🚨BOMBSHELL: Senator Mark Warner says Pete Hegseth’s statements about Iran constitute an IMPEACHABLE offense:

While Hegseth repeatedly LIED to Americans that Iran’s military capabilities had been destroyed, Iran still possesses 60% of its missiles, 50% of its launchers, and thousands of drones.

BREAKING: HELL YES! The European Parliament formally demands that Albania END Jared Kushner's corrupt resort development in a massive blow to the President's son-in-law.

This is the nightmare scenario for Ivanka and her crooked husband...

“The Flamingo Protest shows that citizens care about protecting the environment and joining the EU. We will stand with them, supporting their protest against Trump allies who exploit their natural heritage and supporting their journey towards the EU,” said Dutch MEP Tineke Strik of the Greens–European Free Alliance.

Protests have swept Albania over the past month in opposition to the project, which includes a $1.4 billion development on an island and a $4.7 billion deal for a stretch of protected coastline. Because the development endangers wildlife including flamingos, the protests have been nicknamed "The Flamingo Revolution.

The EU previously warned Albania that the ecological disruption could endanger their bid to join the Union, because it runs afoul of their environmental rules. This new move from the European Parliament is an escalation of that campaign to abort the project.

The lawmakers adopted a resolution in their 2025 Commission Report on Albania which calls for an "immediate moratorium" on new permits as well as the termination of all construction in protected regions. While it doesn't specifically mention Kushner, the intent is clear. This is a response to his plutocratic endeavors.

"Europe should pay close attention to what is happening in Albania. There is no better guarantee for the path toward accession to the European Union than a living, conscious people capable of mobilizing against predatory capitalism, in defense of justice, the commons and freedom," said Italian MEP Ilaria Salis.

We stand with the proud, defiant people of Albania. They have every right to defend their beautiful country from the wicked tendrils of Donald Trump's family. Kushner wants to carve out yet another luxury playground for the war criminals, pedophiles, and sex traffickers of the Epstein Class.

He must be stopped.

For the first time in US history the sitting President was not invited to attend the opening of a predecessor's library. Clinton, Bush and Biden all showed up at the Obama library... no Trump.

BREAKING: LIVID IN LAS VEGAS! Furious Nevada voter delivers a blistering, comprehensive takedown of Trump in 90 seconds!

One Dave from Las Vegas absolutely unloaded on Donald Trump during a C-SPAN call-in segment, expertly fusing a savage summary of his presidential misdeeds with psychological commentary before reaching a sad conclusion.

“First of all, I want to say Donald Trump is out of his mind,” he opened with, before jumping right into the Pentagon’s lethal destruction of some 65 small boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific.

“He didn't declare war, and killed those survivors, that is murder.”

Turning to immigration, his voice rose as he noted that “when he killed those people in Minnesota – had his goon squad go in and murder those people – over a misdemeanor.”

“And all he does is fraud,” he added, before turning to the Epstein files and his incarcerated acolyte Ghislaine Maxwell.

“He's protecting the biggest child rapist there has ever been, putting her in a cozy place. This guy is out of his mind.”

Dave pivoted to January 6 to make a blunt assessment: “He's not a president. He tried to overthrow the government. He goes against the Constitution. He's getting rid of anything that's good. This guy is ruining this country.”

In sum: “Everybody hates him. Everybody knows he's a child molester. They won't even show the pictures of him with those girls. He should have been the first one called up [to testify].

“He is out of his mind. He's got dementia. Thirty-seven psychiatrists say he's got dementia. And the news media doesn't ask him any tough questions.”

Like about Iran. “You think he can commit war crimes and get away with it? He bombed the school, killed 150 girls in Iran, and everybody thinks it's okay. Little kids with a missile, without evidence.”

Finally bringing together Trump’s misdeeds and mindset, he turned to his immigration policy: “And now he's going after everybody who goes by the law. He wants to arrest them because his mind is warped.”

