Trump promised not to “touch” Medicaid.

Now he is cutting it by $1 trillion and taking health care away from patients with cancer, AIDS and other life-threatening diseases to pay for tax breaks to the top 1% and his wealthy campaign contributors.

Unimaginable cruelty.

🚨BREAKING: Right-wing streamer Cam Higby was caught on video walking up to a group of protesters and pepper spraying multiple people, outside the Newark ICE Facility.

Then, as people reacted to being sprayed, an armed man pulled him away, telling him, “It’s not worth it… it’s time to go.”

Last time I checked… walking up to a group of people and spraying them with a chemical irritant is commonly charged as assault or battery.

And then, after spraying the crowd, the video show Higby, and the armed man, running into the ICE facility while agents allowed them inside.

Imagine the outrage if a left-wing activist walked up to a group of conservatives, pepper sprayed them, and then disappeared behind federal gates.

The headlines would never stop.

The law is supposed to apply equally to everyone.

BREAKING: HELL YES! Vietnam veterans hit Trump with a massive lawsuit to stop his hideous and “disrespectful” Triumph Arch from being erected in D.C.

They didn't mince words about that draft-dodging coward...

"We know how authoritarian dictatorships work. There's no rule of law, there's no consent of the governed, and there's monuments for the leaders there," said veteran and retired diplomat Jon Gundersen.

"I think what we're doing is being loyal to the country. And loyalty can be measured in different ways," Gundersen added. He's suing the Trump administration along with veterans Shaun Byrnes and Michael Lemmon. Their lawsuit is joined by the ethics watchdog group Public Citizen.

The arch, which Trump has admitted is being built to honor himself, is slated to go up between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, our country's most hallowed resting place. At over twice the size of the Lincoln Memorial, the 250-foot-tall eye sore would cut off a clear view between the memorial and cemetery — inserting Trump's ego smack dab in the middle of our national soul.

"It's more about the duty I feel towards my colleagues and friends who did not come home to stand up against this project, regardless of who's in charge," said Byrnes. "I think it's just disrespectful to those that I served with who didn't come back, and then, of course, to all those who are lying in Arlington National Cemetery."

He explained that he has always hoped to be buried at Arlington when he dies but if Trump's arch goes up he'll be forced to "reconsider" his options.

The lawsuit argues that not only is Trump's vanity project arch illegal because he failed to obtain congressional approval, but it's also a disastrous design decision because it disrupts the intended sightline between the cemetery, which lies on land seized from Robert E. Lee, and the Lincoln Memorial, which was erected in the wake of the Civil War.

Tellingly, the administration has yet to unveil a price tag for the arch. While Trump previously claimed that it would be fund by private donations (meaning corrupt pay-to-play bribes) he also said the same thing about his ballroom and is now seeking $1 billion to build that.

“Even if you took private donations, is that how we want to build monuments?” said Gundersen. “To the oligarchs who give money for favors?"

More to the point, what "triumph" is Trump celebrating? His Iran War is a world-historic debacle that will almost certainly end with Iran in direct control of the Strait Hormuz, cementing themselves as a preeminent world power. On the domestic front, it has been one defeat after another for the United States. Trump gutted Medicaid, destroyed our education and scientific research systems, and devastated our economy with harebrained tariffs and costly military adventurism overseas.

The only Trump-related triumph will belong to the American people when we finally kick him and his entire party out of power.

Please ❤️ and share if you oppose Trump's arch!

Researchers thought the most dangerous thing in the Arctic was the polar bear until they watched a mother drag her dead cub from the water and mourn beside her for hours. The bear, known to researchers as Nukka, had spent four years raising and protecting her daughter, Sila, before witnesses say the young bear was found lifeless in the freezing water and pulled back to shore by her mother.

For hours, Nukka stayed beside her, nudging her gently and refusing to leave the cub she had cared for since birth. Officials now believe Sila may have been illegally hunted, turning an already brutal year in the wild into something even harder to stomach. Because in that moment, researchers said the scariest thing in the Arctic wasn’t the polar bear fighting to survive. It was the humans who broke the love and peace that was already there.

Officer called out to address concerns over unusual behavior turns into parking classes for a woman in need of help.

In a world where we often see the hardest parts of law enforcement, this bodycam footage from St. Cloud, Florida, serves as a powerful reminder of the impact of human kindness.

