It's a bit of a bummer that the story today has been "look at this absolute doofus of a senator" and not "Jack Smith once again credibly accuses the president of many serious crimes"

Todd Blanche now says "one-sided news" is a national security threat worth barring the press over. That's not a legal standard. It's a viewpoint test. I didn’t go to law school…and didn’t need to, to know that the First Amendment exists to STOP government from judging which coverage is balanced.

Americans from around the country protested at the Kennedy Center yesterday against the MAGA regime’s latest plan to demolish someone’s sacred memorial, people were even seen forming a human chain around the building. That’s the kind of energy we need going forward.

You would have thought RFK Jr. would have spoken out against the destruction of his uncle’s memorial. But, apparently, he doesn’t use his position to protect his own family—just hurt ours.

As Trump tries to ban CNN from the White House, it would be a massive mistake to cave on the Paramount merger. The last thing we need is another Trump-controlled media conglomerate abusing its power to stomp out competition. This is a dangerous merger. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Update to my pinned report: Trump just had the Solicitor General—another one of his personal lawyers—falsely represent to SCOTUS that the assassination threat the Israelis *faked* on July 8, 2026 was real. He's using this lie to get his DC martial-law military bunker authorized.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General. It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree.
