@DeadlineWH time to redefine “deep state” to mean what it really is namely a deep foundation to support the structure that delivers what the people need while minimizing corruption. Eliminating the Deep State does two things. 1) reduces the ability of the government to… more

Fortunately Ukraine has reduced Putin’s Russia from one of three superpowers to a struggling third world country. Unfortunately, loser Trump doesn’t understand that. Or, it’s just the videos.

The top 1% now hold as much wealth as the entire bottom 90% of Americans combined — about 32% each.

This is what runaway inequality looks like, according to the Fed's most recent data released this month.

[Rep. LaMonica McIver @RepLaMonica]

Tomorrow, I will be in court for the case that could put me in prison for 17 years. I am fighting these charges because I dared to show up to an ICE detention center and demand answers for New Jerseyans. I was doing my job, conducting oversight. This administration thinks they should be allowed to abuse people behind closed doors. I am facing criminal charges because I won’t let them.

At noon I will be on the Senate floor giving a comprehensive speech outlining the last 500 days of Trump's dizzying, unprecedented campaign of corruption.

We cannot normalize what he is doing. He is stealing from us.

Our Director of National Intelligence has zero national security experience.

Now he’s firing public servants who do.

This is not only stupid, it makes us less safe.

July 3, 2022. Moss Point, Mississippi. A car carrying 3 teenage girls drives down the I-10 boat launch and plunges straight into the Pascagoula River.

The driver later tells police she was following her GPS. She had no idea it was leading her off the edge and into the water. By the time she realizes what's happening, the car is already floating. Then sinking.

The vehicle drifts 20 feet from shore. Then more. The girls climb onto the roof of the car as it goes under. The water is black. It is the middle of the night. And the Pascagoula River is known for one other thing most people don't think about until it's too late.

Alligators.

Corion Evans, age 16, a student at Pascagoula High School, is nearby when it happens. He hears the girls screaming for help.

He doesn't hesitate for a single second.

He throws down his phone. Pulls off his shoes. Strips off his shirt. And jumps in.

He later says: I was just like, I can't let none of these folks die. They need to get out the water. So I just started getting them. I wasn't even thinking about nothing else.

The car is nearly submerged. The girls are panicking. The water is deep and dark and moving. Corion swims out — 25 yards from shore — and reaches them.

His friend Karon Bradley, known as KJ, jumps in right behind him. Together they help get the girls onto the surface of the sinking car.

But here is what most people miss: Corion doesn't just help them float. He swims them back. 1 at a time. Into shore. Through the dark water. With legs that are burning and lungs that are working as hard as they ever have.

2 girls make it to shore. The 3rd can't swim. She is still on the roof when a responding officer arrives.

Moss Point Police Officer Gary Mercer swims out to help. He reaches the remaining girl and begins pulling her toward shore. Then the girl panics. She grabs him. She pulls him under. Officer Mercer begins to drown.

Corion turns around.

He sees the officer going under. He hears him calling for help. He is already exhausted. His legs are already spent. He has already pulled 2 people through 25 yards of alligator-infested river in the dead of night.

He swims back out.

He grabs Officer Mercer. He says later: I went and I grabbed the police officer and I'm like swimming him back until I feel myself I can walk.

All 4 people make it to shore alive.

Officer Mercer and all 3 girls are taken to the hospital. All of them recover. Chief Brandon Ashley of the Moss Point Police Department later says publicly: If Mr. Evans had not assisted, it could have possibly turned out tragically instead of all occupants rescued safely.

Moss Point Mayor Billy Knight presents Corion with a certificate of commendation from the city. He says: We are proud of the young man for having the courage to forget about himself and jump into the water. It's not often enough that you see people put others above themselves.

The recognition doesn't stop there. The Mississippi Senate formally commends Corion Evans by name in Senate Resolution 32 of the 2023 legislative session — a rare honor for a teenager from a small town.

His mother, Marquita Evans, speaks to reporters afterward. She says: I was really proud of Corion because he wasn't just thinking about himself. He was trying to really get all those people out the water. I'm glad nothing happened to him while he was trying to save other people's lives.

Corion tells reporters he has been swimming since he was 3 years old.

He is asked if he was scared. He says: Anything could've been in that water. But I wasn't thinking about it.

That is the part that stays with you. He knew the risks. The darkness. The distance. The wildlife beneath the surface. The weight of another person pulling you under. He knew all of it and he swam out anyway. Not once. Not twice. Three times.

4 people are alive today because a 16-year-old boy decided, without hesitating for even a moment, that strangers were worth saving.

Sen. Tuberville promised voters he would donate “every dime” he made in Washington, D.C., to Alabama veterans — and even present checks on a monthly basis. Six years later, tax records and his own nonprofit show no evidence that ever happened.

The majority in Russia is already taking issue with Putin because there is no end in sight to his war. And all the hardships Russians are facing today should bring them closer to the realization that their war is real, that it's not just "stones falling from the sky,” and that their war must end.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are now aggressively tackling, and arresting, U.S. VETERANS.

In this video, multiple ICE agents are seen violently tackling a man to the ground… while another agent points a taser at bystanders, who are standing so far away, they aren’t even visible.

As the man is being pinned down, his brother repeatedly yells that he is a veteran, and legally in the United States.

An ICE agent then pulls up and begins ordering the brother to “stay out of it.”

The brother continues shouting that the man being detained is a veteran, and legal.

And the agent’s response?

“I don’t care.”

ICE’s entire purpose is, supposedly, to enforce immigration law. Their entire job is determining who is not legally allowed to be in this country.

So, if an agent’s response to learning the person they’re arresting is a veteran… and here legally… is, “I don’t care.”

Then what exactly are ICE agents actually enforcing?

@grahamformaine Dollars always move up toward the wealthy. To keep capitalism dynamic, the government must tax the wealthy and reinvest these taxes to provide opportunities for those at the bottom. In this way capitalism benefits all Americans not just a few.

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

We can have a thriving middle class, or we can have a handful of people accumulating more wealth than at any time in human history.

We cannot have both.
