Graham Platner: “We are going to win. When we have won, when we have beaten back fascism, when we’ve saved democracy, when we’ve saved freedom, this time it needs to be a different kind of freedom. Not merely a romantic freedom of individual rights, but a freedom that is real, that is material. The freedom to have time, to have energy, to not be defined by fear and anxiety. The freedom to live lives not defined not by struggle and scraping by, but of dignity and fulfillment”
At 4am, Senate Republicans gave the greenlight for the IRS to drop ALL investigations into Trump and his family.
That means if Trump is evading taxes, we’ll never know.
I have a bill to make this illegal. And I won’t stop fighting to get it done.
MAINE VOTERS: “Would I date him? No, but we’re not looking for perfection… we have a Senate controlled by Republicans who are not holding this president in check, and that is a higher priority.”
In the 1990s, Canadian ecologist Suzanne Simard made a groundbreaking discovery that challenged everything we thought we knew about how forests work. While studying managed forests in British Columbia, she noticed something puzzling: when birch trees were removed to promote the growth of valuable Douglas firs, the firs did not flourish as expected, they actually struggled and grew more slowly.
Determined to understand why, Simard traced the movement of nutrients using radioactive carbon isotopes. What she found was astonishing. Trees were actively sharing resources through vast underground fungal networks known as mycorrhizae. These delicate, thread-like fungi connect the roots of different trees across the forest floor, forming a complex web that allows the exchange of carbon, water, nutrients, and even chemical signals, sometimes between entirely different species.
She discovered that older, larger trees often serve as central "hubs" or "mother trees," supporting younger saplings by redistributing vital resources and helping the entire ecosystem remain resilient. When these key trees are removed, the underground network weakens, and the health of the remaining forest declines.
Simard’s research overturned the traditional Darwinian view of forests as battlegrounds of ruthless competition. Instead, she revealed a far more sophisticated reality: forests operate as highly cooperative systems where trees communicate, support one another, and even warn neighboring trees about threats like drought, disease, or insect attacks.
What appears to the human eye as a silent, still forest is, in truth, a vibrant, interconnected living network, built not on isolation and rivalry, but on deep connection and mutual aid.
BREAKING: Hunter Biden enrages MAGA by penning a brilliant list of things that “most Americans agree on” and it’s as hilarious as it is brutal for Trump.
How many of these do YOU agree with?
Just wait till you get to the Epstein jab…
“Groceries cost too much,” the former President’s son wrote on X.
“Tariffs suck and make no sense.”
“Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.”
“The debt is a mess.”
“The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.”
“Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.”
“Americans are exhausted.”
“AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.”
“Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.”
“Canadians are super fucking cool.”
“Mexicans are chill.”
“Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.”
“Good neighbors are a blessing.”
“Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.”
“We all question, are we alone in the universe?”
We all fuck up along the way.
“Epstein didn’t hang himself.”
“The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.”
“The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!”
“Things we’re told to fight about: Me. Laptop. Vaccines. Transgenders in sports. Pronouns.”
“That’s the joke,” he concluded.
Hunter has been increasingly active on social media lately. He went viral for dismantling a MAGA cultist who absurdly accused his father of “faking” his bone cancer. In another witty exchange, he batted down a Republican’s attempt to shame him for his past drug abuse, causing her to turn empathetic and wish him well. He’s so good at this some have begun half-jokingly referring to him as the “MAGA whisperer.”
What would you add to Hunter’s list?
Please ���️ and share if you’re a fan if Hunter!
I'm a grizzly.
They just decided one acre is all I need.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just redefined "secure habitat" for grizzly bears in Montana.
The science said 2,500 acres minimum.
They changed it to one.
No public input. No new science. Just a rewrite.
And it wasn't random. The change conveniently cleared the way for a 17,700-acre logging project cutting straight through the corridor grizzlies use to travel between two of their last strongholds in North America.
A former Forest Service wildlife biologist said it plainly: "A one-acre island of forest surrounded by roads isn't secure habitat. It's a death trap."
Courts already rejected this same playbook when agencies tried 10-acre patches near Yellowstone. They lost. Then they came back with one acre.
