Today at the Oval Office: Incompetence cannot be remedied through prayer or wishful thinking.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as β€˜violent perpetrators’

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions.

β€˜Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, β€˜If it can happen to me, i...

What a nightmare! That’s why I haven’t been travelling to the U.S. since Trump was elected, and still don’t plan to.

U.S. tourism is suffering. It will take DECADES for the U.S. to recover from the reputational damage Trump has inflicted on his country.

Who needs electoral legitimacy? Trump’s authoritarian ambitions go global. His new β€œBoard of Peace” carries $1 billion membership fee. Trump is the chairman β€” not just while he's president, but for life! He can invite new countries to join or expel others.

Good news for Trump before midterms: he’s still more popular than cockroaches Trump’s disapproval rating indicates he’s less popular with Americans than some insects like ants. Will it mean anything in November?

What about slugs? Are slugs more popular than Trump? How about bedbugs? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

FCC Chair Brendan Carr tried to prevent James Talarico from appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Colbert just put the interview on YouTube, which Carr can't control. Hasn't worked out well for Carr/Trump. In 12 hours there have been 1,248,699 views. #Colbert #Comedy #JamesTalarico

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.
