BREAKING: The Ridglan dogs are being released!!

Nearly 1,000 beagles are being transferred to rescues before finding loving homes.

After decades of abuse, these pups will finally go outside, feel grass, and see the sun.

We celebrate today. And we will keep going until every dog at Ridglan, and in labs across the country, is free! 🐾

Trump canceled most federal cancer research funding,...

... and now demands taxpayers pay for his $400 million ballroom at the White House.

[dominic dyer @domdyer70]

I am not your experiment. I am a dog. A life. A soul. A heart that feels pain. 🐾💔
Stop testing on dogs. Stop treating innocent lives like they don’t matter.
They deserve love, care, and protection — not suffering.
Be their voice. Speak for those who cannot.

Mike Johnson REFUSED to meet with over 60 veterans who came to the Capitol to demand he stop funding Trump's war.

Any elected official who refuses to meet with a group of veterans and has them zip-tied and hauled off instead, does not deserve to serve in office.

We’re “not going to prosecute the predators”??? Nice AG we got here.

NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters today that Pope Leo XIV doesn't understand “something called the just war doctrine.”

Pope Leo is an Augustinian friar who spent twelve years leading Augustine’s religious order.

Augustine invented the doctrine. https://t.co/dMEjVtSx08

Trump has suddenly canceled funding for Catholic charities that support homeless children amid his feud with the Pope.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Trump was warned this would happen. He did it anyway.

Now, over 10,000 Veterans lost their homes. 90,000 more are on track for foreclosure. On top of cutting jobs, slashing benefits and throwing our heroes into an unnecessary war.

The most anti-Veteran President in history.

OMFG 🤬

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

OMG, SHUT DOWN DOGE:

A DOGE official in his 20s testified today that he canceled federal research grants based on personal judgment.

No peer review. No subject matter expertise. No formal process.

Just him. And books he had read.

He flagged a grant studying HIV in prisons during the Reagan and Clinton era — decades of academic research — as “one of the craziest” because it mentioned LGBTQ in the description.

He flagged a grant examining the military service experiences of Black, Native American, female, and immigrant veterans as crazy.

His qualification for making these calls: “A person can have enough judgment from reading books.”

He was then asked if he regretted cutting programs that may have led to people dying.

“No.”

Did DOGE reduce the deficit?

“No.”

A person in their 20s. Reading books. Canceling peer-reviewed academic research. Deciding what knowledge the American government is allowed to fund.

No experience. No regret. No results.

Under oath.

🚨BREAKING:

The "Board of Peace" launches its first war....

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Trump ripped up that deal.

Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.

BREAKING:

51 Iranian children killed, 60 students wounded after joint US-Israel strikes hit girls' school in Iran.

DEAN: “What’s the tariff on bananas?”
LUTNICK: “10%.”

DEAN: “Walmart already raised banana prices by 8%.”

LUTNICK: “Well, if you build in America, there’s no tariff.”

DEAN: “You can’t build bananas in America.”

[The Green Dragon Tavern @greendragonhq]

Jobs added

Biden in 2024: 1,460,000
Trump in 2025: 181,000

An 87% decrease.

Are we great again?

Rep. Stansbury: “The United States government is engaged in an active cover-up of the largest sex trafficking scandal and influence peddling scandal in the history of the United States, and Donald Trump is right at the center of it.”

MASSIVE BREAKING: A witness swore under penalty of perjury that Donald Trump threatened a young girl, telling her she could “disappear like another 12-year-old female,” and then threatened to kill her entire family, according to Epstein-related court records.
This allegation appears in Dataset 9 of Epstein File EFTA01250883.pdf.

This is sworn testimony.

If the witness fabricated this account, they would face multiple years in federal prison for perjury.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

It's embarrassing that every major network is not covering the shocking and terrible revelations about Donald Trump that were released today by the Dept of Justice.

Every show, every producer, every host this should be your focus today. This is NEWS.
