The Senate UNANIMOUSLY passed a bill to fund TSA. And the reason the House did not take it up? Because the last time a Republican Speaker put a bipartisan funding bill on the Floor, he lost his job — and Speaker Johnson is now worried about losing his.

“What makes director Ryan Coogler’s foray into the horror genre different—and, for some critics, problematic—is that the story centers not on a white protagonist, but on two African American brothers over the course of a single day in 1932 Clarksdale, Mississippi.” open.substack.com/pub/thejourn...

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Ellison: I’ve been hearing a lot about paying rappers/influencers, offering them pardons, and not disclosing that they’re being compensated. They don’t even need to say, “Vote for Trump.” What they can say is, “None of these elections really matter anyway.” That kind of talk can swing an election.

Even three-time Trump voters are breaking down in public apologies and admitting they were “sucked into the stupidity,” the emperor’s clothes are gone. The cult is cracking. If this raw regret from a former diehard seems like light at the end of a tunnel, like and share to show the tide is turning.