​When this officer responded to a call about a "suspicious vehicle" circling a neighborhood, he didn't find a criminal—he found a woman struggling with her nerves. She was practicing parallel parking for her driver's license test later that day, an exam she had previously failed.

​ During the conversation, she bravely admitted she didn't currently have a valid license and was trying to learn on her own because her family had run out of patience helping her.

​Instead of reaching for his ticket book, the officer reached for his coaching skills. For the next several minutes, he gave her a one-on-one lesson, walking her through every turn of the wheel and providing the visual cues she needed to nail the maneuver.

​The Result? She successfully parked the car, but more importantly, she regained her confidence. The officer’s final words weren’t a warning, but a vote of confidence: "It’s all in your head. You’ve got this."

​This is what "Protect and Serve" looks like in action. It’s about recognizing a person in their time of need and choosing grace over a citation.

Really great job by this officer going above and beyond to help someone that had nobody else to turn to.

🇺🇸NEWS: FBI Director Kash Patel used a government Gulfstream V to fly his country singer girlfriend to a George Strait concert.
He watched the show from a luxury suite reported at $35,000 to $50,000.

Then he flew her home on the same FBI jet.
Same week: a “VIP snorkel” at the underwater tomb of 900 sailors and Marines at Pearl Harbor.

The pattern from the same NYT investigation is now public.

Four SWAT agents and two SUVs guarding his girlfriend in Nashville. The detail estimated at $1 million a year. SWAT escorts to a hair appointment.

An FBI official suggested a threat assessment to determine if any of it was justified. Patel berated him.

A New York Times reporter wrote about the SWAT detail. The FBI opened an investigation into the reporter. The DOJ shut it down and called it retaliation.

What is the FBI for when the FBI Director uses it as a personal concierge service and turns it on the people who notice?

🐒💔 For more than 60 years, thousands of monkeys have lived and died behind walls most Americans never even knew existed.

Oregon National Primate Research Center — one of the largest primate research facilities in the United States — is now facing the possibility of being transformed into a sanctuary after decades of controversy surrounding animal welfare violations.

On February 9, 2026, Oregon Health & Science University unanimously voted to begin a 180-day negotiation period with the National Institutes of Health to discuss the future of the facility, which currently houses around 5,000 monkeys and baboons.

Behind words like “biomedical research” lies a reality many people find deeply disturbing.

More than 1,300 primates are used in experiments every year.
More than 30 Animal Welfare Act violations were cited in less than a decade.
And in 2020, two monkeys were accidentally boiled alive inside a cage-washing system because an employee “did not see them.”

This is not a horror movie.
Not a conspiracy theory.
But something that existed for decades under the name of science.

Now, the door to change has finally opened.

But whether it is enough to shut down one of the darkest and most controversial corners of American animal research… or whether everything simply continues as if nothing happened — may depend on the next six months. 🐾

Dozens of empty self-driving Waymo robot cars have been invading neighborhoods in Atlanta, driving around aimlessly and using the residential streets as "idle holding spots."

This is likely the future of Las Vegas as the robotaxi companies scale up...

Thor was relinquished to animal control because his owners were moving. 😩 But 14-year-old Sydney and her dad from Kingsport saw my post and went and picked him up at Greene County Animal Control this morning!! Lucky Thor! 💙👏

This is what Sydney’s dad, Matthew, wrote to me:

I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for sharing the post about Thor the Great Pyrenees. Our Great Pyrenees passed away last December, and we’ve been trying to find another one ever since. We actually had several people send us your post.

I’m happy to say my daughter and I made the trip down this morning, and as soon as they opened, we adopted him. He’s going to a loving home with several other dogs, a cat, and even ducks to watch over and protect.

Thank you again. If you hadn’t shared that post, we would have never seen it.
…

This made my day!!!! 🥰 Thank you, Matthew and Sydney!

Thank YOU for the shares!! The teamwork works! Volunteers for Greene County Animal Control TN you all are awesome!!

The Emmy Awards just made a decision that goes beyond fashion. Real fur is now banned from the red carpet. No exceptions. No loopholes. If someone arrives wearing it, they can be turned away.

This matters because the red carpet does more than create photos. It shapes what people link with beauty, status, and success. For years, fur was sold as luxury—something to admire and copy. But every fur item comes from an animal killed for style.

Mink and foxes are often kept in small cages. They cannot run, swim, or live naturally. Many are killed in painful ways so their fur can be worn for a few hours under bright lights. That reality has been ignored for too long.

Now one of the biggest stages in entertainment is drawing a clear line.

