Albert Einstein visited the Hopi people near the Grand Canyon in 1931, where he was honored with a feathered headdress and a peace pipe at Hopi House. The gesture recognized his pacifist ideals and is preserved in a well-known photograph.
🚨BOOM: Governor Pritzker has the PERFECT message for Donald Trump:
“There’s some things that I don't wanna say on camera. But I will say…
Donald Trump is a racist, a misogynist, a homophobe, a xenophobe…
STAY OUT of our city, STAY OUT of our state, quit attacking the people of the United States..”
Stop taking your own problems out on the American people…
Get this everywhere to get under Trump’s skin.
Donald Trump’s recent public appearances continue to raise serious questions.
He has repeatedly appeared unable to walk in a straight line, his hands have shown visible discoloration covered by heavy makeup, and his speech has become increasingly erratic.
This week, he also missed a series of basic putts in front of children despite spending much of his time on the golf course.
The pattern is becoming harder and harder to ignore.
With summer vacations looming and monthly budgets straining, Republicans in Congress just unveiled their latest budget.
Their grand plan?
$70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol
$1 billion for Trump's gold-plated ballroom
And $0 for your bottom line.
I wish I was kidding.
Jimmy Kimmel responded directly to Melania Trump during his opening monologue on Monday night after the First Lady called for his firing: "I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something we should reject. I do. And I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it."
"You know how sometimes you wake up in the morning and the First Lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job? We've all been there, right? What a day.
"As you know, they had to cancel the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington on Saturday night after a man with multiple guns and knives crashed the party and may have shot a Secret Service officer. Fortunately, the guy was wearing a bulletproof vest and is okay. He was charged today. No one was hurt, thank goodness. A lot of people were shaken up on a night that is supposed to be light-hearted.
"The White House Correspondents' Dinner, if you don't know, it used to be an annual event before Trump showed up, but every year they'd have a comedian roast the room. The President, the Vice President, members of the press—everybody got roasted. I did it once; I hosted it. It was a lot of fun.
"But this year they said, 'No comedian. We're bringing in a mentalist instead.' So on Thursday, three days before the event, in order to keep that cherished tradition alive, I did my own version of the correspondents' dinner on my show. I put on a tuxedo. We pretended we had an audience of luminaries. We used old footage of the Trumps, of Pete Hegseth, J.D. Vance, Kid Rock, Vanilla Ice, all the members of his cabinet, and we made it seem like they were all together in a room. We had a little roast.
"Again, this was Thursday, and there was no big reaction to it until this morning when I greeted the day facing yet another Twitter vomit storm, and a call to fire me from our First Lady, Melania Trump, saying I should be fired because of a joke I made, again, five nights ago.
"It was a pretend roast. I said, 'Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at her. So beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.' Which obviously was a joke about their age difference and the look of joy we see on her face every time they're together. It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he's almost 80 and she's younger than I am. It was not, by any stretch of the definition, a call to assassination, and they know that. I've been very vocal for many years speaking out against gun violence in particular.
"But I understand that the First Lady had a stressful experience over the weekend, and probably every weekend is pretty stressful in that house. And also, I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something we should reject. I do. And I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it... because, by the way, I also should point out: Donald Trump is allowed to say whatever he wants to say, as are you, and as am I, as are all of us. Because under the First Amendment, we have as Americans a right to free speech."
I’m leaving the Capitol at 4am after Republicans rammed through a vote paving a path for $70B to fund ICE for years without any reforms/accountability. They rejected all Dem proposals to lower your healthcare costs, housing, and gas prices. Spread the word. We need to stop this.
ICE punch a 16-year-old boy in the face.

Incident occurred in the Pueblo de Palmas neighborhood of Edinburg in Hidalgo County, Texas—in the Rio Grande Valley.
The verdict of a prominent conservative website and magazine:
"A 79-year-old man who has long dealt in chaos is now being consumed by that chaos. His episodes are becoming more frequent, his good days further apart. What he has lost is not a sense of decency or decorum—he never had those—but any remaining sense of self-control.
"Everyone around him can see it. Yet, whether from ambition, cowardice, or weary acceptance, they keep looking for ways to rationalize his behavior. The tragedy is no longer Trump’s. It is now America’s."
