The man at the helm of the Democratic Party’s main organizing apparatus is beginning to crack under pressure, according to insiders.

Nestled in a New York Times story about the Democratic National Committee’s dire financials was the mention of an incident between chair Ken Martin, a junior aide and a cell phone. Martin, who is contending with $2 million of DNC debt and a shrinking list of allies, reportedly threw his phone “in a pique of frustration” earlier this month.

Although the Times spoke with half a dozen people familiar with the incident, none witnessed it firsthand. There was also some contention over “how aggressively the phone was tossed,” and whether it was aimed at the desk or the aide. However, the incident sparked a formal complaint to the DNC’s human resources department.

Revoking an immigrant's citizenship has proven to be a costly and controversial practice over the years, but the Trump administration says hundreds of people deserve to have their citizenship stripped anyway.

The plan calls for ramping up the previously rare denaturalization process as a part of a broader immigration enforcement agenda, expanding a practice President Donald Trump started in his first term.

So far, the Justice Department has moved to revoke the citizenship of nearly 90 people since the start of 2025. By October, the government is aiming to file at least 250 denaturalization cases in federal court.

Under federal law, the government can ask a judge to revoke the citizenship of someone who obtained it through fraud or misrepresentation – such as using a false identity or concealing a disqualifying criminal record during the naturalization process.

At its current rate, the administration is on pace to pursue more denaturalization cases than any other in recent modern American history. By comparison, the Biden administration brought 24 cases over four years, while the government filed 102 denaturalization cases during Trump's first term, according to the DOJ.

Revoking citizenship? They're saying this was because of fraud, but that is inching extremely close to just revoking citizenship from anyone. Hell, I'm sure the fraud stuff is suspect with at leasr a few of those people.

Revoking citizenship from people such that theyre left stateless is a fast track to getting brought in front of the Hague because it violates the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. In fact, this is one of the leadups to a genocide.

The Nazi camps originally started out as deportation camps. When they couldn't find anywhere to send the people from there, the solution evolved into the Final Solution at the Wannsee Conference.

Hey Republicans, if you resent being called Nazis so much, stop doing Nazi shit!

The suspect in the deadly Berlin Pride attack that left one person dead and 29 injured was shot and killed by police during a confrontation on Sunday in a suburb of the city, authorities said.

Abdul Ballout, a German citizen with Lebanese roots, was killed following a search that lasted nearly 24 hours after the attack in downtown Berlin. Prosecutors said he had previously sought to join the militant Islamic State group.

Ballout was suspected of driving a van into a crowd near Berlin’s Pride festival Saturday night before apparently stabbing others with a machete in what authorities believe was an Islamic extremist terror attack.

Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the attack occurred a few hundred meters (yards) from a party near the Brandenburg Gate that was supposed to close out the city’s Pride festival.

Ballout was tracked down around 6 p.m. Sunday at a garden in Spandau, a Berlin suburb, the city’s police department wrote on X. They said he apparently ran toward officers with a sharp instrument, and police fired at least one shot. He died at the scene.

Ballout was born in Germany, the minister said. His mother was naturalized in 2002, three years before he was born.

As a striking Fox News poll suggests the GOP midterm position is deteriorating, a voting rights expert walks us through what Trump is really gearing up to attempt this fall—and how to defeat it.

Donald Trump exploded at Senate GOP leader John Thune during a Wednesday rally, demanding that Republicans pass voter suppression legislation immediately. This prompted an angry response from Thune, which in turn triggered MAGA rage in response. It’s no accident that this comes amid new polls showing the GOP midterm position deteriorating, including in a major Fox News survey. Trump thinks voter suppression can save the party. This is all coming to a head because the House just passed something, and the pressure on the Senate is getting brutal.

This whole situation has gotten weird and complex

President Donald Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt had a one-word answer about whether the White House would intervene in the UK extradition case against the former manosphere Maga heroes, Andrew and Tristan Tate.

“No.”

These two letters spell out the extent to which Trump’s reputation has been damaged by his association with the late paedophile Jeffery Epstein. The President can’t afford to spend his depleted political capital defending a pair of alleged sex abusers.

My one word: Ha!

After commenting on her expressions, Trump attempted to deliver a roast-style joke that was met with silence from the crowd, comparing her to trans actress Dylan Mulvaney in a three-year-old ad campaign.

“I thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship,” he said, “but then I informed her that it wasn’t her on the Bud Light can, it was Dylan Mulvaney.”

