A trooper pulled over a work truck for tinted windows.
The passenger spoke Spanish, so they called someone to translate. Then they called ICE.
His pregnant wife was at home. So was his little girl.
Agents told him he'd go to prison if he kept saying he was an American citizen.
He is an American citizen. https://t.co/fb3rnIClHE
No one has seen Mitch McConnell alive since June 11.
He's missed 60 roll call votes since then, and has been paid more than $35,000 in taxpayer salary during that time.
Mitch McConnell has been dead for 78 days, still holding his Senate seat and collecting a paycheck and benefits.
If he were a Democrat, Fox News would be losing their fucking minds.
Pope Francis: "I continue to receive very serious and painful news from Gaza. Unarmed civilians are subjected to bombings and shootings. A mother and her daughter were killed by Israeli snipers while going to the restroom. It is terrorism."
On the House floor tonight, I read the names of several Epstein coconspirators who should be investigated and prosecuted.
I also began collecting 218 signatures for the discharge petition to force a vote on Epstein Files Transparency Act II.
Trump's EPA has approved the use of a pesticide and known carcinogen, trifludimoxazin.
The forever chemical will now be used on corn, wheat, oats, soybeans, oranges, apples, peanuts, and almonds.
@NLiddle16 Please decompress and play tetris or do something calming. Definitely get off social media for awhile. Praying/sending healing vibes for you and anyone else who witnessed this
The IRS is threatening to seize a Tennessee man's farm after charging him interest on a $20,000 refund it accidentally sent him, which he immediately tried to return.
Wilson Perry Kirby, 76, says he was accidentally sent $20,000 by the IRS in 2022.
Kirby immediately tried returning the money and even hired an accountant to fix the issue.
Instead, the IRS is now charging him interest on the money he tried returning and is withholding his 2025 tax refund.
"I've tried the president, governor, mayor. They don't mind asking you to vote for them, but when you need help you can't get ahold of nobody," Kirby said.
Despite trying to fix the problem, the IRS is still sending letters, demanding he pay interest on the money they accidentally sent him that he tried to return. He never spent it.
The IRS is now threatening to seize his farm if he doesn't pay the up to $4300 (and growing) interest.
Infuriating.

AOC on Mitch McConnell: If he can’t give us an update, he should resign. It’s been very clear to people across Kentucky that his “update” was not sufficient. We need to know if you’re capable of doing the job for the foreseeable future.
When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
🚨 Rep. Sarah Jacobs just left Pete Hegseth STUNNED in this hearing.
With 2,500 Marines from her district off the coast of Iran and military families calling her office in panic, she asked the question no one else would:
“Do you believe the president is mentally stable enough to be Commander-in-Chief?”
Hegseth deflected hard.
She didn’t flinch.
Then she dropped this:“If you think this is what winning looks like… maybe we should be questioning your mental stability.”
Pure accountability. No notes.
It takes a woman to say what needs to be said when lives and billions of dollars are on the line. This clip is everything.
