TAPPER: “Iran says the Strait is closed…”
TRUMP: “Don’t talk about it.”
@jaketapper: “Ok.”
Journalism! This is tough to watch.
But hey can’t make things awkward at the White House Correspondents Dinner, right?
A Delaware company that didn't exist a month ago is selling gas fifty cents under market at stations partly owned by Blue Owl, a company Trump holds over five million dollars in. Nobody will say who's covering the loss. Ask for the paperwork before you call it patriotism.
Lindsey Graham on Trump:
“He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. He doesn’t represent my party. He doesn’t represent the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for”

Me again.
I have spent hundreds of hours reading the Epstein files.
They are a class indictment.
They show powerful people treating survivors as disposable, regular people as beneath them, and accountability as something meant for everyone else—over decades.
This should be a universal reckoning. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The FBI still has 40 terabytes of video seized from Jeffrey Epstein’s properties.
The public has never seen it.
Survivors have told me the full release matters because they were drugged and cannot remember the full scope of what was done to them—or who all was there.
The evidence exists.
So why are survivors still being denied the truth?
Ossoff, to conservatives:
"Why are gangs of masked men... [in our cities] shooting people? What happened to 'Don't tread on me?' Are there any principled conservatives left?"
Good question.
Conservatives cannot claim a belief in liberty if they refuse to speak out against ICE.
WOW! James Talarico just packed the Plano Event Center in Collin County—blew the roof off Ken Paxton's own backyard—with 4,000+ people, standing room only, and lines wrapped around the building.
This is the county that launched Paxton's career, the same county where his securities fraud mugshot was taken 15 minutes up the road, and the same county Republicans called "unflippable."
And a Democrat just brought the house down in it.
Talarico looked at that crowd and said what we're all thinking: "They're afraid of this movement. They're afraid of this crowd in Plano, Texas."
Damn right they are.
Paxton's out here calling him "Talafreakco" like a middle school bully while Talarico's selling "I'm a Talafreako" shirts and outraising every Senate campaign in Texas history.
First quarter: $28 million, more than double Beto and Colin Allred combined.
Real men don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't scam their own friends for a quick buck. They don't serve themselves—they serve others. Ken Paxton has escaped accountability for 4,000+ days. But accountability is coming November 3.
Democrats, pay attention. This is what it looks like when you run on corruption, not away from it. This is what it looks like when you fight in their backyard and win the crowd.
The suburbs are shifting. Collin County is shifting. Texas is shifting.
Retrumplican crook politicians don't own you. You own them.
LFG TEXAS!!!
Epstein network survivor Sarah Ransome has described daily rape, starvation, and being recaptured after an escape attempt. This is not chaos. It is complete control.
Release the remaining Epstein files.
Why is the Trump administration blocking the investigation into Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico? Could it be because Trump is implicated in the Epstein files and there are a whole lot of skeletons buried at the ranch? 🤬 https://t.co/EuSSEyVTKk
Forget Scott Jennings.
Senate Leader Thune said the exact same thing.
If McConnell is not alive, awake and well, then the LEADER of the Senate, lied directly to the American people.
.@GregAbbott_TX 's bluster & BS have worn thin. And, Texans have seen it for a while, but now the rest of the country is seeing the damage 30 years of 1-party R control is doing to quality of life for ordinary Texans. https://t.co/ByCe0zGNZA
They interviewed all the three witnesses separately, and they all say the same thing.
They did not ram the car; ICE agents fired at them, and then mocked Mr. Salgado as he lay there dying.
A stomach parasite doesn't care about politics.
It cares about weak safeguards.
As Cyclospora cases surge across multiple states, Taco Bell is pulling fresh ingredients while investigators trace the source.
Food safety isn't optional…it's public health.
Beginning in July 2025, under the Trump administration, the CDC dramatically scaled back FoodNet.
Instead of actively monitoring eight major foodborne pathogens, it now requires surveillance for only two:
Salmonella
Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC)
The six pathogens no longer routinely tracked through FoodNet include:
CYCLOSPORA… (the parasite causing cyclosporiasis) along with the following…
Campylobacter
Listeria
Shigella
Vibrio
Yersinia
Q: You've called for repealing women's right to vote, which is protected by the 19th Amendment. Why?
Pete Hegseth's Pastor, Doug Wilson: Because it's a good idea. A lot of women wouldn't agree. I don't want women voting as individuals
ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent.
There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's @JRogalskiKHOU found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off.
Renee Good all over again.
There’s a lot of scaffolding that’s gone up in front of the White House recently. A few moments ago, workers dropped a semi-transparent covering over the side closest to the West Wing.
ICE shot & killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. A full investigation, starting with public release of videos (if body cams weren’t on, that’s a separate indication. The government story can’t be trusted) is essential. Details here: https://t.co/fqbREhhPU4
