Maybe it’s me, but it seems like the FBI needs to be completely gutted and rebuilt from scratch. Just wholly corrupt with rot from top to bottom.

Journalists aren’t supposed to report “both sides.” They are supposed to report the truth. DHS is not telling the truth. Stop reporting their lies.

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.” Trump administration in 2025: We are building a Qatari Air Force facility in the United States.

I dunno, at this point I’d rather they just say nothing than putting out another useless “strongly worded letter”.

The Epstein list should be made public not because people want to know who is on it, but to give survivors justice. These women were abused, then exploited again as their trauma was used to fuel power and profit. They deserve truth, not silence, and accountability, not spectacle.

Pretty weird how everyone in America openly understands the sitting president is actively covering up his involvement in a massive pedophilia and human trafficking operation, but we're somehow talking about the "threat" posed by nine-year-old trans girls on soccer teams.

The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House. When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases. For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.

Infographic titled “One Court, Two Standards” compares how the Supreme Court used emergency powers to rule on lower-court injunctions against the Biden and Trump administrations. Two panels show:
• Biden Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 21 cases. All 21 cases are represented by red squares, indicating that 0% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS.
• Trump Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 86 cases. 66 green squares and 20 red squares show that 77% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS.

Key takeaway box below reads:
“Using its ‘shadow docket,’ the Supreme Court granted emergency relief to lift 77% of lower-court injunctions against the Trump administration. It lifted 0% of those against the Biden administration.”

The thing to understand is that district court judges have to follow the law and Supreme Court Justices get to just make up the law.

Fear and anger have always been the cornerstones of the Republican Party. Years and years ago I used to read the Weekly World News for laughs, and they had a columnist called Ed Anger, who would just write about what liberal things pissed him off this week. It fuels them.

The formal acceptance of the Qatari plane by the Trump administration will be largely forgotten within a week's time, if not sooner. Legacy media sees zero incentive in reporting on it beyond that time. If anything, we're more likely to see political reporters post pics of themselves on the plane.

Nancy stepped aside when her time came. Joe stepped aside but made the decision too late in the game. But it seems that Schumer is stubbornly going to hang on no matter what, and what the base wants doesn’t seem to matter a whole lot.

When in power, Republicans use every means available--legal and not--to achieve their goals. In contrast, when Democrats are in control, they talk "common ground" and not wanting to violate "norms." This is how democracies die.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

Trump is already defying the courts. He has no more right to defy a district court than the Supreme Court. Essentially saying all lower court rulings are optional for Trump is legally incorrect and irresponsible.
