Boykin: The Republicans control the entire government. They control the white house. They control the house. They control the senate. They control six of the nine seats on the supreme court. If you're not happy with the way the country is running America, blame the Republicans.

I am suing the Attorney General of the United States.

In my opinion, the judge in my case has been strategically laying the foundation for contempt.
A federal judge says Todd Blanche isn't sufficiently following the court's orders in a case concerning the Epstein files and gave Blanche a deadline to comply or face the possibility of contempt charges.

The order stems from the lawsuit brought by Katie Phang.
Judge Warns Blanche of Possible Contempt Charges Over Epstein Files
The Justice Department hasn’t sufficiently followed a court order to produce documents, the federal judge said.

What's worse: a Twitch streamer's 2019 comments about 9/11 or the US president on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 selling even more weapons to the country that many 9/11 families believe may have been behind the attacks, or at least knew about them in advance, and that 15 of the 19 hijackers came from?

If you are a network or cable news anchor who, in 2026, asked a Democratic guest about Hasan Piker but didn't ask a Republican guest about Lorenzo Sewell, then you have failed at your job. You have failed at journalism and balance. It's that simple.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.

They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.

There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

"Were you drunk at the time? You're not just bigoted, you're mad."

On Piers Morgan's show, I clashed with Nancy Mace, the insanely Islamophobic Republican congresswoman, whose own former staffers allege she has a drinking problem (which she denies).

Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home today, telling Republicans to “make the case” to their constituents.

Don’t let them lie about what their big, ugly bill did. Here’s the truth.

This is super cool. @zacheverson.com is a journalist following Trump’s crypto corruption. For people who are having trouble understanding how it works, Zach made a game. I love this kind of innovation for helping us understand stuff….
New: Trump called crypto "thin air." Last year, he reported $1.4 billion in income from it.

Buyers of his crypto? They're an estimated $4.7 billion underwater.

I made an 8-bit game out of it—

📈 Play as Trump: you cannot lose money.

📉 Play as an investor: you cannot win.

By now we’ve become accustomed to Trump’s moves but we’re still confused about his motives. Some blame Trump’s vanity. Others point to his flagrant narcissism. Or his insatiable need to glorify himself. Or his bottomless vindictiveness.

It goes deeper. Let me explain.

His vanity, narcissism, vainglory, and vindictiveness are mere symptoms

"Britain’s Role in Yemen’s Brutal War Must End – And Reparations Should Follow"

The war in Yemen is escalating again. The UK must end its military support of Saudi Arabia – or it could do to Burnham’s premiership what complicity in the Gaza genocide did to Starmer’s.

New in PN: Retire in peace

"McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"
Retire in peace
McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.