Who's going to tell the grizzly it only gets one acre?

BREAKING: O.M.G. The woman accusing Graham Platner of "intimidation" has been EXPOSED as a top Republican operative who has worked with his opponent, Susan Collins!
This is EXACTLY what they did to Al Franken…
On Thursday evening, the New York Times ran a story in which a woman, Lindsey Fifield, accused Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner of grabbing her by the arm, twisting her arm, and of standing in a doorway menacingly blocking her exit.
The New York Times could not corroborate any of her accusations, but ran the story anyway, along with allegations from a few other women that Graham Platner could be unsettling, had dark thoughts, and generally had spooky vibes as a boyfriend.
They also spoke to several other women who said he was a lovely boyfriend and they happily supported his candidacy.
It’s now coming out that Lindsey Fifeld is a lifelong GOP operative who has worked with Platner’s Republican opponent, Susan Collins, and successfully persuaded her to vote in favor of Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s Supreme Court justice who is an ACTUAL rapist.
In one message to a friend, Fifeld wrote “I will personally go campaign for Collins.”
Reporter Ryan Grim at Drop Site News reports that “In 2014, Fifield began work as digital director for American Action Network, a Republican Super PAC that oversees House races. The next year she became social media manager for the Heritage Foundation, where she stayed for the next seven years.”
“In 2022, she joined the Super PAC backing Nikki Haley for president, switching to the official campaign side the next year, and staying until the campaign flamed out. She now lists herself as a visiting fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum, a prominent dark money group that is best known for helping usher Brett Kavanaugh on to the Supreme Court and giving Susan Collins the talking points she needed to make her decisive speech in his favor.“
“The NYT breezed past all this, saying she was ‘a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns.’”
“Meanwhile, the timeline Fifield gives of their relationship is confusing, because during at least some of that time she was actually dating a different person, her longterm boyfriend who became her fiancee before she called off the wedding in 2018. We all know this because she and [Zionist extremist Bethany] Mandel did a podcast episode on it that went mega-viral in Republican circles back then.”
It should be noted as well that Lindsey Fifeld has a long history of making up baseless lies about Palestinians targeted by the Trump administration like Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk.
Folks, pardon our French, but this is *bullshit.*
This is an abhorrent attempt to weaponize domestic violence and the mental trauma of dealing with PTSD in order to sink a leftist candidate who staunchly opposes the Israeli genocide of Gaza.
Oh, and if that wasn't enough, the reporter on this article is Katie Gluek, an ardent Zionist whose parents are Israeli settler-occupiers in the West Bank.
Platner’s campaign responded with “Let’s be very clear: This is a lifelong G.O.P. operative who’s dedicated her career to electing Republicans.”
What else is there to say?
Graham Platner is obviously a very imperfect person, but we are not electing him to be our boyfriend. He has been very open about his struggles with PTSD; he saw four of his squadmates killed in an IED explosion in Iraq.
This smear campaign, based on uncorroborated allegations by a woman who literally said she would work for his opponent, is part of his punishment for being a progressive who isn’t afraid to stand against Israel, to stand against the health insurance behemoths, and to demand a better life for the American people.
They managed to sink Al Franken like this. They will NOT succeed again!
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
🚨 🔥 MAJOR BREAKING: Trump Just Pardoned A Former Congressman Convicted Of Insider Trading.
Stephen Buyer, a former Republican congressman from Indiana, was convicted in 2023 for trading stocks using nonpublic information.
Now he’s receiving a presidential pardon.
That’s going to reignite one of Washington’s oldest debates.
If members of Congress shouldn’t be allowed to trade stocks while making policy…
what message does it send when someone convicted of insider trading gets a second chance from the White House?
Jake Lang, who beat Capitol police officers with a baseball bat on January 6, spent four years in federal prison on an 11-count indictment, got pardoned by Trump on day one, and was recently running for U.S. Senate in Florida, was arrested Tuesday night in Frisco, Texas on a criminal trespass warrant.
He hopped a fence into a high school stadium to film what he claimed was dried blood from a stabbing, then posted it online for clout.
