If you vote for Ken Paxton then you’re saying that the plea deal given to Adam Dean Hoffman a former Waco attorney who was charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child age 12 was okay since he only received two misdemeanors for the whole time period of abuse & no sex registry.

Scientists at Trump’s EPA say they are being told to make chemical risks “disappear on paper.” Not to study or manage them, but to make them vanish.

When a safety test on a household chemical shows danger, supervisors reportedly ask to keep shrinking the scenario until the poison looks safe.

They have reassigned senior scientists to paperwork and handed life-and-death risk assessments to staff with less experience. They have installed former chemical industry lobbyists to run the very offices that are supposed to regulate the chemical industry.

A gift to industry, paid for with your family’s health.

They are even throwing out research on how certain chemicals hit certain communities harder, calling decades of established science “DEI.”

You can make risk disappear on paper.

The cancer does not disappear.

The birth defects do not disappear.

The infertility does not disappear.

The kids drinking the water and getting sick do not disappear.

The EPA exists to protect people, not to protect the profit margins of the people poisoning them.

Every American deserves to know what is happening. #TrumpMakesUsSick

Pulte referred Lisa Cook and Letitia James for criminal prosecution over mortgage document errors. Scott Bessent committed the same errors. No referral. No investigation. Bessent is in the cabinet.

Same paperwork. Three people. Three completely different outcomes based entirely on who they are to Donald Trump.

That is the man now running 18 intelligence agencies. The willingness to weaponize regulatory authority selectively wasn't a disqualification. It was the job interview.

The church teaches that once an abuser is forgiven, anyone who speaks about the wrongdoing can be accused of having an unforgiving heart. The burden of sin would shift from the person who committed the act to the person who won’t let the matter rest.

President Trump just repeated his lie that China only builds windmills to export them to "stupid people from the United States, the suckers."

Reality: China has installed by far the most wind turbines of any country and is installing more of them far faster than any other country.

[Common Sense 🇺🇸💙 @commons96055467]

Something is happening to the US that is slow, systematic and deadly. Trump is dismantling our country, and it’s deliberate, calculated and surgical.
1: trump killed NATO partnership, our strongest defense alliance against Russia and China
2: trump’s HHS Secretary is killing our public health infrastructure, creating a more sicker and vulnerable America with communicative diseases
3: over at the pentagon trump’s frat boy Petey is firing our most qualified generals, depleting our best military hardware rapidly, in a stupid war to make our military a third world level armed forces
4: trump’s DOGE deliberately hollowed out our government from essential experts, to zap its functioning capabilities
5: trump killed USAID, and we lost our goodwill around the world and became isolated pariah
6: trump ICE became his brown shirts, killing and abusing Americans to obey
7: trump’s weirdo FBI director is charging everyone and anyone to silence Americans
8: trump DOJ is robbing the treasury to the tune of $1.8 billion dollars, to create an army of bribed foot soldiers to protect their dismantling of the country during midterm elections
9: trump’s interior secretary is dismantling our national parks
10: trump’s economic team of Bassett and lutnick is crashing the economy, creating a population of economically disadvantaged
11: trump’s Epstein files are now officially been shelved to protect trump the destroyer
12: trump let his oligarch enabler Peter Thiel to confiscate all our private data, including social security, tax, health and court and business records
13: finally and most importantly, trump and his family and his oligarch enablers are looting our treasury, and stuffing our tax dollars into their pockets.

Now tell me, you don’t think trump is a foreign agent, disguised as the president of the U.S, installed to destroy the US? Could it be that fuck Putin, the other fuck Elon, the anti Christ fuck Theil, own trump’s ass? Drag this enemy of America out of the White House. That foreign escort “Epstien hooker” Melania too.

More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion, according to a report from a government watchdog group. https://t.co/wEAqxMA7AG

The Revolt Inside 60 Minutes Just Got Worse.

Legendary correspondent Steve Kroft is now accusing CBS leadership of "journalistic interference."

His verdict?

"It was a slap in the face to everybody who has worked there."

Notice the pattern.

Scott Pelley says he was stonewalled.

Sharon Alfonsi says Pelley was fired for asking questions.

Now Steve Kroft says management is interfering with journalism.

At some point, this stops looking like a personnel dispute.

And starts looking like a newsroom rebellion.

NEW: Netanyahu & Republicans are trying to fuse Israeli & US military. Turns out, FDD planted seeds for this.

FDD (who Trump copied Iran talking points from) is staffed by ex-Israeli officials — including a top negotiator for the *current $3.8B* to Israel:https://t.co/t0lJM3FeaW

🚨 BREAKING: Bessent Couldn't Name The Case.

Asked what ongoing litigation prevents him from discussing Trump's audit status, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the matter was tied up in court.

Then Rep. Linda Sánchez asked a simple follow-up:

Which case?

He couldn't name it.

Sánchez pointed out that the only litigation she was aware of involved the $1.8 billion DOJ fund and said that case doesn't address presidential audit immunity.

That's what made the exchange awkward.

The administration says litigation prevents answers.

Congress wants to know which litigation.

[Lovable Liberal and his Old English sheepdog @DougWahl1]

IT'S WORSE THAN YOU THOUGHT

MTN News looked into Jaxson Dart’s Instagram activity. They've found years of engagement with Donald Trump’s content, including sharing promotional videos about mass deportation, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, and attacks on “racial” curriculum in schools.

This guy should not be leading an NFL team!

The USPS rule assigns every mail ballot a unique barcode linked to the voter's name - explicitly to "facilitate law enforcement efforts."

American mail voting has never included a mechanism to trace which ballot belongs to which person. That is not a technical detail. It is the foundational protection against using ballot data to identify and pressure voters.

The Trump-appointed judge told the administration to act so plaintiffs could establish standing. The administration acted immediately. The rule is designed to survive long enough to matter before courts can stop it. Five months before the midterms.

[Cuckturd @CattardSlim]

America has NEVER been less safe.

A Fox News host runs the DOD
A plumber runs DHS
A landscaper runs Domestic Terrorism
A Trump lawyer runs the DOJ
A Maga influencer runs the FBI

And now a trust fund brat with ZERO Intel experience runs the DNI 🤬

We're seeing a revolving door between ICE and the private prison industry. The new head of ICE is a former VP at GeoGroup, the company that runs over a dozen detention centers, including Delaney Hall. This is corruption using taxpayer dollars, and we need to stop it.

George Santos called me after my story revealing federal investigations into his suspected market manipulation on Kalshi.

And he said: "This story is going to get you a gun in your face."

Then he lied about it.
