🚨 BREAKING: Texas Rep. Gina Hinojosa has filed an official request to inspect unredacted communications between Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and Elon Musk after roughly 1,400 pages released last year were heavily redacted as “intimate and embarrassing.”

Trump: “Hold it. Hold it. Fake news. She’s fake news. The worst.” This is how a weak and insecure man responds when asked simple questions by a smart woman. The men standing around her saying nothing are the same men that would just look away if they saw another man beating on a woman.

Jack Smith looked straight at the Senate and said what Trump’s enablers have spent years trying to bury: There was proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump committed crimes against this country. Smith said he’d prosecute him again today. Because the evidence doesn’t give a damn about your red hat

The funniest thing about the Schmitt rake stomp is that if it'd been a Dem we'd have a week of think pieces about how Dems lack of hoops literacy was alienating them from real America.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

SCROTUS allowed it with no numbers and no signatures, though all three liberals are against this. This allows Trump & DHS to send immigrants to countries with human rights abuses. Maybe to their deaths. America should be ashamed. We may never recover from this! www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/u...

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.
