This attack on Gov. Newsom represents a dangerous escalation by Trump.
The President frequently calls for the jailing of his perceived enemies, but his playbook of weaponizing the Department of Justice as a personal attack dog is another level of corruption.
This must stop.
Jalen Brunson’s mom, Sandra, missed her connecting flight, had to fly commercial, and drove 1.5 hours from Austin to San Antonio just to make it to Game 5 on time.
She refused to take the team’s private charter so she could attend a charity event for kids in Harlem.
A mother’s dedication.

and she has no idea what actually happened
Obama did not “give” Iran $1.8 billion in foreign aid. The real figure was $1.7 billion, and it came from a decades-old legal settlement over Iranian money that had been sitting in a U.S. Foreign Military Sales trust fund since before the 1979 revolution: $400 million was Iran’s original deposit, and about $1.3 billion was negotiated interest to settle the case at the Iran–U.S. Claims Tribunal
Trump’s administration has barred the IRS from even looking at his past returns.
Teachers, nurses, and firefighters all pay what they owe.
Why does the President of the United States get a special tax deal?
Holy smokes.
Why is Trump holding hands with France's first lady Brigitte Macron in front of her husband?
Did he just need help walking down, or did he think for a minute it's Melania?
Something is terribly off with Trump.
Is it just dementia or more than that?
BREAKING: BRILLIANT! Rep. Becca Balint uses the disgusting UFC attack on Michelle Obama to remind the world that Melania Trump is in the Epstein files!
When they go low, we go for the knockout punch...
"The comment was disgusting, racist, and obviously not true, but this is a great opportunity to remind folks that First Lady Melania Trump was in the Epstein files, which is disgusting and unfortunately very true," Balint wrote on X.
Last night during the tawdry UFC event on the White House lawn, racist fighter Josh Hokit yelled out "Michelle Obama is a man!" It was a familiar white supremacist trope which asserts that Black women are inherently less feminine than white women.
In her tweet about the incident, Balint included screenshots of files in the Epstein trove that implicate our current First Lady.
"Dear G! How are you?" Melania wrote to Epstein's right-hand woman, sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. "Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY.
Have a great time! Love, Melania."
Maxwell responded by calling Melania "sweetpea" and filling her in on her New York plans. The warm, familiar tone of the exchange makes it clear that the two were close friends, which adds fuel to the speculation that Melania was trafficked to Trump by the Epstein organization. She must be forced to testify the moment that Democrats retake control of Congress.
The contrast between Michelle and Melania could not be starker. The former is compassionate, brilliant, and deeply empathetic. The latter is cold, incompetent, and shockingly comfortable hanging out with pedophiles. So comfortable in fact, she married one.
Please ❤️ and share if you love Michelle Obama!
There’s a reason the administration is keeping us all in the dark on what’s in the MOU and it’s because we aren’t going to like it. Even Lindsey Graham knows that.
The tough stuff like the Iranian nuclear program will be negotiated over the next couple of months and who knows how long that can will be kicked down the road. It’s tougher than the JCPOA Trump says?
Consider the hundreds of billions Iran may get as well as the billions they already have in sanctions relief and side deals with Gulf states!
The disgusting remark about Mrs. Obama last night was not an aberration.
For many years, the rightwing has been pushing a deeply racist conspiracy theory that she’s a trans woman, which is, of course, drawn from a dehumanizing and thoroughly absurd-on-its-face trope that Black women can’t be feminine.
This particular slander against Mrs. Obama has been going on for many years, and watching some quarters of conservative media pretend to be offended by the same remark that they’ve enabled in online spaces all this time strikes me as pretty goddamn pathetic and dishonorable.
But it’s not surprising. I would expect nothing different from Trump and his most ardent supporters.
Any woman they don’t like—let alone hate—particularly Black women, aren’t “real women.”
This is what they do. It’s not accidental.
Don’t let them claim otherwise.
Name a professional athlete who after accomplishing something said on live television IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE: MELANIA TRUMP IS A WHORE! AM I RIGHT??
When you find a 1-to-1 example, let me know.
BREAKING:
New from Haberman and Swan:
Secret memos show that the Trump White House debated last year, to a greater degree than previously known, whether to limit a constitutional right — suspending habeas corpus rights for undocumented immigrants to accelerate mass deportation efforts.
BREAKING: THANK YOU! Music legend Sheryl Crow shreds Trump's UFC fight on the White House lawn and the smear of Michelle Obama as "disgraceful" in a scathing takedown.
She put into words EXACTLY what we're all feeling...
"To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency," the singer wrote on her Instagram story.
"Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living," she continued.
"Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people," she went on. "It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them."
"Let's be better, America.”
The "vile and racist comment" in question came from fighter Josh Hokit who yelled out "Michelle Obama is a man!" It was a racist trope, with a long history in America, which asserts that Black women are inherently less feminine than white women. It's designed to dehumanize and humiliate people of color.
Hokit has a history of bigotry. At a previous UFC event, he called WNBA All-Star Brittney Griner, a Black woman, a "man." Clearly, this man feels at home in the MAGA movement because he's surrounded by other white racists.
Trump, predictably, didn't condemn Hokit's remarks. In fact, CNN reported that the President was seen showing a "half-smile” in response to the insult.
The American presidency has hit rock bottom.
Please ❤️ and share to thank Sheryl Crow for speaking out!
Leaked memos reveal that the White House seriously debated suspending Habeas Corpus much more than originally reported.
The suggestion to end the Constitutional right was led by Stephen Miller.
