This is so dumb it hurts!
So critical thinking is not only on pause in this country, but ridiculed!
Oh no, you’re learning too much!! Can’t have you understanding, questioning or even having opinions 🤯🙄😵💫
There is so much diversity in the new recruits sworn in to the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. There are white men, white women, tall white people, short white people, white people with glasses, white people without glasses, white people with blonde hair and white brunettes!.
Mitch McConnell is reportedly brain dead. The journalist who broke his cardiac arrest is at the hospital waiting for them to move his body. Her name is Desirée Townsend.
She's the independent reporter who obtained the EMS scanner audio confirming paramedics performed CPR at McConnell's D.C. home on June 14. NBC and CBS spent a week catching up to her.
Yesterday she tweeted that she's physically at the hospital, that multiple sources have told her the 84-year-old senator has been declared brain dead, and that his Capitol Police detail was still there as of 3:39pm ET.
Laura Loomer posted the same claim, citing a White House source. McConnell's office will not confirm or deny. They insist he is "continuing to improve."
The brain-death claim is not yet verified. Here's what is.
McConnell has been hospitalized for three straight weeks with no public explanation.
His office has never said why he was admitted. His last vote was June 11.
His wife Elaine Chao was photographed in Beijing meeting the Chinese vice president three days after her husband collapsed. She has not come home.
His daughter deactivated her X account.
Neighbors of his D.C. townhouse say no one has come or gone since the ambulance took him away. Not family. Not staff.
Kentucky's Democratic Governor Andy Beshear says McConnell's office is not returning his calls.
Now the politics.
Kentucky Republicans quietly rewrote the state's succession law in 2024. If McConnell's seat opens, Beshear cannot appoint a replacement. A special election gets triggered instead.
And the timing matters. If he can't finish his term after August 3, the special election just rolls into November. Before August 3, the GOP has to hold a standalone race.
They’re watching the calendar.
The election they're trying to avoid is the GOP's nightmare. Thomas Massie, the Republican congressman who has become one of Trump's loudest critics, would be a heavy favorite to run and split the red vote wide open.
Every day they hide McConnell's condition is a day they don't have to hold that race.
Whatever is actually happening in that hospital room, this is the picture from outside it: a senator who has not been seen in three weeks, a wife who left the country, a family that has gone dark, a governor being frozen out, and a party racing the clock on a succession law they wrote themselves.
Townsend is still at the hospital.
Even after Trump political appointees at the Justice Department recommended criminal charges against Abbott Laboratories over contaminated baby formula, top Trump DOJ officials reportedly closed the case.
I’m launching an inquiry today to find out:
What role did Todd Blanche play in dismissing the criminal case?
What role did Kirkland & Ellis, a firm providing “free” legal services to the Trump administration while also representing Abbott, play in killing the case?
And if sick and dying infants aren’t a case Trump's DOJ thinks is worth pursuing – what is?

I can think of no better argument for term limits than millions of people on social media honestly asking whether or not a sitting U.S. Senator is alive.
James Talarico: “We are here at Corruption HQ which is the office of Attorney General Ken Paxton where behind closed doors a sweetheart deal was given to a well-connected lawyer who abused an 8-year-old boy. We don’t need anymore pedophile protectors in our government. I filed a public information request to release the Hoffman Files, Ken Paxton just rejected it”
Today, we celebrate 158 years since the ratification of the 14th Amendment—a promise that every person born on American soil is an American citizen, equal under the law.
Despite the President's failed attempts to erase this constitutional guarantee, the 14th Amendment continues to endure as a fundamental pillar of our Democracy.
Trump's Deranged Authoritarian Coup: Firing the FEC to Annihilate Democracy and Rig the 2026 Midterms
In a psychotic escalation straight out of a dictator's playbook, Donald Trump has now fired the three remaining members of the Federal Election Commission after his disgusting voter suppression bill, the SAVE Act, was rejected.
Drunk on power and protected by a spineless, corrupt Supreme Court that just handed him the keys to the kingdom, Trump has obliterated the last remaining guardrail against total electoral domination. The FEC — the independent agency that polices campaign finance and prevents outright cheating — is now gone. Destroyed. Neutralized.
This madman didn't get the laws he wanted to rig the game, so he simply eliminated the referees entirely.
With the 2026 midterms just 100 days away, Trump has removed every institutional obstacle standing between him and absolute control of the ballot box. This isn't politics anymore. This is a full-blown authoritarian takeover happening in real time.
He's not even pretending. This is a naked, shameless power grab by a deranged tyrant who sees democracy as nothing more than an annoying speed bump on his path to unchecked rule. Congress won't help him cheat? Fine — he'll fire the watchdogs. Courts won’t stop him? Even better.
America is now staring directly into the abyss. A rogue president has just dismantled the final firewall protecting free and fair elections, and the country is sleepwalking toward one of the darkest, most illegitimate election cycles in its history.
This is how democracies die — not with tanks in the streets, but with a smiling autocrat in a suit signing termination letters while the institutions meant to stop him cheer him on or cower in fear.
We are on the precipice — and this dangerous, unhinged madman is shoving us over the edge.
Olympic kayaker Davey Hearn's lawyer:
"Today Davey Hearn pled not guilty, because he is not guilty. If Mr. Hearn can be charged with a felony for touching the Reflecting Pool, every American is at risk, and every American should be alarmed about this prosecution. This indictment reflects the administration's effort to scapegoat and to shift blame for their own failures."
The following 3 House Republicans are currently being accused of assault or sexual harassment:
Cory Mills
Chuck Edwards
Max Miller
Are you going to call for their resignations, @GOP?
CDC “does not yet know the source of the current outbreaks” & “does not know if the clusters of cases are linked and have the same source.” This very poor outbreak investigation is unsurprising, given that CDC is functionally leaderless. Acting director Bhattacharya also runs NIH
A stomach parasite doesn't care about politics.
It cares about weak safeguards.
As Cyclospora cases surge across multiple states, Taco Bell is pulling fresh ingredients while investigators trace the source.
Food safety isn't optional…it's public health.
Beginning in July 2025, under the Trump administration, the CDC dramatically scaled back FoodNet.
Instead of actively monitoring eight major foodborne pathogens, it now requires surveillance for only two:
Salmonella
Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC)
The six pathogens no longer routinely tracked through FoodNet include:
CYCLOSPORA… (the parasite causing cyclosporiasis) along with the following…
Campylobacter
Listeria
Shigella
Vibrio
Yersinia
Notice that reporters aren't asking Trump about the white nationalist who marched at the Capitol on July 4th & they aren't outraged by his latest racist President Obama & Michelle Obama post. This is why 77 million people voted for the son of a klansman. https://t.co/qwlo2onEyy
Graham Platner was accused of sexual assault and nearly every Democrat I know demanded he end his candidacy.
Donald Trump has to pay $5 million to a woman he was found LIABLE of sexually abusing, and not a single Republican is calling for him to end his presidency.
Not one.
