Over the past seven months, when he wasn't urging Americans to dress spiffier at the airport, Duffy has apparently been taking in the purple mountain majesties with his wife and children, on a quest to create content that "pushes back on Marxist narratives" about the U.S. The resultingtravelogue, The Great American Road Trip, will premiere on YouTube next month, just in time for the country's 250th birthday bonanza.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is using my artwork without permission ... What should I do ... Since the other party is so large, I'm honestly at a loss.

Iran has "no navy, no communications, they've got no air force. Their missiles are down to a scatter. Their drones are being blown up all over the place, including their manufacturing of drones," Trump said, describing Iran's military degradation following US military strikes.

We demand that the amateurs in control of the ICE social media account take it down. It ain't funny, this song means a lot to us and other people, and you don't get to appropriate it without a fight. Also, go f- yourselves... Radiohead

Because of you, I decided my voice does matter, Rodriguez told the candidate and the crowd. You're not spewing hate. You're speaking truths in a compassionate way and that just resonates with me.

Documents released by the Department of Justice revealed that on the very day Epstein was arrested on charges of sex trafficking in July 2019, he was texting with Bannon about the aforementioned documentary. A few months before that, Bannon advised Epstein: First we need to push back on the lies ; then crush the pedo/trafficking narrative ; then rebuild your image as a philanthropist.

"The IOC fully understands the desire of athletes to remember friends who lost their lives in that conflict," IOC spokesman Mark Adams told a news conference on Tuesday. "He has done that in training and on social media he has expressed his feelings but what we have said is this helmet contravenes the ... guidelines," he added. Skeleton racer to wear black armband Ukraine's Olympic Committee on Tuesday asked the IOC to allow Heraskevych to wear the "helmet of remembrance" at the Milano-Cortina Games.

Ocasio gave his new Grammy to a little boy, seemingly meant to portray a younger version of himself; and everyone got a crash course in American geography. In the final part of his performance, Bad Bunny picked up a football inscribed with the logo, "Together We Are America," and shouted, "God bless America," before listing every country on the North American continent while the jumbotron behind him displayed the message, "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE."

The Real Time and Club Random host agreed, warning Democrats race-based opposition to the voter ID bill will bit you in the a** as polling shows support for such efforts. A Pew Research Center survey released in 2025 found 83% back voter ID requirements. Not everything is primarily a racial issue. It has racial overtones as does everything in this country. But yes, you're right it's foolish to make it about that, Maher said.

After the past fortnight in which Labour's internal bickering has once again distracted attention from government decisions that will affect real lives, it's worth remembering how Keir Starmer briefly lifted his party's gaze from its own navel to a higher purpose a few months ago. That was back in September, the previous occasion when Andy Burnham's name was being bandied around,

Why does the president keep doing things that are against his political self-interest? Why has he ignored the reality that the midterms will be decided not only by how much his base is energized but by whether Republicans carry independents and soft partisans? Mr. Trump is missing chances to draw critical swing voters the GOP's way. He could be driving some to vote Democratic.

A helicopter flies low across the water at night before heavily armed figures rappel to the ground, take their positions and break down a door. It's not a trailer for a movie, a video game or a recap of a Pentagon operation. Instead, it's a video from the Department of Homeland Security showcasing Border Patrol agents at work. Despite the combative visuals, it is captioned with the Bible verse, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."

Last week, two fonts became the unlikely stars of a political messaging firestorm, after the Trump administration replaced Calibri as its official diplomatic font in favor of Times New Roman, claiming that an initial shift to Calibri in 2023 was part of former President Biden's "DEIA" agenda. The implication was clear: Calibri was framed as a liberal, Democratic font; while Times New Roman took its place as the Trump administration's more conservative choice.

One of the great mysteries about the rise of populism, in both the United States and Europe, is why it has benefited the political right so much more than the left. For years, American progressives have been trying to get people worked up over rising rates of economic inequality, with the expectation that this anger could fuel greater support for the Democratic Party.

Well, I'll tell you what. If I were his advisers, his political advisers, the people who actually go out and poll and do these things, I would be cringing watching this whole day unfold, because this was an exercise in denial. You know what his plus, plus, plus, plus, plus [is]? That's people looking at their bills. That's how they feel. You cannot jawbone people into feeling what their life experience is telling them isn't true.

Unlike most humans, he appears never to waste a moment indulging self doubts, examining his navel, back-tracking, or apologizing. His supreme confidence in his own judgment inspires confidence in others who share his views and aspirations. And even when he's wrong, his refusal to ever admit it provides a certain level of assurance to those who are counting on him to be right.

allegedly told a concocted story to FBI agents, saying she was attacked on July 23 around 10 p.m. by three men who called her names while she was walking with a friend on a nature trail near Atlantic City. Two of the men restrained her on the ground, she said, binding her ankles together with zip ties as they struck her in the head and cut her with a sharp object all over her body.

Fans of the Buddy Holly crosswalk in his hometown of Lubbock, Texas, with a painted depiction of the rock and roll legend's iconic glasses, will soon have to say goodbye to it. That'll be a day that will possibly make them cry. Lubbock City Council members said this week they have no choice but to remove it, to comply with a directive from the Trump administration and Republicans to rid the public roadways of any political messages or artwork.

The convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein apparently served as a behind-the-scenes adviser to the former Trump official and Maga influencer Steve Bannon during an August 2018 media campaign to defend Trump and his agenda, and to promote Bannon's media ventures. Text messages released by the House oversight committee on Wednesday detail a six-day exchange between the men from 17 to 23 August, and show Epstein coaching Bannon on television appearances and political messaging.

A lot of the crowd were seniors, almost all white in our blue state, decked out in tie-dye for the women, gray ponytails for the men, and bandannas for the dogs. To them he was Donny Dementia, Impotus, Orange Man, Mango Mussolini, the Lying King, Cheeto Benito, Comrade tRump, and many more unprintable here. Back in the day, many of these same elderly marchers could only come up with "Tricky Dick" for Richard Nixon. Progress is real.

This Time I Mean It Down to Be Memed The Tariffs Weren't as Bad as People Expected, and Also I Wasn't Involved Laura Loomer Won't Get Access Not in the Epstein Files, I Don't Think Protecting Democracy from the Inside, Kinda We Had Some Wins-We Didn't Go to War with Uruguay! I Grew Up Poor Don't Worry, My Supporters Aren't Nearly as Passionate as His

On a recent panel of progressive activists analyzing what went wrong in the 2024 election, the author, activist, and failed political candidate Qasim Rashid spoke with confidence about the way forward for the Democratic Party. The problem, he insisted, was not that Democrats had strayed too far from public opinion but that the party had grown too solicitous of it. "Saying the right thing timidly," he proclaimed, "is less effective than saying the wrong thing loudly."
