The question of whether to take former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore and lobbyist Michael McClain to trial again comes at a particularly fraught time for U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros. https://t.co/P8xL0bgQGx

Both their parents have been detained since last fall—their dad at Alligator Alcatraz and then a detention center in Georgia, their mom at a federal facility in Arizona.

Now, the Perez kids, all US citizens, have been on their own for months. https://t.co/VqXD9LneYA

WATCH: Trump’s personal attorney — now running the Department of Justice — literally RUNS AWAY when asked why Trump called for Gavin Newsom’s arrest and ordered a baseless investigation into him and his family.

Dave Portnoy calls on Trump to denounce the UFC fighter who called Michelle Obama a man at the White House fight:

"That has to be an immediate denounce. ... These guys are lunatics."

As my fellow Democrats in New York’s 17th congressional district head to the polls to choose our nominee from a talented group of candidates, a dark money Republican group is trying to manipulate the outcome of this and other key primaries. https://t.co/E5irkdQ5ij

The Knicks had a Puerto Rican, a Filipino, and a Dominican win an NBA Championship.

That’s the most New York thing ever

Chuck Berry once said his entire career was "one long Sister Rosetta Tharpe impersonation."

As cyclists travel through Illinois retracing the Trail of Tears, we honor their commitment to preserving the history and legacy of the Cherokee people.

Their journey is a powerful act of remembrance. https://t.co/ADspxIs4fD

🚨 Absolute madness in the US right now as the Uruguay national team gets pulled to the side of the road and treated like straight-up suspects.

​They literally just landed for the World Cup and security is already ripping their luggage open on the tarmac with sniffer dogs everywhere

​Qatar and Russia hosted without this level of paranoia but the "land of the free" is handing out pure humiliation to Global South athletes before a single match is even played, the double standards are screaming.

NEW: The Supreme Court will consider whether there are constitutional limits to mandatory detention — without bond — for some ICE detainees with criminal records.

President Trump's investment accounts traded between $212 million and $695 million in stocks and other securities over the first three months of the year, an unprecedented sum for a sitting president. Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Netflix, Oracle and AMD were among the companies that appeared most frequently in the portfolio.

Faster than blood on the mat, the UFC event went from tacky to racist.

That said, the insult to former First Lady Michelle Obama is neither a blemish on her sterling character nor a comma on her brilliant resume. Shameful.

The US emergency oil reserve has fallen to its lowest level in 43 years.

This is the lowest it's been since 1983 when the reserve was still being filled.

Chicago is on pace to collect $49.2 million during the first year of Mayor Brandon Johnson’s groundbreaking tax on social media companies — nearly 60% above the city’s original estimate — raising the stakes for a court challenge by Big Tech. https://t.co/juNk10NFLQ

Kerry Kennedy says her brother, RFK Jr., once grabbed a snake while holding his infant son, stuffed it into a bag, then put a vole in the bag in front of children, causing them to scream, before releasing the snake into a swimming pool full of children.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Holy smokes.

Why is Trump holding hands with France's first lady Brigitte Macron in front of her husband?

Did he just need help walking down, or did he think for a minute it's Melania?

Something is terribly off with Trump.

Is it just dementia or more than that?
