To be clear, there is zero chance Zacharia took the Chinese bar exam. She doesn't speak Chinese and only Chinese citizens can take it.

Healthcare is a human right! That’s why I’ve brought home millions for local hospitals, to build and expand behavioral health clinics, and for emergency services across the state. From Bernalillo to Belen, the East Mountains to Ft. Sumner to Sandia—these facilities will help save lives.

Scandals this week in the Texas senate race: Ken Paxton on video with his latest mistress partying in Dubai with a wanted fugitive who committed over $300 million in health care fraud and gave $190K to Paxton. James Talarico stayed home to recover from the flu.

"When Trump plucked Katie Zacharia from obscurity & appointed her as his new press sec, he called her 'an attorney.' This is also how Zacharia describes herself. But Popular Information searched for evidence in all 50 states, plus DC, that she was admitted to practice law anywhere — & found none."

Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, claims she’s a lawyer. Is she?
There is no evidence Zacharia has ever been licensed to practice law — and the White House did not provide any

This is glorious. The billionaires thought their power was so limitless they could just bulldoze the will of the people, and they didn't even bother trying to buy off politicians. Just asserted that they were going to do a thing and then the county and the people said fuck all the way off.

Russians are confused about the diesel deal. They say, "There’s a huge fuel shortage in Russia, with long lines at gas stations and rising prices. Yet we’re going to sell diesel to the US? This will only lead to even greater shortages and higher prices."

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

The Moron and Lunatic in the White House has now declared China and Russia aren’t helping Iran, and that if they were, “we would know about it very fast.” We do know. His own Defense Secretary told senators they are. Trump's covering for Putin and Xi as they help Iran kill American service members
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump), dated 10/12/26 at 7:45 PM, reading: “I see so many comments from the Radical Left Morons and Lunatics that China and Russia are helping the ‘wonderful’ Islamic Republic of Iran. If they are, it’s at a very low level, but I don’t believe they are at all. They have too much to lose, and we would know about it, and know about it very fast! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