Since his pardon he has also been charged with felony property damage in Minnesota for destroying an ice sculpture, charged with threatening a Capitol police officer, showed up outside a mosque in Plano holding a severed pig’s head, threw chocolate coins outside AIPAC while doing a Nazi salute, and dragged a goat on a leash to a protest against a Muslim mayoral candidate. For real though!
Trump pardoned this bastard. He is currently in the Collin County jail complaining about his mattress.
The pardon was 136 days ago. VIA~~Eric Blackerby
Hayes: Yesterday the senate majority basically staged a sham vote intentionally, like a show, like a little play where she and a couple of other Republicans also up for reelection, got to cast meaningless votes against Donald Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionists.
Everyone knew that it was doomed to fail from the beginning. They weren't actually going to vote it down, because Republicans don't actually want to cross the leader of their party.
So what they do is Collins gets to pretend to be independent when it doesn’t actually matter. But this is the other part of this. When everything is on the line, well, then Collins is a reliable vote. She's demonstrated she was always stand with Trump…
Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is taking donor money and depositing it into a private JPMorgan account – and we have no transparency about who is overseeing these funds and how they will be used.
Secretary Rubio refused to answer my question when I asked him if Donald Trump or any family member could access this money. I am deeply concerned by what the Administration plans to do with these funds, which are meant to support the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and help Palestinian civilians.

This dude took over the parking spot that the local PD likes to radar from and the officers can't handle it. It's like a child that got their favorite toy taken away.
We are in Henrico County for this one. You have a citizen journalist that is aware of the favorite parking spot that the local PD loves to post up at to conduct speed traps.
The journalist took over the parking spot minutes before the officer and let's just say, the officers was lost on what to do about it.
The attempt by the officer he pulled up behind the parked vehicle of the journalists. Officer James approached the driver’s side window, standard protocol and tried to turn things into a welfare check, and requested that the driver roll down the glass.
Right from the jump, the driver established his boundary: he flatly refused to roll down the window, asserting through the glass that he could hear the officer perfectly fine.
Recognizing a non-standard situation, Officer James immediately called for backup ("Code 2") while attempting fish for something to escalate the situation and turn this into a traffic stop. He began by asking if the journalist was broken down, experiencing a medical emergency, or in need of assistance.
What followed was a clinic on how to handle the police through awkward silence. Instead of speaking, the driver responded to the officer's safety inquiries exclusively with thumbs-up gestures through the closed window.
The interaction hit a snag when Officer James questioned why the journalist was stopped in a turn lane. While the driver refused to answer out loud to the officer, he later pointed his camera to show the layout of the road. The journalist showed he wasn't blocking a turn lane at all; he was parked on an asphalt cutout next to the turn lane—an area that is frequently used for overflow parking.
Realizing he was not getting anywhere, the officer went back to his car for one last ditch effort by running the plates of the journalist. Once things came back clean the officer had to do that walk of shame and left.
The encounter didn't end there, though. A second officer, Officer Jennings, arrived shortly after also looking to park in the spot to conduct a speed trap.
Interestingly, the driver shifted strategies for the second interaction. Rather than sticking to the silent thumbs-up routine, the driver chose to verbally engage with Officer Jennings through the glass.
He explicitly confirmed that he was completely fine, did not require any emergency help, and was simply sitting there. Once again another walk of shame when the officer came up empty handed from his fishing exercise.
It's amusing to see these officers have to basically pack up their toys and go home because they could not use their favorite radar spot.
What Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche have done is criminal. They have broken the law.

Applebaum: Trump is using a specific language from the 1930s: “enemies within,” “enemies of the people,” migrants and political opponents as “vermin,” migrants “poisoning the blood” of Americans.
That language comes from Hitler, Stalin and the Stasi. 1/
Platner clearly no saint, but seems noteworthy his accuser is a Republican operative who defended Kavanaugh, attacked Christine Blasey Ford, and falsely accused Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk of doing things they didn’t, in defense of Israel. (which Platner is critical of)
This is Riley T Carter and he was a MAGA Congressman in WA. He was a proponent on making kids safe again until he was arrested and convicted of incest,child rape and the molestation of a 11 year old family member.He was sentenced to 46 years in prison.
