I told you they were coming for the Roadless Rule.

Yesterday, Republicans made their move — and they hid it inside a wildfire bill.

Here's what makes this so enraging:

59 million acres of America's wildest national forests are now on the table.

The 2001 Roadless Rule has protected nearly 60 million acres across 39 states for 25 years. No logging. No road construction. No drilling. No mining.

Built after 1.6 million Americans showed up — at 430 public hearings nationwide — to demand it.

What lives here: bald eagles, elk, black bears, Cerulean warblers, marbled murrelets. Species that need large, intact, unfragmented habitat to survive. For many of them, roadless forests aren't just home — they're the last places left.

What the amendment does: guts the rule. Opens the backcountry to logging and road construction under the cover of "fire prevention."

The administration is pursuing repeal through the executive branch at the same time. And unlike the original rule — they aren't holding a single public hearing.

1.6 million people showed up to protect these forests.
The administration isn't asking anyone this time.

What do you call a wildfire bill that opens forests instead of protecting them?

Yeah. Gotta make sure those minorities aren’t recognized for their contributions to the country.

Bragging that you dropped $250 million dollars worth of bombs on Iran IN ONE NIGHT, while people are starving and struggling to pay bills and can't get health insurance, is NOT the flex you think it is.

IT IS OBSCENE.

Israeli lawyer Ben Marmarelli says Palestinian prisoners he represents beg him not to visit because they're raped each time he is due to meet them.

This is a scene from Al Jazeera's shocking new documentary on Israel's systematic use of rape.

Does anyone else think it’s just a bit odd that Jay Clayton, the prosecutor put in charge of the Epstein investigation, the same one Pam Bondi pointed to over and over in her testimony released just last week, was just nominated by Trump to run the entire intelligence community? https://t.co/w1PrEO92Hj

BREAKING: BRAVO! James Talarico demolishes Ted Cruz for smearing him as not "masculine" enough to win in Texas by listing all of the things that "real men" never do.

And Cruz does every single one of them...

"Ted Cruz basically said he wouldn't use the word 'masculine' to describe you,'" Jen Psaki said to Talarico on MS NOW. "It seems pretty clear what they're trying to do here, at least to me. Not only are they going after you, but they're really trying to attack groups of people you've defended in the past, including trans people and others. What do you make of that?"

In addition to Cruz's pathetic smear, Trump's pet fascist Stephen Miller falsely asserted that Talarico is transgender. Other Republican influencers have implied that he's gay. The strategy here is clear: lean into culture war lies about Talarico rather than contest him on actual policy.

"Yeah, there's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man," Talarico said to Psaki. "And recently on the campaign trail, I told the story of my adoptive dad, the man who gave me his last name, the man who raised me as his own."

"Every Saturday morning, Mark Talarico would mow our lawn, whether it was rain or shine, whether he wanted to or not, he insisted on mowing our lawn himself," he continued. "And then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because our neighbor was elderly, she was a widow. And my dad never talked about it. He just did it."

"Because that's what a man does. A man takes responsibility," he said.

"A man upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors."

"A man does what's right even when no one is watching."

"And here's what real men don't do... They don't lie and cheat their way through life," he went on. "They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. They don't steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. And so I've said before, and I will keep saying, that real men serve others."

"Weak men serve themselves," he added. "And so I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man. And I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is."

Someone should tell Ted Cruz that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Donald Trump called his wife ugly during the 2016 Republican primary, only for Cruz to go on to become one of Trump's staunchest supporters. There is nothing "masculine" about selling out your own family in pursuit of power.

Similarly, Talarico's disgraced opponent Ken Paxton is the furthest thing from a good man. He was impeached as state attorney general by his own party for bribery, and his wife divorced him for adultery. If that's what a "real man" does, then we need a lot fewer "real men" in government.

Please ❤️ and share if you support James Talarico!

Run the list of what DOJ has quietly done in the weeks before a midterm election.

Removed the Federal Prosecution of Election Offenses manual from its website - the manual that has existed through both Republican and Democratic administrations and explicitly states that DOJ should not seize voting materials until after an election is certified.

Canceled election-integrity training sessions for FBI agents and federal prosecutors.

Fired the bulk of its Public Integrity Section attorneys.

No plans to establish an Election Day command center.

Meanwhile the same department is actively seizing ballots, demanding election equipment, interrogating election workers in swing-state counties, and suing 30 states plus Washington D.C. for unredacted voter rolls - based on claims of noncitizen fraud that have been refuted every time they've been tested.

John Keller ran the Public Integrity Section for years. His assessment: "This administration is abandoning decades-old policies and practices designed to minimize federal interference in elections in favor of open season for DOJ political leadership to attack election results whenever they don't like them."

The manual they removed said deterrence comes from public awareness of prosecutions - not from interference with the process itself.

They removed the manual. They kept the interference.

That's not a coincidence. That's a preparation.

It’s absolutely wild that you can be photographed on Epstein Island, evade hearings about your ties to a convicted child predator, and still show your face at an NBA finals game because you're rich and connected.

If that isn’t a broken system, what is?

Richard Burgon just exposed the most glaring double standard in British policy

"Imagine if this weekend in London there was a Russian real estate event selling Ukrainian land. The government would ban it immediately.

Instead, we have an Israeli real estate event openly advertising the illegal sale of land in occupied Palestinian territories. The government recognizes Palestine. Why isn't this banned?"

[Curse @encoresalad]

President Johnson admitted to Newsweek that the attack on the USS Liberty was deliberate but Jews blackmailed him into saying it was an accident.

After this incident, the Jews in Johnson's inner circle spied on Johnson and relayed any new intelligence about the USS Liberty attack to Israel. These Jews were Democrat fundraiser Abe Feinberg. US Ambassador to the UN, Arthur Goldberg, US Lawyer, David Ginsberg, and Supreme Court Justice, Abe Fortas. These were Israeli agents posing as Americans. Like Jonathan Pollard said, all Jews have dual loyalty.

🚨 The White House May Have Just Confirmed The Most Important Part Of The Epstein Story Without Meaning To.

New reporting comes out.

The response isn't:

"None of this happened."

The response is:

"Find the leaker."

Think about the logic.

If officials are launching a leak probe, they're looking for people inside the administration who spoke to reporters.

That means they're treating the conversations as real.

#BREAKING: Lawrence: “A federal judge in New York City presiding in the Court of International Trade said the time has come to ensure all of the duties are REFUNDED, those are his exact words. Judge Richard Eaton is presiding over the refunds of Donald Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional tariffs. In a hearing today on the progress of those refunds, a Customs…official estimated that they will have approved refunds of over $100 billion by the end of this month, and the only reason that is happening is that Judge Eaton has repeatedly ORDERED the Trump administration to FAST TRACK the refund process, something Judge Eaton continues to actively police, much to Donald Trump’s horror and confusion.”😳😂
