During the January 6th attack on the nation's Capitol, Daniel Rodriguez drove a stun gun into the neck of Officer Mike Fanone. He was knocked unconscious, had a heart attack and suffered a traumatic brain injury. It ended his career.
Rodriguez got over 12 years in prison for his assault on police. On day one, Donald Trump gave him a "full, complete and unconditional pardon" and sent him home.
This is far and away the most corrupt White House in American history.

Fox News is putting Nicki Minaj up telling people to vote red.
Letās break that down.
Can Nicki Minaj vote? No.
Sheās not a U.S. citizen.
Can Nicki Minajās husband vote? No, heās a registered sex offender.
Can Nicki Minajās brother vote? No, heās serving 25 years to life for child sexual assault.
She seems like the perfect spokesperson for MAGA republicans.

El-Sayed: In my Neurology unit, I would have to give that MOCA exam, that cognitive test he's so proud ofā¦ The only people you give that test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if youāre taking one of those tests, something is wrong.Ā
And you know the doctor who gave it to him was like, I just want to see how smart you are, sir. And he's like, me too.
He brags about having taken it. He's like I remembered the rhinoceros. You're like Habibi, everybody remember the rhinoceros.
And the funny thing about it is, you know, he's taken it multiple times. So he's not even bragging about the first time he took it. He's like, I took it the 1st time and then I took it the 2nd time. So with Donald Trump, you can't blame him for this, he's just dumb.
But for Mike Rogers, can you imagine how small of a human being you have to be to know that he has real deficits and to just nod your head approvingly at the most ridiculous shit that the man proposes?

An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election.
This is a textbook example of voter fraud.

After reviewing evidence, Woodland Police Department determined that an ICE agentās SUV did strike U.S. Citizen Antonio Moreida in Woodland on Tuesday, and Antonio did not jump onto the hood like ICE alleged.
ICEās history of bad behavior and lack of accountability is exactly why I took action Tuesday. I contacted the Acting Director of ICE immediately to demand answers and I support a full, independent investigation. ICEās actions have contributed to growing distrust and fear within our communities, making accountability more important now than ever.

Here is George Clooneyās response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."
"Hereās the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladiesā shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so Iād have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.
So this idea that Iām somehow the āHollywood eliteā and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.
People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of ācoastal elitesā living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?
He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesnāt run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!
When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.
Heās never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say āHollywood elite.ā Hollywood elite? I donāt have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-kā¦

Another day, another pardoned J-6er arrested and sentenced to 19 years for sexually-assaulting a 7-year-old little girl. A CHILD!
LET ME REPEAT THAT:
A man that the President of the United States PARDONED was convicted of molesting a 7-year-old CHILD.
Why has Fox News been silent about this?
Peter Kalla made a great point: āWhen they find an āillegal immigrantā that has done something as heinous as this, they cover it forever.ā
The victimās family would be on Hannity.
Somehow, Biden would be blamed.
But THIS ā where the current president is DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for this manāa freedomāļø Crickets š¦
For those keeping count: We're up to almost 100 insurrectionists recharged for new crimes out of almost 1,600 Donald Trump pardoned āon day one.ā
Instead of ending wars, lowering prices, or tackling any of the other things he promisedā¦
Imagine if that 7-year-old was YOUR daughter.

The House adjourned until after the election to avoid votes on releasing the rest of the Epstein Files and on the impeachment of SecDef Hegseth.
When we return, if the files havenāt been released and if Hegseth is still in office, Iāll force a vote on both.

President Trumpās decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putinās ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putinās war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putinās war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putinās war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesnāt want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russiaās military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.

Hey America.
Canada has a diesel surplus. We export more than we use domestically. Most of it to the United States.
Trump bought you 12 days worth from Russia for double what Canada charges everyday to you.

US-owned steel plant with a plant in Middletown OH begins mass layoffs amid Trump tariffs:
In a memo sent by Cleveland-Cliffs to workers, the company explicitly linked the move to Trump's steel tariffs on Canada, which it said had "significantly shrunk the market" for its products.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Cleveland-Cliffs' layoffs (up to 500 workers) are at its Stelco plant in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, due to US tariffs on Canadian steel imports. Its Middletown, Ohio plant has no such layoffs and is receiving a $1B upgrade investment.
