wild to read that there was one -- one! -- air traffic controller last night at LaGuardia a time when the government is asking for $200 billion for Trump's vanity war jalopnik.com/2129924/laguar…

In 2020, I argued every state must count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day. Today, the RNC argued no state can. That is how far the right has descended into voter suppression. And it is why I continue to fight.

The NTSB had to "beg" to get one of their specialists through TSA in Houston so they could get to the Laguardia plane crash. What a mess.

$1.5 BILLION. Let me say it again - a $1.5 BILLION BET. Bigger than any futures purchases made at the time. 5 minutes before Trump's post. Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer? This is corruption. Mind blowing corruption.

I was *so interested* to learn today that Trump *always* had the ability to pay DHS agents from his personal slush fund (the 2025 BBB Fund), he just chose *not to do so for a month*. Isn't that interesting?

There have been WAY TOO MANY close calls under Sleepy Sean’s watch. A United flight just nearly collided with a military Blackhawk. Secretary Sean Duffy PLEASE FOCUS ON YOUR JOB!

"Hegseth Chief of Staff Ricky Buria chastised the Army secretary for selecting Maj. Gen. Antoinette R. Gant to take command of the Military District of DC... {He said} Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events." nytimes.com/2026/03/27/us/…

Question for the Republican leadership: who started the undeclared war in Iran that has led to the escalating gas prices? So who really has created the lack of affordability here in Virginia?

The long lines at airports now falls squarely on Speaker Johnson's shoulders. The Senate unanimously passed a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. But Speaker Johnson is refusing to let the House vote on it. If you miss your flight, remember, this shutdown is on him.

This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).

Two-year-old Kaleth is being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. He is getting sicker with each passing day. He will not eat the food CoreCivc serves, which detainees have said sometimes has mold and worms. He now has a fever. When his mother asked for help, the staff said

Julia Davis Graduating from Boot Camp is one of the proudest, most significant days in a Marine’s life. To stain that day by threatening the families of those young men & women is vile, cowardly, & dishonorable. It is proof that Trump has no respect or love for those who serve & have served.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is in the Oval Office riffing on mail voting, because nobody in the Trump administration has real job duties beyond fluffing the leader on TV

President Trump can sign whatever the hell he wants to, but it won’t change the Constitution. The authority to set our election rules belongs to the states — and as Governor, I will protect your right to vote. That includes your right to vote by mail.

Imagine being a pilot hunted through 18,000 foot mountains, struggling for breath, and your clown-ass President is tweeting fucking war crimes while his son is making money off gambling whether you’ll live or die on Polymarket.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
