1. President Trump says the war is way ahead of schedule and that it could be complete.

This despite Pete Hegseth telling 60 Minutes last night that we are in the early days of the war.

Trump says he won’t sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports.

Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.

Nothing to see here.

Zero in on Stephen Miller as a supervillain Democrats should make Trump’s unlikable adviser the face of the GOP

Stephen Miller is a fascist promoting a dictatorship. He's an offputting creep, too – the GOP's Dr. Evil. Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says he's a “big problem” for Trump. But that's true only if Democrats take advantage and tie Miller to Republicans in the midterms.

Trump, who is actively covering up the Epstein files, is really leaning heavily into the MAGA religious cult vibes today.

He also posted this video that uses a story about a Trump family Bible to imply God chose Trump to usher in a revival.

This is an escalation by DHS.

Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.

Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

GOP Congressman Says ‘Muslims Don’t Belong In American Society’ Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee also called it “a lie” that diverse groups of people can respectfully engage with each other.

“Yet anti-Muslim extremists in Congress like Randy Fine and Andy Ogles have faced no consequences for their dangerous rhetoric," says CAIR's spokesman. “The double standards and hypocrisy must end.”

CAIR now lists Ogles as an “anti-Muslim extremist" on its website. www.huffpost.com/entry/andy-o...

“If any member of Congress had declared that ‘Jews do not belong in America,’ that politician would rightfully face condemnation, censure and even possibly expulsion,” says a spokesperson for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy org.

Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi have been charged with committing a heinous act of terrorism and proclaiming their allegiance to ISIS.

They should be held fully accountable for their actions.

We will continue to keep New Yorkers safe. We will not tolerate terrorism or violence in our city.

You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us.

It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.

Epstein Latest: A newly surfaced document reveals an inmate told the FBI he overheard guards talking about covering up Epstein's death the morning he died.

Miami Herald Investigative Reporter, Julie K. Brown, describes what the inmate claims he heard.

How many more American service members have to die before the US Criminal Justice System starts investigating, charging, and arresting the people in the Epstein Files?

Trump called out the NFL when players kneeled during the National Anthem, protesting police brutality toward blacks, but Trump can wear a baseball cap during the arrival of fallen soldiers? Trump was hawking his $55 merch

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

The Iranian nightmare Ukraine should never see Proposed amendments to Ukrainian law would have put Ukraine closer to Iran by allowing child marriage in exceptional cases. Yesterday, Sasha joined a protest against these oppressive laws.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Hundreds gathered in central Kyiv for the first Women’s March since 2021.

Proposed Civil Code amendments could allow child marriage in “exceptional cases.”

Sasha joins the protest, warning Ukraine not to follow Iran’s path.

Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington, 26, of Glendale, Kentucky, has been identified as the seventh U.S. service member killed in an Islamic Republic attack in retaliation for the U.S.–Israel war against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Think we may have lost the moral high ground when it comes to dispensing refugee advice to other countries.
More broadly, the US has been simultaneously telling Europe it is destroying itself by accepting refugees from the Middle East, and also setting the scene for the next refugee criss.

A 26-year-old Army sergeant from Kentucky has been identified as the seventh US service member killed in the war with Iran.

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 In the April election, Wisconsin liberals are hoping to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential race.

Chris Taylor, a candidate in next month’s Wisconsin Supreme Court election, has promised to protect ballot access in the state. “We cannot be fatigued when it comes to democracy,” she told Bolts.

OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters."

This is on tape, so it's easy to pull off. But I saw Fox do this live during the Jan 6th hearings. Tucks was on & they would cut the focus between listening live to the hearing and Tucks talking with the hearing muted. When things got awkward for their view of reality, they would just disappear it.

This is a great example of how Fox manipulates it's viewers. Because they trust only Fox, the Fox audience is completely vulnerable to manipulation by Fox. How could they know that what they're seeing with their own eyes isn't real? They couldn't. They're seeing it happen, it's right there!
