If you or I say the Israeli prime minister ‘influences’ American politicians to get them to think his way and fight his wars, it’s antisemitic. But if the Israeli prime minister says it…

Ukraine's long-range sanctions struck a number of key Russian targets:

▪️ The base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet's high-speed boats in temporarily occupied Crimea;

▪️ An oil refinery and a logistics center in Russia's Ryazan region;

▪️ An oil refinery in Russia's Perm region;

▪️ An export terminal and a military facility in Russia's Rostov region;

▪️ A radar station in Russia's Bryansk region;

▪️ A site used to store, prepare, and launch drones in Donetsk;

▪️ A military logistics warehouse in Portivske and a road bridge near Vyselky in Donetsk region, used by Russian forces for military logistics.

Glory!

A man clapped once during public comment at a data-center zoning meeting in Emporia, Kansas.

They arrested him.

Remember... no dissent allowed!

Just be silent like an obedient domesticated taxpayer while they fast‑track a data center in your backyard.

One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.–Canada trade.

The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing).

The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open.

Here's the story:

For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada worked together to build a new public crossing right next to it — six lanes over the Detroit River, named for a Canadian-born Red Wings legend, built by thousands of union workers. Canada paid the entire bill. Michigan co-owns it. It's finished. It’s a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with a tremendous return for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs.

So why isn't it open?

Because the Moroun family, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge just up the river, doesn’t want the competition. They spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to stop any competing international crossing from being built or opening. They lost. So they went to the White House instead.

In January, Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. Then the billionaire called Trump's Commerce Secretary and, just hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he praised in his own first term and threatened to block it.
Then, the day before the June 12th ribbon-cutting, the opening was called off indefinitely.

It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging.

Trump is screwing over Michiganders for the interests of billionaires — holding a finished, publicly owned project hostage to protect one donor's toll booth.

So a finished bridge sits closed, Michiganders keep paying the higher tolls, cars and trucks cost more, and a billionaire family keeps its monopoly.

Mr. President: stop playing games. Open the damn bridge.

arrests for touching water in the Reflecting Pool, no arrests for murders committed by ICE or of criminal pedophiles in the Epstein files.

NEWS: Three-star Admiral Nancy Lacore just won a Democratic House primary in South Carolina.

She was fired by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Her story is a reminder that public service doesn’t begin or end with a job title.

Some people spend their lives looking for ways to contribute.

Others actually do it.

Show Admiral Lacore some love and leave a 💙.

I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.

1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.

2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.

3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.

4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.

5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.

6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.

7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.

The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

🚨 WATCH: Darren Jones says the two girls raped by three teenage boys “deserve justice” in an emotional response to one of their stories

[Acyn @Acyn]

AOC: I think it’s pretty unbelievable that Gaza would not be mentioned once in the autopsy report. I think it was very clearly a major dynamic and a major thread that was happening in 2024. The fact that it’s not even addressed, I think, is a major oversight.

And I think that for young people, it was a huge part of the environment. I can tell you for myself as a candidate during that cycle, there’s no way that it was an ignorable issue or totally immaterial. So I think that it’s a real disservice to not speak to that or include or assess that.

State supreme court justices play a critical role in defending your rights and freedoms, which is why the election happening in Georgia right now is so important.

Make sure you have a plan to vote for Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin, the only two candidates in the race with strong records of standing up for all Georgians.

Early voting is already underway and Election Day is May 19th. Find out where you can vote at https://t.co/OHJnsHnuiB.

Donald Trump raped a 13 year-old child. She bit him on the penis. He punched her in the face. The FBI found the young child's story to be credible. Never stop talking about this. We cannot allow these criminals to normalize child rape.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

So an ex-cop-turned drug dealer who murdered four people execution-style, whom Jeffrey Epstein accused of killing him and is also seeking a pardon from Donald Trump says he found Epstein's suicide note seven years ago in a book. One of his lawyers says he turned it over to the court but can't recall what it said -- and it took three tries before his other lawyer could "authenticate" it. By the way, the court docket for his case shows that Nicholas Tartaglione has had 18 lawyers. He is serving four consecutive life sentences.
