🚨 A Republican Gun Owner accused a disabled black veteran of stolen valor.

He then proceeded to shoot the man unprovoked.

He has now been sentenced to 3.5 years in prison.

I feel compelled to post this banger of a clip showing Barbara Walters humiliate trump to his face, as a reminder to reporters: YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT HIM CALLING YOU "DUMMY."

This is outstanding. 👏👏👏

DHS is suspending TSA PreCheck and Global Entry starting Sunday 6 AM ET.

40 million enrolled travelers lose expedited screening.

You paid $78-$100 for 5 years. Service suspended, fees still charged.

Partial government shutdown = longer lines for frequent flyers. The 4.4% who travel most just got hit hardest.

BREAKING: Georgia finally finds Trump’s 2020 “voter fraud” — and it leads straight to Elon Musk’s pro-Trump super PAC.

For years, Trump and his MAGA cronies screamed about voter fraud in Georgia. Turns out they finally found some.

Plot twist: it wasn’t immigrants. It wasn’t Democrats. It wasn’t “deep state” operatives. It was Elon Musk’s own super PAC.

The Georgia State Elections Board voted to issue a formal letter of reprimand to Elon Musk’s America PAC after investigators found the group sent partially prefilled absentee ballot applications to voters across multiple counties during the 2024 election cycle.

That’s not some clerical oopsie. State law clearly prohibits anyone — other than an authorized relative — from sending voters ballot applications already filled in with their personal information. It turns out that you don’t get to pre-fill election paperwork for people and call it democracy.

And it gets even worse.

Investigators also found that Musk’s PAC allegedly failed to clearly disclose that the mailing was not an official government document and was not a ballot. In other words, voters were receiving election-related paperwork pre-populated with their data from a billionaire’s political machine — without clear, conspicuous warnings.

Because apparently, when you’re the richest man on Earth trying to boost your preferred candidate, transparency is optional. For a movement obsessed with “election integrity,” this is rich.

This all unfolded in Georgia — the same battleground state that has been ground zero for endless conspiracy theories since 2020. The same state Trump allies have repeatedly accused of fraud. The same state where MAGA officials have staged investigations, raids, and dramatic press conferences claiming foreign interference.

Remember when Tulsi Gabbard was supposedly sniffing around Fulton County election offices looking for wrongdoing? Turns out the only documented meddling came from inside Trump’s own political orbit.

The Georgia Elections Board didn’t mince words. Evidence suggested the PAC violated state law. The board voted swiftly to reprimand it.

The irony is staggering. After years of shouting about stolen elections, the loudest fraud narrative may have boomeranged back onto its own architects.

When it comes to Georgia election interference, the smoke didn’t come from some shadowy foreign power. It reportedly came from a billionaire’s political operation trying to help Donald Trump win.

Sometimes the call really is coming from inside the house. Turns out there really was election meddling in Georgia. It just came with a Tesla logo.

Please like and share to spread the news.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Drop Site obtained harrowing footage of the latest killing which appears to be from the perspective of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Americans are being killed in the street by their government. Our Constitution is being shredded and our rights are dissolving. Resist.

Senate Dems should block ICE funding this week. Activate the National Guard.

We can and must stop this.

❄️🐼 Tumbling in a winter wonderland! This morning, about 5 inches of snow blanketed the Washington, D.C., area, including giant panda Bao Li and Qing Bao's outdoor habitats. Flakes stuck to their fur as the bears frolicked and somersaulted. It was 🐾paws-itively the panda *snowment* of our dreams!

@BenjBrantley Thank you for reviving the memory I had of seeing Ethel Merman in GYPSY on April 21, 1961 in Cleveland, Ohio. I was a mere 14 years old and also worshiped at the church of the American musical. The memory of her entering from audience is still as thrilling as it was then.
