@mikeduncan Simple minds need simple reasons Mike, it shouldn't shock anyone.

FBI agents last week conducted a statewide sweep targeting an Ohio group that promotes voting rights and registration. Federal law enforcement hasn't given any on-the-record explanation of its actions or produced any legal documents justifying them https://t.co/AKJI6fPEeW

A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.

Donald Trump won’t let it open.

Here is why.

The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.

Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.

He called Trump.

Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.

Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.

Canada paid for the entire bridge.

Every dollar. And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.

This is corruption in plain sight.

A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.

Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.

The Players Tribune is an absolutely incredible publication, that allows footballers to speak candidly, share stories and connect with fans in ways they wouldn’t do, so I take issue when some shitty website like this literally rips the whole article and posts it

The US isn't providing any food assistance to Sudan despite 21 million people living on the brink of famine.

🚨EXCLUSIVE >> @FBI agents raided Cleveland office of Ohio voter registration group, in what many consider part of broader Trump administration effort to intimidate and sow doubt about voting integrity in key swing states. Agents fanned out across Ohio, following and questioning canvassers and volunteers.
"Straight up intimidation" said group's board member.

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.

The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.

We are devastated by the sudden loss of Gordon Wood. Known to many as one of the foremost scholars on the American Revolution, Gordon was also a teacher of generations of students and other historians who, like him, help us better understand who we are as a country and a people. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his family, his many friends and all who he touched throughout his remarkable life.

Pritzer should strip the team from the McCaskey family and give every Chicago resident a stake.

[ProPublica @propublica]

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.

He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.

[Aaron Astor @AstorAaron]

This is accurate. Paxton didn't win bc Trump endorsed him. Trump endorsed him bc he knew Paxton was going to win. Even if Trump endorsed Cornyn, Paxton still wins. Sometimes the base leads Trump. After all, Roy Moore won the primary after Trump backed Luther Strange in 2017.

[Jamie Dupree @jamiedupree]

The Justice Department eagerly admits they are erasing press releases about Jan. 6 convicts. Those criminals attacked police and targeted Congress for only one reason that day - because of President Trump's lies about the 2020 election.

[Patrick Ruffini @PatrickRuffini]

If Democrats win all districts up to Trump +9 under the new maps:

Dems 222
GOP 213

Under the old maps

Dems 239
GOP 196

A 17 seat gap. That's the story of redistricting in a nutshell.

Oh boy. In March, as we prepared an article about the political influence of billionaires, @TimSheehyMT preemptively attacked my reporting. Numerous influencers then amplified the senator’s post, including Trump Jr., Riley Gaines, and DC_Draino.

But there's a twist...

The U.S. is effectively checkmated in Iran—and this defeat will carry lasting consequences unlike any America has endured before, Robert Kagan argues. https://t.co/6fUPwsZfRg

In honor of Bobby Cox, here’s almost 20 minutes of him getting ejected.

Legend.

[Chasten Glezman Buttigieg @Chasten]

The same Duffys who threw endless fits on national television when Pete was working from our son's ICU bedside are now bragging about their multi-month, taxpayer-funded family road trip while gas and grocery prices soar for American families because of Trump's war of choice. How much more unfocused, unserious, and out of touch can you be?

[Tim @trouble_man90]

Two Black lawmakers were arrested for their opposition against white state legislators eliminating Black representation in the state of Tennessee.

Absolutely insane things are happening in the year 2026.
