On Saturday, while covering a protest at Delaney Hall for the AP, Angelina Katsanis' camera bag went missing.

Inside was $10K worth of gear, her biz cards and an Airtag -- which soon began to ping from home of a NJ sergeant. He's now facing charges.

Ryan Fournier, 30 yr old co-founder of ‘Students for Trump’ was arrested for domestic violence. After being drunk & passed out, he punched his girlfriend 2-3 times with a closed fist when awakened and made threats including “I will kill everyone here.” https://t.co/eBUH1dRSn3

One document in the Epstein files is titled child sex trafficking co-conspirators. The DOJ released it fully redacted. In February, Rep. Thomas Massie read one of the blacked-out names into the record himself. Les Wexner.

The New World Screwworm, a grave parasitic threat, has just been detected in US cattle for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966.

The parasite's revival comes after Trump and DOGE slashed funding for Screwworm monitoring programs.

BREAKING: Rep. Pat Ryan just got the House Armed Services Committee UNANIMOUSLY to force Pete Hegseth to explain every senior military firing within the next 5 days. Hegseth has fired 24+ officers without cause or explanation. Even Republicans want answers.

This is going to not only put a lot of people on the streets it’s also going to displace poor animals that were trained to help people especially Veterans.

🔥🚨 MAJOR JUST IN: The SAVE America Act Just Failed In The Senate.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

We face a lot of problems in New York and in America. But we can't solve any of them as long as Donald Trump, a criminal, is our president. We need to impeach him, remove him from office, and get to the point where we can actually address issues like taxation, energy, infrastructure, and healthcare. #NY12

Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi.

The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges.

America must secure her release NOW.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Trump’s budget director Russ Vought is the most dangerous person you’ve never heard of.

And he just proposed turning every federal grant into a loyalty test.

His plan would make funding for cancer research, housing, transportation, and public health depend on one thing: whether it “advances the President’s policy priorities.”

Not whether it works.

Not whether Congress authorized it.

Whether it pleases Trump.

This is the appropriations power. It belongs to Congress and to the people.
To my Republican colleagues: where are you?

Congress passed this funding. You voted for it.

Vought is telling you to your faces that your votes do not matter, that he and his enablers will override the law whenever it suits them. Every day you stay silent, you give away the institution you were elected to defend.

Grow a spine.

This is not about left or right.

It is about whether Congress still exists as a coequal branch, or whether we have quietly surrendered the purse to an unelected hack who holds the Constitution in contempt.

History will remember who stood up and who looked away.

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

JUST IN: Benjamin Netanyahu just thanked Congress for Section 224 of the NDAA.

That should probably get your attention.

Foreign leaders don’t usually thank Congress for provisions they don’t consider important.

Section 224 creates a “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” focused on joint weapons development, data sharing, and deeper military coordination. (Al Jazeera)

Go read Section 224.

BREAKING: DOGE DISASTER! Huge outbreak of deadly flesh-eating parasites erupts in Texas cattle thanks to Trump and Elon’s DOGE cuts!

Eradicated from the U.S. for a half-century, a dangerous flesh-eating parasite known as the New World screwworm is back, thanks in part to the Trump administration’s tariff squabbles with Mexico and foreign aid cuts.

Detected in a Texas calf near the Mexican border, the discovery is triggering serious fears for the American cattle industry and already sky-high beef prices.

The parasite’s larvae burrow into living tissue of livestock (and occasionally pets or humans), causing severe damage and potential death if untreated. This marks the first confirmed case in Texas since 1966.

Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins says they’ve deployed teams, started quarantines, and are releasing sterile flies, but the Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller ripped the federal response as too slow and ineffective.

He’s now calling on Trump to “throw every available federal resource” at the problem before it becomes a full-blown disaster.
The outbreak comes at the worst possible time.

The U.S. cattle herd is already at its lowest level in 75 years, and beef prices are through the roof. A wider infestation could cost the industry billions and hammer American families at the grocery store.

Critics point directly at Trump administration policies that likely worsened the situation. First, ongoing trade disputes and tariff threats with Mexico have slowed joint eradication efforts.

Elon Musk's DOGE dismantling of USAID has seriously hampered regional efforts to stop the parasite’s northward march through Central America and Mexico.

And finally, the administration’s dismissive approach to climate change, even as warming temperatures expand the areas where this pest can thrive.

Once again, Trump’s incoherent “America First” agenda of trade wars, aid slashing, and science denial is coming back to bite American agriculture and consumers in the wallet.

MAGA gets its jollies by “owning the libs” by cutting funding for policies that protect the country against the outbreak of disease, but right now a literal flesh-eating parasite is showing up on our southern border and now we are much less prepared to handle it.

If this latest Trump-era disaster has you furious about rising costs and incompetent governance, like and share!
