Fun fact: After the Texas ruling and Indiana failing to redraw their maps, Democrats are now projected to win the redistricting battle. We told you not to start that dumb shit.

Jacob Soboroff points out that part of the benefit of the protest training taking place in Charlotte is to defy the narrative that Donald Trump and Stephen Miller want to use to smear the protests as violent and unruly.

Condemnation from this entire rational press scrum should have been swift and decisive. No media outlet that still considers itself a news source needs access to this deplorable behavior.

Trump spilled 1,600+ convicted criminals—many of them violent—back onto the streets; then declared via executive order that his political rivals were "terrorists"; then told his fans that anyone identified as a terrorist could be summarily murdered.... this is *exactly* what he thought would happen.

WHOA. Tom Homan was being investigated for accepting a $50K bribe from undercover agents before Trump and Pam Bondi shut it down. The $$$ was in exchange for access to government contracts in Trump’s 2nd term. HUGE scoop. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.
