Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. Now they’re suing him, and the case landed before a judge Trump himself appointed. But Trump is still furious about which judge they got, for one very specific reason.

I want to thank the service member who shared their story about what it's like to serve right now. It's not easy to be honest about burnout and open-ended orders when you're still in uniform. Every service member has a constitutional right to speak up. That's not unpatriotic or inappropriate.

We demand justice for Asia Bennett.
A cover image preceding a quote from Angie Nixon with white letters on a background that reads: Justice for Asia Bennett. A yellow arrow on the bottom right instruct you to swipe to the next image“My heart breaks for the family and friends of Asia Bennett, a young woman whose life was stolen by someone who was supposed to protect her. Like so many in our community, I’m enraged by the body camera footage released by JSO. 

“Asia was a 22-year-old domestic violence victim who walked out of her home begging for help. Instead of de-escalation, she was met with deadly force. When a person in crisis reaches out to law enforcement for help, they deserve protection – not bullets and death. 

“I stand with Asia’s family and attorney Ben Crump in demanding full transparency, a complete independent investigation, and immediate accountability. Our community is tired of burying its children, and we will not stop fighting until every Floridian is treated with safety, dignity, and respect.

Justice for Asia Bennett.

"Governor’s Flag Order in Memory and Respect of Dolly Parton

In accordance with the authority vested in me as Governor, I hereby order that the flags of the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Virginia be flown at half-staff on all state and local buildings and grounds in the Commonwealth of Virginia in memory and respect of Dolly Parton.

We honor Dolly Parton not only for her extraordinary contributions to music and culture, but also for her enduring commitment to children throughout the Commonwealth. Through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, she has helped foster a lifelong love of reading among our youngest Virginians. Her generosity has expanded opportunity for countless children and strengthened communities across the Commonwealth. Our prayers are with her family during this difficult time.

I hereby order that the flags shall be lowered at 6:00pm ET this evening, August 25, and remain at half-staff until sunset on Tuesday, September 1.

Ordered on this 25ᵗʰ day of August 2026.

Sincerely,

Abigail D. Spanberger, Governor"

I cannot stop thinking now about the fact that over the decades of her book charity Dolly appears to have given away 100,000,000 books to small children, one a month, each child. I’m seeing such a widespread outpouring of loss and love, and all of it … all of it … is proper and deserved.

Canada leading the way 🇨🇦 🫡 Cartoon by Steve Neasr.
A massive fist descends from the top left corner. The sleeve features the blue fabric, white star, and red-and-white stripes of the American flag. The thumb is colored a bright, unnatural cheeto-orange, a caricature representing Donald Trump. A much smaller Mark Carney looks upward at the massive hand. He uses his index finger to single-handedly hold up the giant orange thumb, stopping it from crushing him. A speech bubble coming from Carney reads, "NOPE."
