The people who screamed that children would be emotionally scarred by hearing a drag queen read “Jack and the Beanstalk” are OK with those same children watching Pete Hegseth’s livestream of a man getting his brains blown out by a bunch of guns.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA): "At this point in time in 2022, a little over 200,000 Virginians had voted. At this point in time in 2026, approximately 450,000 Virginians have voted early."

Actor Keegan Allen was beaten & robbed at gunpoint in West Hollywood, then immediately took to social to blame Karen Bass. I’m sorry this happened to him, but W. Hollywood is its own city, patrolled by the LA County Sheriff’s Department. Karen Bass isn’t the mayor of WeHo. Wrong city. Wrong mayor.

7 shots fired into an SUV with a 5-year-old child in the back seat as the vehicle was moving away. Markwayne Mullin claims the driver “weaponized” his vehicle. Bullshit! “Weaponized vehicle” has become ICE’s go-to excuse for shooting folks. Where’s the evidence? It’s not in this new footage.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.
