Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf.

For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders.

An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

So, last night, a judge issued a court order.
This morning? CNN, MS NOW, and Politico reporters are still locked out of the White House.
But…rest easy; Xi's inside. With Chinese state media. Yeah no shit

GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers voted against legislation guaranteeing health care for first responders sickened by the Sept. 11 attacks. On 9 separate votes or legislative actions between 2003-2010, he opposed, tried to block, or sought to restrict federal health care funding for 9/11 responders.

I absolutely LOVE this.

Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen.

This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

Houthis just filmed a warehouse full of US-made armor they took off Saudi-backed forces after Mocha fell. Shot on an iPhone. Such a damaging image! The coalition’s decade-long war in Yemen is ending in captured American equipment & open humiliation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Not BREAKING NEWS because the Trump admin has been deleting and altering federal datasets for over a year.

You can argue about policy. But when the government starts eliminating the data we use to determine whether those policies are actually working, that deserves a hell of a lot more attention.

A jury found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll.

Now, the DOJ is investigating her.

This is exactly why survivors stay silent.

This makes me furious. As this delusional psychopath destroys the quiet grandeur of Washington DC, he is pulling the funding from the National Park Service. Destroying the city and pulling funding from National Parks across the USA.

There is nothing he can’t and won’t fuck up.
The National Park Service is using at least $67 million worth of park entrance fees to help fund President Trump’s beautification projects in Washington, D.C., according to a New York Times analysis. nyti.ms/4nQ6Uau

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end.