To prove his point, he said Trump is “starving his own people” by cutting SNAP benefits, while the closure of USAID “starved those kids in Africa,” before concluding “If you don't get the Republicans out of it, democracy is gone. Everything that's good is gone.”

All this in a little more than 90 seconds.

Dave is an American Everyman, who neatly encapsulated the same rage that so many of us feel as Trump’s second term continues to spiral and reach new lows of comic incompetence and abject cruelty.

The frustration is boiling over. People are watching the country get damaged daily by chaos, cruelty, and incompetence – and they’re not staying silent anymore.

We’re all Dave.

BREAKING: "They were incredibly close friends!" Republican Ana Navarro obliterates J.D. Vance for lying about Trump and Epstein during a disastrous appearance on The View.

He should never have stepped into the lionesses' den...

"I disagree with is the idea that the White House wasn't committed to full transparency. We have to remember, like, I was inside the room when some of these decisions were made," Vance said on the show.

It's worth noting that we only know that Vance spearheaded Trump's PR crisis response team through the Epstein scandal because The New York Times revealed that he and other top officials met inside the Situation Room to discuss the problem. Vance is now pretending like he was the one who told us that. The truth is that he never wanted that information disseminated and now he's trying to own it.

"The Epstein Files Transparency Act, the one that the President signed, the one that led to all these files that we're seeing, the emails..." Vance continued. "By the way, again, sorry Joy, I do have to defend my boss. I know you guys don't always appreciate this, but, you know, one of the things you see in the Epstein emails is that Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump, and that Donald Trump literally reported Jeffrey Epstein to the police. That's one of the things that came out of these files."

"They were best friends for about a decade!" said Navarro. "And remember, he signed that Transparency Act under duress when some Republican women, Congresswomen like Lauren Boebert, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, did not give in to his pressure of not signing."

"He brought Lauren Boebert into the Situation Room to pressure her into caving on not voting for that bill!" she added.

"That's all true," chimed in Sunny Hostin.

And it is all true. Trump never wanted to release the Epstein files but pressure built within his party because of the public outcry until he was ultimately forced to sign it. He knew that vetoing the bill would have been tantamount to an outright confession of pedophilia.

Furthermore, Vance's assertion that the emails prove that Epstein hated Trump is a gross mischaracterization of what the files show. Yes, it appears that the two men eventually had a falling out. But the primary takeaway is that they were very close friends who appear to have sexually preyed on little girls together for years and years. Just because their vile relationship disintegrated in the end does not wash away Trump's culpability.

"Let me respond to that. So, number one is, yes, Donald Trump, he said this," said Vance. "He knew Jeffrey Epstein back in the 1980s. He also threw Jeffrey Epstein out of his club when he found out it was a creep, and reported him to the police. That's something that the media often misses when it reports this story. They tell the fact that they knew each other in the 80s, which the President himself admits. They ignore the fact that he narced on him to the police and led ultimately to Jeffrey Epstein's downfall."

The reason that the media "misses" that story is because it's not true. According to Trump himself, he barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago due to a disagreement over Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's victims. It's not that Trump was repulsed by his pedophile pal's behavior, it's that he was territorial.

"I don't know that it led to his downfall," interjected Hostin.

"Well, it's one of the things that led to law enforcement investigation, but on the point that you made—" Vance tried to continue.

"And it was allegedly over a real estate deal that they got into a fight over," said Navarro, referencing another credible explanation that has been proposed.

"But the email says, the email says actually—" tried Vance.

"And they didn't just know each other," said Navarro, giving Vance a withering look. "Let's just be truthful and transparent here. They didn't just know each other."

"He's in a lot of pictures," said Joy Behar.

"They were incredibly close friends," said Navarro.

"He reported him to the police. That's what I'm saying. That is objective— That is objectively true. But Ana made— But Ana— Ana—" stuttered Vance. "Ana made another point that I think— I— I— Would be, if I may, because Anna made a very important point."

