I fear we have a cruel month ahead of us: the future of campaign finance law, the definition of Election Day, the fate of birthright citizenship. While I remain hopeful, I am prepared for democracy to leave this month weaker than it entered. https://t.co/WKWGn1CznF

💥 Remember those drug boats Hegseth was bragging about blowing up?

A senior Pentagon official just admitted that some of the people killed in those strikes may not have been cartel operatives at all, but human trafficking victims.

Not traffickers. Trafficked human beings.

The plane carrying the #Uruguay national team is unable to enter the United States for the #2026WorldCup due to missing permits.

Uruguay's trip to Miami, where they are set to play Saudi Arabia in their opening match tomorrow, has been delayed.

This World Cup is an absolute disgrace. You are responsible for this, @FIFAWorldCup.

[Former Republican 🇺🇸 @Sjacobs2020]

Okay, I'm gonna be honest.
This gay club looks fabulous.

They've got everything. Sweaty men wrestling, guys on motorcycles in leather jackets, gold everywhere, and the Village People performing.

Blue bags up.

Japan 2, Netherlands 2 — an absolute thriller in Arlington. And then the real show started.

The Japanese end pulls out thousands of bright blue bags. First they wave them like flags, bouncing and chanting until the whole section is one giant wall of blue. Then — same bags, new mission. They fan out across the stands and scoop up every bottle, wrapper and cup till the seats look brand new.

And who's right in the middle of it, grinning with a bag in his hand? Jameis Winston. Giants QB. Heisman winner. Out there cleaning up with the Samurai Blue like it's the best gig of his summer.

No chore. No lecture. Just a party that cleans up after itself.

Best fans on the planet. 🇯🇵💙

🚨 WARNING about StubHub 🚨 We purchased 4 FIFA World Cup tickets (France vs Senegal, MetLife Stadium June 16) for $2,189 back in December. Three days before the game, the seller "couldn't deliver." StubHub's so-called FanProtect Guarantee? When we clicked the link — ZERO replacement tickets available. The same seats are now listed at DOUBLE the price. Oh, and our $300 non-refundable parking pass? Gone. This is a deliberate bait-and-switch scheme and we're filing complaints with both the NJ and MD Attorney General. Do better @StubHub. #StubHub #FIFA #WorldCup #BaitAndSwitch #ConsumerFraud

Stateside, a gas station. I drank a frozen blue beverage too quickly, and was struck down by a punishment this entire nation knows, and accepts, and has named.

The drink is called a slush. Ice, sweetness, and a blue that does not occur in nature. The day was hot. I was thirsty. I drank like a soldier at a river.

The pain arrived in my skull like a war horn.

Behind the eyes. Above everything. Total. I gripped the roof of my car. I may have made a sound.

"Brain freeze," said the cashier through the door, with no urgency whatsoever.

It has a NAME. The affliction is so common it has a household name, like a cousin.

"Tongue on the roof of your mouth," called a man at the pumps. He did not look over. He prescribed the remedy mid-pump, casually, the way one mentions weather.

I pressed my tongue to the roof of my mouth. The war horn faded. The healer nodded at his pump, finished, and was gone in a Chevrolet.

In my land, punishment follows crime by way of courts and seasons. Here, the sentence is instant. Drink with greed, and the ice strikes the mind directly. No trial. No appeal. Perfectly fair.

And here is what moves me. EVERYONE has felt it. The cashier. The healer. Children. Elders. An entire nation united by the same small lightning, all taught the same cure, all passing it on to strangers at gas stations, free of charge.

You cannot fully distrust a country once you know it shares one pain.

The freeze does not punish thirst. It punishes haste.

I finished the slush slowly, like a scholar. Blue tongue. Clear mind.

Then at the door I forgot everything, drank deeply, and was struck down again.

"Tongue, hon," said the cashier, without looking up.

Discipline is a journey.

🚨 MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT: Rep. Thomas Massie announces he is introducing legislation to force the declassification of all records regarding the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty!

He demands Washington finally prioritize American lives over the Zionist regime's massive coverup!

It’s happened again:

A migrant was released from jail (charges dropped) and picked up by ICE.

ICE decides not to deport.

ICE drops migrant off far from home.

Migrant dies in the cold.

Manner of death: Homicide.

Nearly identical to Buffalo case.

ICE took a 31 y/o Haitian asylum-seeker into custody, drove her 30 miles away to a Pittsburgh office, put an ankle monitor on her, then sent her out the front door with no way to get anywhere or contact her family.

She froze to death at a bus stop. It's now ruled a homicide.

On Friday evening, the Republican leaders of North Carolina's state legislature dropped a big, unannounced, 36-page omnibus bill stuffed to the brim with new voting restrictions and elections changes.

This thing is a voter suppression wishlist. Just some of its major provisions:
👉 Total ban on encouraging voter turnout: State and county board members are prohibited from any public statement "encouraging or promoting voter turnout in any election"
👉 Grants the Republican State Auditor total discretion to audit all machines, county offices and personnel involved in any election
👉 Reduces campaign finance transparency: the bill significantly raises the dollar thresholds for required reporting of dark money contributions or media expenditures, waiving reporting for the rest
👉 Requires voters to register with a political party a full year before voting in that party's primary election (up from 90 days)
👉 Total ban on any ranked-choice voting in any primary or general election statewide
👉 Strips some overseas voters of their eligibility to vote in any state elections
👉 Partisan staffing: changes up to 25 professional staff at the State Board of Elections from career civil staff to partisan political appointees
👉 Bans paid petition gathering

This bill just dropped last night and may not be online yet (they like to take their time). We got a full draft of the bill here: https://t.co/CMBAsV4Mtw

The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation issued a statewide Blue Alert naming an innocent 19-year-old as a wanted suspect in connection with a Covington County deputy shooting. They were wrong.

This young man never left his city. He had nothing to do with this incident. Yet his name and description were sent to every phone across the state, branding him a dangerous criminal before a single fact was verified.

After he explained his whereabouts and provided his alibi, investigators cleared him and he was released. The Covington County Sheriff’s department confirmed this was a case of mistaken identity. But the damage to his name, his reputation, and his family’s peace of mind cannot be undone with a simple retraction.

This is not a minor administrative error. When law enforcement moves this recklessly, innocent people get hurt. Or worse, they don’t make it home.

Accountability is not optional. It is owed.
