The optics of tonight’s White House Correspondents' Dinner are beyond embarrassing. We have a president who has actively worked to gut press access, silence dissent, and intimidate journalists. And yet, the industry decided the best response was a red-carpet schmoozefest?

Reality doesn’t care about political talking points. This isn’t because Spain and France forgot to rake the forest. This is climate change, plain and simple, and it’s only going to get worse. 🚨 Nearly 200,000 people are running for their lives from out-of-control wildfires.

FLAG: Jim Jordan has sent a letter to Todd Blanche referring Jack Smith for criminal charges. Jordan claims "sufficient evidence exists for the DOJ to examine" whether Smith intentionally made false statements to Congress as a way to obstruct oversight. No such evidence exists.

Free DC @freedcproject.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
People are shocked when they come to DC now and see groups of fully armed soldiers patrolling our neighborhoods. Trump's occupation of DC has been going on for nearly a year — and he wants it to go on forever. We refuse to allow this to become normalized and continue to call for it to end.

For months, Senate Republicans said Jack Smith "spied" on Congress and broke the law. A judge just unsealed the files. Inside: routine phone records—that a call happened, when, how long. No message content at all. They lied. Here's the proof:

ICE killed two men on their way to work — Lorenzo Salgado in Houston, Johan Durán in Biddeford, Maine. Pope Leo XIV says the church cannot be silent on migrants. Houston's bishop got the memo. Portland's bishop managed two unsigned sentences that never mention ICE — and never posted them.

Pope Leo XIV told Bishop Seitz the church cannot stay quiet about ICE. This month, an archbishop in Texas listened — and the Diocese of Portland didn’t.

Airbus is putting its data beyond America's reach. They will run on Scaleway, a French provider, instead. A US law lets American authorities request data held by US firms, including data stored in servers outside the country. Europe is slowly trying to lean less on American technology.

White House Border Czar Tom Homan has the audacity to blame shooting victims for not complying with an unmarked car. He smugly insists the vehicle had flashing lights—until the anchor reveals the video shows absolutely none. His pathetic defense? "I haven’t seen the video." Absolute garbage logic.
