The report conflicts with the authorities’ initial account, which said Tyrin Johnson had been shot in the chest.

Eight years ago, Virginia resident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered.   I joined colleagues in Virginia's Democratic delegation in renewing our call for Trump to release the transcript of his 2019 call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman following Khashoggi’s murder.

Trump campaigned on being a businessman who would grow the economy, but he’s governing as a grifter determined to destroy it while he enriches himself and his billionaire friends. It’s leaving everyday people with fewer opportunities and paychecks that aren’t keeping up.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million to defeat Prop 40. Their combined wealth in January 2025 was $439 BILLION. By September 2026, it had grown to $722 BILLION. They're accidentally making the case for the billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

One senator writes ICE's budget. The two companies that profit from every ICE raid send her campaign checks. She cashes them. Nearly three decades of "concern," and the one thing she's never once been troubled by is the money. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-fill...

Billionaire political spending was about $16 million in 2008. In 2026, it could reach $2–3 billion. Whatever your politics, that’s a staggering shift in who has the financial power to shape American elections.

📌REMINDER: 1. Donald Trump violently attacked the country on Jan. 6, 2021, while trying to overthrow the election. 2. He then retired to his dining room to root on the attack for three hours. 3. When it failed, he went on camera, and told the attackers that he "loved them." He's a damn traitor.