Mulvaney, now 29, briefly collaborated with Bud Light in 2023, posting a short video to her social media during March Madness that featured cans of the light beer. The innocuous brand partnership was quickly amplified by far-right figures, and Trump ally Kid Rock helped lead a boycott of Bud Light and its parent company, Anheuser-Busch, for working with a trans person at a time when Republican politicians had been making anti-trans attacks a major part of the party’s platform.

Backlash from conservatives over Bud Light’s perceived “wokeness” led to a significant decline in sales for the beer brand, which is still recovering from the financial fallout years later. As of early 2024, Anheuser-Busch had lost $27 billion in market value.

President Donald Trump did not take kindly to being asked whether he believed bombing civilian power plants and bridges would constitute war crimes after he threatened to do just that in Iran.

The president, 80, was taking questions from reporters in the Oval Office when he was asked about his threat this week on Truth Social.

“You’re talking about blowing up civilian power plants and bridges. Much of the civilized world would consider that a war crime. Do you?” the reporter asked Trump point blank.

The president paused for a moment before deciding it was probably best not to answer the question at all, which had clearly annoyed him.

“Uhhh, I won’t respond to that question,” Trump said before demanding to know which outlet the reporter worked for.

“The New York Times,” the reporter responded.

“I figured so; the failing New York Times,” Trump said before turning away.

HE ordered the targeting of civilians (remember the girls school?) and civilian infrastructure. War criminals are held to account. If you don't wanna be a war criminal held to account, stop doing war crimes.

Heritage Foundation staffer was stopped from entering a Senate office building after authorities say they found ammunition and suspected drugs in his briefcase.

Matthew Christopher Wingate was detained by Capitol Police on July 14 after allegedly attempting to pass through security at the Russell Senate Office Building.

According to court records obtained by NOTUS, an X-ray scan of his bag revealed what appeared to be a pistol magazine, prompting officers to carry out a further search.

Hunter Biden (someone holding no office or officia position) might have drugs? The media loses their mind. But, a MAGAt gets found with drugs and ammo in the Capitol? Hardly a whisper

During last fall’s government shutdown, the Trump administration started cutting energy grants to states, but the only states that were seriously affected were ones Donald Trump lost in the 2024 election. At the time, officials in the affected states accused the White House of “mafioso tactics” and brazenly abusing its powers by politicizing grant decisions that are supposed to be based on merit.

Team Trump was initially dismissive of the claims. Russell Vought, the White House budget director who terminated hundreds of grants, insisted that he was simply paring back Biden-era federal grants that the White House considered wasteful because as Vought put it, they were part of a “Green New Scam” — whatever that was supposed to mean.

It wasn’t long, however, before that posture started evolving.

In December, for example, the Republican administration’s lawyers made no real effort to deny the underlying allegations, instead arguing in a court filing that it’s “constitutionally permissible” to consider partisan politics when distributing (or canceling) federal funds.

This week, Team Trump gave up the game, effectively admitting in a legal filing that the “mafioso tactics” claims were correct all along.

Officials became convinced by FDA’s findings, and gave the agency the green light to make them public

Representatives for produce giant Taylor Farms contacted the White House with an urgent plea: the company wanted to delay announcing a recall tied to one of the largest foodborne illness outbreaks in U.S. history.

The call, during which the company asked for more proof and more time before being linked to the outbreak, illustrates how one of the country’s largest produce suppliers sought to limit its exposure to a public-relations nightmare, while grappling with a costly and complicated recall. Over the past several weeks, health officials have been scrambling to contain the outbreak of cyclospora, which can cause explosive diarrhea. Some current and former government officials have criticized the handling of the outbreak, both by the administration and Taylor Farms.

Donald Trump has announced he will run for president in 2028 during a rambling speech to the Washington press corps.

Trump was speaking at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner when he appeared to make the announcement.

I won three times, now I’m gonna do it again,” he said, while putting on a cap that read “Trump 2028″.

“I’m gonna do it again. It should be easy.”

He went on to add that he won in 2020 but the election was rigged.

The 80-year-old was met with a smattering of applause, but even he did not seem excited by the moment.

Over the dead body of every patriot that stands for the Constitution, which reads in pertinent part:

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice

-22nd Amendment

He seem like he's just joking to you?

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville called for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to be arrested and sent to the infamous American torture prison at Guantanamo Bay. Mamdani’s crime? Calling indicted alleged war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu an “architect of genocide,” responsible for a series of atrocities in the ongoing war on Gaza.

“Sooner or later,” Mamdani will “do something more stupid than what he’s done, where we will finally say enough is enough, go put the handcuffs on him … and send him to Gitmo,” Tuberville, a Republican, said, calling Mamdani a “thug.”
