"The Trump administration admitted that it terminated nearly 300 federal research grants 'solely because' the projects were connected to states that voted against Donald Trump in 2024 and had two Democratic senators in office, according to court filings." https://t.co/8fI5M4yWVB
Donald Trump wants to put an innocent man in prison for 10 years rather than admit the no bid contract he offered to his crony was a mistake. Think about how terrible of a person you have to be to do that.
BRAND new Si Woo Kim story:
There’s a solid Korean bbq restaurant I always go to when I’m in Detroit. I text Si Woo, wanna grab dinner tonight at this place? He goes sure.
He searches the name of the restaurant on Google Maps, and without much thinking starts driving. But before it’s too late, he realizes that he’s about to go across the US border into Canada! There was a restaurant under the SAME NAME closer to him in Canada 😂
He doesn’t have a passport, just his wallet. He tries to turn back, but it’s already too late, it’s a one way and there are multiple signs telling him he can’t turn back.
He drives to the gate and talks to the officer. I’m driving to dinner with a friend, I came here by accident. The officer goes, ok don’t worry, happens all the time actually. But I can’t let you go back so you have to go across to Canada and then talk to the officers on the other side.
He drives across, waits in line for 45min. He finally gets to an officer and he tries to explain. He’s super nervous but tries to explain what happened. He points to his courtesy car and says I’m here for the golf tournament. This officer is not sure what to do so they drive the car to the side and calls another officer… then another… then another until 8!!! officers are surrounding his car and talking to him and each other. They check his cars for weapons, asks him if he has any drugs or weapons, stuff like that and they finally let him thru 😂😂😂.
Night ended with a nice kbbq dinner about 90 minutes later than we had originally planned.
Never a dull moment with Si Woo. Thanks for the content my guy
BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked Democrats' proposal to end Donald Trump's IRS sweetheart deal.
This deal gives him FULL IMMUNITY from audits on tax returns he's filed.
It's corruption on steroids.
Trump didn’t want to admit that he personally hired an unqualified contractor who screwed up the Pool and cost taxpayers millions. So instead he had the hack Fox host who he installed as US attorney indict an innocent man so he could blame him and others for his own incompetence.
The final paragraph of the Justice Dept's motion to dismiss case against David Hearn is quite something:
"A recent visual inspection showed damage throughout the Reflecting Pool, even in the middle of the pool, where a vandal would not likely attempt to peel the lining. Given all of this newly discovered information, it is difficult to attribute the widespread damage to the Reflecting Pool to vandalism"
A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping.
This is what tyranny looks like in Trump’s America. Imagine if Biden had Trump supporters pepper sprayed for videotaping.
Reminder:
- the Jan 6 prosecutions were launched by the first Trump Admin
- the Jan 6 rioters beat, maimed and attacked police
- the mob brought bear spray, weapons, Confederate flags, gallows and violent threats to Capitol
Trump would rather withdraw Blanche's nomination than give up his slush fund for Jan 6 rioters & his sweetheart immunity deal that prevents anyone from scrutinizing his, his family's, or his businesses' taxes.
Tells you what this nomination was really about: protecting Trump.
If you're wondering what party will help you keep your Social Security benefits and which one is trying to take them away, this is a Republican on the Senate floor TODAY:
🚨 The Trump administration has now eliminated regulations preventing toxic emissions from vehicles.
This is expected to dramatically increase lung disease risk for all Americans.
Trump promised a manufacturing boom.
Instead, we've lost 75,000 jobs and $60 billion in annual factory construction since he took office.

The SAVE Act is a terrible law. Republicans want to kick people out of the voting booth by passing extremely restrictive laws making it nearly impossible for many LEGAL, ELIGIBLE voters to prove their identity at the polls. It requires American citizens to go IN PERSON to a town or country clerk’s office (just what America asked for, more paperwork!) to register to vote with a birth certificate or passport—and tough luck if you changed your name when you got married and it doesn’t match anymore.
This bill is designed to prevent legal, eligible American citizens from voting. Full stop.
The House will pass a $12 billion bailout for farmers suffering from high fuel & fertilizer prices caused by the Iran War, expensive equipment & parts caused by tariffs, and lower sales prices for commodities due to trade disputes with China.
But the GOP is fighting communism!
Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"
