Nebraska Dems: Don’t fall for the fake candidate put up by the GOP. Vote for independent Dan Osborne for Senate! They're trying to cheat by fooling enough voters. Don't be one of them.

Ashli Babbitt’s family filed a baseless lawsuit and received a generous check from Trump's DOJ.

Michael Flynn also filed a baseless lawsuit and also received a generous check from Trump's DOJ.

Is it any wonder why Jan. 6 rioters are lining up for their taxpayer-financed payoff?

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

Let’s be clear. Deploying ICE at polling places is intended to intimidate racial minorities who are U.S. citizens from voting.
And 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits military or civil officials from stationing troops or armed personnel at polling locations, unless necessary to repel armed enemies

"Democrats refused to fund ICE, then refused to fund ICE, kept refusing to fund ICE, and got to remind the public over and over that the GOP appears to hate TSA workers and wants everyone in every airport to suffer for absolutely nothing. When you fight, you can win — not everything, obviously, but more than you could if you give up. It’s a lesson Democrats, in Congress and out, should take to heart."
