The Utah Senate President has an 18-year old grandson charged with molesting a child.

Last month, he passed a bill reducing child molestation sentences, only for 18-year olds. Yesterday, he lost his job.

They walk among us, insisting leftists & minorities are the problem.

The Bible Belt is also:

The divorce belt
The teen pregnancy belt
The obesity belt
The murder belt
The poverty belt
The high-school dropout belt
The uneducated belt
The MAGA belt
The prison belt
The disease belt

None of these are a coincidence. They are not simply correlation.

This is cause and effect.

@BlueBoxDave Oh that was a feature of the event, not a bug.

We're supposed to believe Daniel Cormier was hacked but then he regained access to the account two minutes later without any help from Twitter? Riiiiight. Eric Trump is as corrupt as his daddy

From the Texas Tribune:

After Mexican officials confirmed case of screwworm in Nov. 2024, USDA, under Joe Biden, closed southern ports of entry to live cattle imports to prevent spread of screwworm into U.S. Move also strained supply of cattle in Texas....
USDA reversed course in Feb 2025, after Trump took office, announcing opening of ports"

Reminder that Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is sitting on Epstein's financial records showing 4,700+ wire transfers totaling over $1.1 BILLION in and out of his accounts, including payments to women and girls.

The American people deserve full transparency.

"I have a problem with Talarico dating a suborindate".

Firstly, Irma Reyes wasn't a subordinate.

Secondly, Pete Hegseth's second wife was his subordinate, as was his third wife.

@FoxNews That’s not how BOO is spelled🙄

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

@Aaron_Torres You work for a network that had to pay out $787.5 million for lying about an election.

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

To be clear, the UFC arena at the bulldozed White House isn’t just trashy, tacky, disrespectful and inappropriate, it is also an illegal corrupt for-profit scheme, destruction of govt property and another way for a sadistic criminal and his rabid KKK cultists to promote violence.

@ShamsCharania The MSG crew could do the funniest thing. Put Drumpf on the video screen and listen to the boos, then switch it over to Mamdani and listen to the cheers. Back and forth over and over just to hammer home the point.

Trump's Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins: "If we have a big screwworm infestation—which we will not, we're on top of it..."

The screwworm has returned to the US after 60 years after Trump and DOGE eliminated a program to contain the flesh-eating parasite.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

The intense media focus on Graham Platner is understandable. He is an unknown in a crucial Senate race with a lot of baggage. Less understandable is the lack of coverage of Ken Paxton, whose sins are far worse. That it is “old news” is no excuse. Most voters have no clue.