Change happens step by step. A rule like this sends a message to designers, celebrities, and brands: if you want to look current, choose cruelty-free options.

Millions of people watch these events, so the message travels fast. This is not only about one award show. It is about changing what we celebrate and taking cruelty out of what we call glamour. One red carpet at a time, that shift is already happening.

What started as a planned weekend event at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway didn’t stay at the track.

As crowds left sanctioned events, some attempted to take over intersections across the valley — putting drivers, spectators, and the community at risk.

🎥 In this video:
A vehicle takes over an intersection at Tropical Parkway and Celebration Way around 12:30 a.m. on April 26, 2026, as a crowd gathers. Our air unit tracks the suspect vehicle from above… until the car crashes. Officers move in and take the suspects into custody.

This is exactly what our enforcement operation was designed to stop.

Over a three-day, zero-tolerance operation:
▪️ 77 arrests (66 adults, 11 juveniles)
▪️ 59 vehicles towed/impounded
▪️ 10+ attempted takeover locations disrupted
▪️ 19 out-of-state participants identified
▪️ 4 firearms recovered

This was a coordinated effort:
🔹 North Las Vegas Police Department cleared reckless groups in their jurisdiction
🔹 Nevada State Police targeted I-15 corridors, stopping “rolling races” and dangerous high-speed activity

Street takeovers aren’t entertainment — they’re dangerous, illegal, and put lives at risk.

If you choose to participate, expect enforcement.

[The Husky @Mr_Husky1]

In 1934, a wealthy New York socialite did something that baffled the locals in rural Pennsylvania. She walked into a real estate office and leased a mountain just to evict them.

Her name was Rosalie Edge, and she was 57 years old.

At the time, Kittatinny Ridge was known locally as "The Slaughterhouse." Every fall, thousands of hawks, falcons, and eagles migrated along the ridge, riding the air currents south for the winter. But waiting for them were hundreds of men with shotguns and easy targets.

It wasn't hunting for food; it was slaughter for sport. The ground was often carpeted with the rotting bodies of magnificent birds, while many others were left wounded to die slowly in the brush.

The state of Pennsylvania actually encouraged it, even paying a $5 bounty on goshawks. Predators were seen as "vermin" that threatened chickens and game birds, and the general consensus was that they should be wiped out. Even the National Audubon Society refused to intervene, telling Mrs. Edge that protecting hawks simply wasn't a priority.

She was furious. She famously stated, "The time to save a species is while it is still common."

But she didn't just write letters—she took action. She founded the Emergency Conservation Committee, and when established conservation groups wouldn't buy the land to stop the shooting, she did it herself. She secured a lease on 1,400 acres of the ridge and hired a warden, Maurice Broun, to guard it.

When the hunters arrived that season, expecting their usual sport, they found "No Trespassing" signs and a determined woman and her warden blocking the path. The shooting gallery was officially closed.

The hunters were angry. There were threats against her life and promises of violence, but Mrs. Edge stood firm, relying on her legal rights as a private property holder.

She turned a place of death into the world’s first sanctuary for birds of prey. She understood the value of predators, the delicate balance of the ecosystem, and the future of conservation. Her sanctuary, Hawk Mountain, later provided the crucial data that proved the dangers of DDT. Without her stubbornness, we might have lost the bald eagle entirely.

Rosalie Edge proved that a single citizen with a lease and a backbone can change the course of history.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

We poisoned 98% of North America's prairie dogs and black-footed ferrets nearly went extinct.

Burrowing owls, black-footed ferrets, swift foxes, rattlesnakes, tiger salamanders, insects, and dozens of bird species all depend on prairie dog towns.

We did it because ranchers believed prairie dogs competed with cattle for grass. Studies have since shown that prairie dog grazing actually improves forage quality and cattle weight gain.

The grazing-competition story was wrong.

By the time we'd figured that out, prairie dog populations had been reduced from billions to a few percent of their historical range. The USDA still funds lethal control programs on public lands.

They are routinely shot for sport and their cousins, Utah prairie dogs, and Mexican prairie dogs, are endangered.

If you live in a state with prairie dogs, push your state wildlife agency to end recreational shooting and require non-lethal management on public land.

Support groups doing on-the-ground work: the Prairie Dog Coalition, WildEarth Guardians, Defenders of Wildlife.

If you're a landowner, don't let agricultural extension push you toward poison.

We invented the problem by killing them. We can start fixing it by letting them dig.
