekend but it’s ‘not good timing’
“This is not good timing for me,” the president said. “I have a thing called Iran.”

Before Todd Blanche helped Trump use a settlement to launder a $1.8 billion slush fund, Brendan Carr helped him use a BS lawsuit to extract a $16 million bribe from Paramount. The D.C. Bar could have put a stop to it back then by disbarring Carr. It failed.

Some very good news out of a Texas federal court: Alex Jones doesn't have standing to appeal a Bankruptcy court order that placed InfoWars' assets in state receivership, meaning they can be licensed or sold to us. More to come, obviously, but we're almost there.
In sum, no appellant has standing to appeal.
III. Conclusion
The court concludes that no appellant has standing to appeal the October 2025 order that
“[t]he automatic stay imposed under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code in the Jones
Bankruptcy Case does not apply to FSS or any of FSS’s asset.” (Docket Entry No. 2-30 at 2). The
court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. The appeal is dismissed.
The motion for leave to file a corrected reply, (Docket Entry No. 37), is granted. The
motion to strike, (Docket Entry No. 38), is denied as moot.
The October 2025 order remains operative. Jones and/or Free Speech Systems may move
to stay the October 2025 order pending appeal to the Fifth Circuit by Friday, May 22, 2026.
SIGNED on May 15, 2026, at Houston, Texas.

The money you put into libraries, parks, schools, and museums you get back a thousandfold. Without indulging cliches about social class, it literally raises the conversation. You’ve got people wondering about van Gogh’s colors instead of ranting and complaining. We all see this in our own lives

I wrote back in November about how easy it was to find leaked passport photos and driver's licenses online. The spills have only gotten worse in the months that age verification laws rolled out. We're reaching a point (if not already) where our government IDs aren't worth shit in the digital world.

It's far too easy to find leaked passports and driver's licenses online
Passports and driver's licenses are easy to find online, thanks to a dizzying array of websites and apps that require a copy but aren't keeping the data safe.

Firstly, I think this is good. Secondly, aside from the fact that you shouldn’t be using the machines to do the science/write the science, I am pondering how this actually happens?! Do people not have co-authors and teams who read their papers and contribute to it? How does this get to this point?

Finally, Ronald Reagan can rest in peace, knowing that children will no longer have to learn that some white people were the bad guys in that whole slavery thing.
The millions of admirers of the TV presentation of ‘Roots’ didn’t include Ronald Reagan, who said, ‘Very frankly, I thought the bias of all the good people being one color and all the bad people being another was rather destructive.’ He added that he was impressed by the huge audience the series attained, but ‘I didn’t know there was anyone who could stay home eight nights in a row.’
