Wow! Thank you to the more than 12,000 people who followed me in the last 24 hours. If you’re new here, my name is J.P. Cooney. I served as the Deputy to Special Counsel Jack Smith, and I was a lead prosecutor in both federal criminal prosecutions of President Trump. Then, I was fired by the Trump Administration for doing my job: standing up for the rule of law. Now I’m running for Congress in Virginia’s newly-drawn 7th District.
Miami is the best story in college basketball. They’re everything fans ask for in a team.
They took one transfer. They built this roster on retention and freshmen. They win with talent and experience.
Who cares about the schedule. They are nothing but a positive for the sport.
This week, I learned that I was uninvited to this year’s National Governors Association dinner — a decades-long annual tradition meant to bring governors from both parties together to build bonds and celebrate a shared service to our citizens with the President of the United States. My peers, both Democrats and Republicans, selected me to serve as the Vice Chair of the NGA, another reason why it’s hard not to see this decision as another example of blatant disrespect and a snub to the spirit of bipartisan federal-state partnership.
As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not.
What makes it especially confounding is that just weeks ago I was at the White House with a bipartisan group of governors, working with the administration on reforms to lower energy costs and strengthen grid reliability. We proved in that moment what’s possible when we stay focused on outcomes over politics.
As Governor of Maryland and Vice Chair of the NGA, my approach will never change: I’m ready to work with the administration anywhere we can deliver results. Yet, I promised the people of my state I will work with anybody but will bow down to nobody. And I guess the President doesn’t like that.
I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court by a Republican Party running scared. If they want answers, let’s stop the games & do this the right way: in a public hearing, where the American people can see for themselves what this is really about.
I’m Alex Vindman and I’m running for the U.S. Senate. Chaos, corruption and sky-rocketing costs are crushing ordinary people, while the billionaires and career politicians profit.
I stepped up when my country needed a soldier, I reported corruption at the highest levels of government, and now I’m stepping up again to fight for Floridians.

🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents are now hitting unaccompanied minors with their vehicles, detaining and disappearing them, even after being shown a U.S. passport.
Yesterday, agents rear-ended a car being driven by a 16-year-old, with her 15-year-old brother in the passenger seat.
Instead of calling a guardian, agents photographed the 15-year-old… and then took him.
The 16-year-old showed agents her U.S. passport…. But, that did not matter, they still handcuffed her and threw her into their unmarked car.
Both minors.
Both unaccompanied.
Detaining children, ignoring proof of citizenship, and hauling minors away, after rear ending the car they were driving, is not immigration enforcement.
That is child trafficking.
And it’s happening in broad daylight by the Trump administration.
Share this.
Document everything.
Demand accountability.
Because if federal agents can do this to kids with a passport, no one is safe.
Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone was tased on January 6th until he went into cardiac arrest and his heart stopped. Donald Trump pardoned his assaulters and called them “patriots.”