"This question about did Donald Trump release these files only under duress from Republicans," said Vance. "And Ana, you know the Republican Party probably better than I do. The idea that Donald Trump runs around afraid of Republican congressmen as opposed to the other way around is kind of crazy."

"It was bipartisan though. It was Republicans and Democrats," said Hostin.

"This— Well— Well— But— But— But because the Republicans control the House and the Senate, particularly the Senate, you need the Republican sign-off. What the President did is... Look, I will— I will say this," said Vance. "Again, I was in there in the meetings. He was very frustrated that the Democrats were making this about him when he's like, look, I threw the guy out of my club. I am the guy who reported him to the police or one of the people who reported to the police."

"The President was frustrated about that. Absolutely. But he eventually came to say, you know what? Let's just get everything out there," claimed Vance. "Let's have this out in the public. And he actually called the senators. I was there. He called the senators and said, you know what? Pass this bill. I'll sign it. And that was it."

In reality, Trump did everything in his power to block the passage of the bill. He signed it in the end because he calculated that a veto would do more damage to him than releasing an improperly redacted, piecemeal version of the files.

Vance's eagerness to defend his sex predator boss is morally repugnant and utterly disqualifying. This man is so desperate to become President one day that he's willing to stand arm-in-arm with a man who has been accused of sexually abusing children. There is no washing away a stench like this.

🚨DONALD TRUMP FELL ASLEEP AT HIS OWN UFC SPECTACLE

His White House UFC event was an enormous logistical headache and likely cost taxpayers millions.

It’s worse than you think:

⚫️ Secret Service deployment

⚫️ Presidential motorcade operations

⚫️ Air support and aviation assets

⚫️ Military and federal security personnel

⚫️ Temporary infrastructure and staging

⚫️ Barricades, fencing, checkpoints

⚫️ Additional law enforcement staffing

⚫️ Traffic control and road closures

⚫️ Emergency medical and response teams

⚫️ Communications and security equipment

⚫️ Event setup and cleanup

⚫️ Weather contingency operations

⚫️ Coordination across multiple federal agencies

⚫️ Disruptions to White House operations

⚫️ Security sweeps and venue preparation

All so Donald Trump could throw himself a massive UFC-themed birthday spectacle and reportedly fall asleep.

What a tremendous waste.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: Sen. Warnock calls for Supreme Court reform, telling NBC that “All options are on the table” – including adding seats!

In a powerful interview on Meet the Press, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) made it crystal clear that Democrats are done playing defense against a corrupted Supreme Court.

Asked by host Kristin Welker if he would support adding seats to the Court, Warnock answered affirmatively:

“I think all options have to be on the table… We definitely need reform to this court. We need a code of ethics.”

Warnock laid the blame for the court’s descent squarely on Donald Trump and his acolytes for igniting a “terrible race to the bottom” through extreme gerrymandering and weaponizing the courts to make decisions favorable to the MAGA agenda to sometimes devastating effect on our fundamental freedoms.

In calling out the current Court for pouring “fuel on that fire” and undermining its own credibility, Warnock is making a significant shift in tone.

Expanding the Court, imposing term limits, and enforcing a real code of ethics have all become legitimate responses to the right-wing capture of the judiciary, and the influential Warnock is on board with it.

Since he managed to bully Congress into confirming his ideological right-wing nominees, Trump has considered the Supreme Court to be in his pocket, fuming with righteous indignation if they dare oppose him. Not because they are right or wrong, but because they didn’t acquiesce to his will after he took the trouble to nominate them.

But Warnock just made it clear: in his mind the era of one-sided rules must end, by whatever legal means necessary.

The Reverend Dr. Warnock speaks for all sensible Americans when he says he is tired of a Supreme Court that protects billionaires, strips away rights, and acts as an unelected super-legislature.

Fair is fair. If Republicans keep abusing the hallowed institution, Democrats have every right to fix it.

And all options should indeed be on the table.
