Houston Mayor John Whitmire: For the Salgado family, life will never be the same. At no fault of theirs, Mr. Salgado was chased by a unmarked vehicles. Before he could identify himself and speak as a Houstonian, he was shot and killed. We will use all of our resources to pursue an independent and transparent investigation.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent.

There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's @JRogalskiKHOU found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off.

Renee Good all over again.

They knew about Corinthian columns when they built the WH. They chose the simpler Doric on purpose, because the WH is not supposed to be an ornate, gilded palace of a mad king.

Honestly at this point I think @GovAndyBeshear should file the paperwork for a special election.

If Republicans want to take it to court that’s fine.

Force their hand.

Seems the only way they’ll actually provide proof of life.

RIP Bonnie Tyler 😔💔🙏🏻

The iconic singer had recently fallen into a coma following a serious medical complication resulting from intestinal surgery.

With her powerful, raspy voice, she captivated the world. We say goodbye to a legend of the 80s and 90s.

If you haven’t heard of Devon Murphy-Anderson, you will.

She’s the executive director of the Maine Democratic Party, and she’s quickly becoming one of the most influential Democratic operatives in the country.

She makes it clear:

📌 The mission is bigger than any one candidate.

📌 The movement didn’t end with Graham Platner’s withdrawal. The focus is still defeating Susan Collins.

📌 Maine Democrats, not Washington insiders, will choose the next nominee through what they say will be an open, transparent, and representative process.

📌 They’re trying to build in under two weeks what normally takes six to eight months.

The next few weeks won’t just shape Maine. They could shape control of the U.S. Senate.

Watch this one.

Republicans went completely batshit when Lloyd Austin took three days to notify the White House about his emergency hospitalization - but when it’s been over three weeks and Mitch McConnell’s condition is still a mystery - not a fucking word.

[Jane Forda (PARODY) @AngelaLark66613]

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.

Q: You've called for repealing women's right to vote, which is protected by the 19th Amendment. Why?

Pete Hegseth's Pastor, Doug Wilson: Because it's a good idea. A lot of women wouldn't agree. I don't want women voting as individuals

What’s that, @DaleVince? You want to give me an unconditional personal gift of £5million to do whatever I want with? Sure! I just need to fill out a form. If I didn’t declare it that would be silly.
