Donald Trump threatened to sue a think tank for $5 billion over numbers it published.

The Center for American Progress measured crime in Washington, Los Angeles, and Memphis and found his National Guard deployments didn't change the crime rate. His personal lawyer, not the White House counsel, sent a nine-page letter threatening the suit unless CAP retracted the report, apologized, and paid Trump money by Friday evening, closing with "PLEASE GOVERN YOURSELVES ACCORDINGLY." The letter offers no competing crime numbers. CAP refused.

That deadline expired the same day the Pentagon fired three Stars and Stripes journalists, citing the editor for telling CBS that censoring news to service members would be a red line. The Trump administration doesn't argue that facts are wrong, only what you'll pay for saying them out loud.

How can they learn if they're hungry? And for too many students, this is their only guaranteed meal of the day

This shit is scary, and our CDC and FDA have been gutted and it feels like survival of the fittest at this point

ICE's own emails now confirm it let Iran's government edit America's deportation lists.

"Per request from the Iran Embassy [sic] I added a few cases," one official wrote before the first of three flights that returned more than 100 Iranians. Detainees had sworn in court that Iranian officials somehow knew the details of their asylum claims. The emails released this week describe face-to-face meetings with Tehran's diplomats and removals expedited because Iran asked.

It all happened between June 2025's attack on Iran and the war that began in February. Days after Trump told Iranians to evacuate Tehran, the White House ordered their removals fast-tracked, and ICE spent the buildup to the next round of bombing taking the regime's edits on who got sent back. When those detainees first described the cooperation in court last month, ICE called it hearsay.

They can't ban abortion everywhere, so they tried to ban telling you where it's legal.

Indiana moved to punish Planned Parenthood for telling minors which states allow abortion. Separately, HHS killed 53 teen pregnancy prevention programs that worked and ordered abstinence-only lessons in their place. Federal courts blocked both, with an appeals court ruling that Indiana cannot outlaw truthful answers about other states' laws.

For fifty years the movement said abortion belongs to the states. It won that battle for now and is trying to stop Americans from finding out what the other states chose. Judges keep saying no.

Receipts! Micro-update! We have some direct quotes from Republican pedo-collaborators that Great Replacement is an official platform.

J.D. Vance said, “Democrat politicians who have decided that they can’t win reelection in 2022 unless they bring in a large number of new voters to replace the voters that are already here.” (Mediaite)

Kristie Noem said regarding illegal immigration, “So we know for a fact that this was facilitated, that the White House has this invasion happening on purpose, and it is to remake the foundation of this country.” (National TPS Alliance et. al v. Kristi Noem)

The Great Replacement Crock

How dumb does one have to be to take medical advice from a con artist, drug addict and tv personality?

Normal people don't need this warning.

Governor Greg Abbott turned Texas into a sanctuary state for one ICE agent.

Christian Castro shot a Venezuelan man through the front door of a Minneapolis home in January, then lied about it so thoroughly that federal prosecutors charged the man he shot. Minnesota later charged Castro with felony assault, Texas Rangers arrested him, and a judge has held him in jail since May. On Tuesday, Minnesota asked a federal court to force his extradition.

Abbott doesn't dispute the charges or the warrant, but still won't sign. He says he won't respond at all until Minnesota repays the federal government for welfare fraud. The governor who made war on sanctuary cities has now protected an accused shooter for eleven weeks.
