Someone is leaking the SCOTUS decisions to the WH before they're released to the public.

There's a reason we have the Postmaster General suddenly talking about post marks and how mail might be delayed before it's post marked.

You mark my words. We are going to see mail held up and not post marked, until after the election in key races. They have already worked out how to cheat this decision.

Do not drop your vote in a pickup box. Take it into the post office wait in line and make them post mark it in front of you.

A group of anti-ICE protesters in Texas were sentenced to 30 to 100 years in jail on Tuesday, after federal prosecutors accused them of being an "antifa terror cell."

The activists attended a protest and noise demonstration outside the Prairieland ICE jail in Alvarado, Texas. All nine defendants were found guilty after being tried before a federal judge in Texas.

The maximum sentences prosecutors sought in the case stand in stark contrast to the treatment of January 6 U.S. Capitol insurrectionists, says Sufia Khalid, who represented one of the defendants, Maricela Rueda.

Rueda has been sentenced to 70 years in prison for attending the demonstration, while "the average sentence in the Capitol riots, which had far more serious conduct than the Prairieland Nine defendants, was 26 months."

You’re telling me that firing all the military experts who said this was a bad idea and replacing them with unexperienced sycophants who said it’s a good idea did not, in fact, make this a good idea? Wow.

Loving our state does not mean lying about its history. It means telling the truth — even when the truth is hard.

Today we honored the more than 230 Black boys who died at the House of Reformation and lie in unmarked graves. And today, we announced that we are restoring their burial sites.

Their stories deserve justice and their souls deserve eternal peace.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just kidnapped 2 high school students as they waited for their school bus.

Max is 15. Israel is 18. They were standing outside their home in Mississippi, waiting for the bus like any normal morning, when unmarked cars pulled up, surrounded them, and agents zip-tied them in front of their family and classmates.

These kids were in the U.S. on student visas. Their host family had legal guardianship paperwork signed by a judge…

and ICE agents shrugged and said it “meant nothing.”

That’s where we are… paperwork signed by a judge means nothing, and a bureaucratic technicality is enough to justify armed agents grabbing unaccompanied TEENAGERS off the street.

Because that’s what this comes down to. A school transfer. Somewhere in that process, their visa status changed without them knowing, without their guardians being notified, and without any chance to fix it.

In any system that respects due process, you get a notice, you get time to respond, you get a chance to correct the issue.

This administration skipped all of that and went straight to detention.

And then they separated them.

A 15-year-old child taken away from his legal guardians, moved out of state, and for days, his family didn’t even know where he was.

So, let’s be honest about what this administration is doing…

They are creating a system where your legal status can disappear without warning, where you can be detained before you even know there’s a problem, and where families can be separated instantly with no transparency, and no accountability.

That is a direct erosion of due process, and it should alarm anyone who understands what constitutional protections are supposed to mean.

Two kids went outside to wait for the bus… and this administration decided to kidnap them.

Am I the only one who remembers a year ago when a bunch of teenagers said we had to cut the funding to like Sesame Street and AIDS prevention because we were on the verge of financial collapse? Did we all just imagine that?

Project 2025 is proof of this.

- Higher taxes for single people.
- Removal of head of household status.
- Removal of professional status for degrees primarily women hold.
- Caps on student loans (which women hold more of)
- Ending birth control
- LIMITING contraception access
- Slashing Medicare and Medicaid (so poor and disabled women and poor women with kids have to get married to survive)

It’s why I pay women’s rents and tuitions. The jig BEEN up.

A new report from the University of California shows that the state's decision to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hr didn’t hurt jobs, or raise prices much.

Data from over 2,000 restaurants shows that the $20/hr minimum wage didn’t reduce employment.

And prices only increased 1.5%. So a $4 burger would now be $4.06.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of workers got substantial raises, with the average raise registering at more than 10%.

Armed masked man starts fight at high school ICE protest—turns out to be off duty police sergeant.

His plan was to trick students to "assault me"—then "arrest them all."

Then called his buddies with rifles to "back him up."

Sgt. Dusten Mullen makes $336,000 a year—making him a top 10 earner in the Phoenix Police Department.

He is currently on administrative leave—which means he's reassigned to work from home.

Incident occurred outside Hamilton High School in Chandler, Arizona.
