Rescue workers have spent the night searching the site of yesterday’s building collapse, working under extremely dangerous conditions to find and save anyone who may still be trapped.
I am heartbroken that eight New Yorkers have now lost their lives and at least 17 have been injured, including three firefighters.
There are no words for a loss of this magnitude. My heart is with the families and loved ones of those we have lost, those who are injured and everyone grieving today.
Rescue operations are ongoing. Please stay clear of the area and keep those affected, and our first responders risking their lives in these efforts, in your thoughts.
If you are unable to reach someone you believe may have been affected by the collapse, please call 311. If you are outside New York City, call 212-639-9675
The moment Trump is removed or ends his presidency those monuments need to be torn down.

Trump’s 90,000-square-foot ballroom is nearly the size of TWO football playing fields.
The ballroom, the arch—these aren’t monuments one man gets to impose on America. National monuments should reflect national consensus, not one man’s ego.
And that’s exactly why they won’t outlast him.

The Major Richard Star Act ends the so called “wounded veteran tax,” an unfair reduction in retirement pay for combat-injured veterans.
House Republicans refused to put this legislation on the floor without making cuts to other veterans’ benefits. So Democrats went around them and got it passed anyway.
It’s beyond time our veterans get the compensation they deserve, and I’m proud to have supported the bill’s passage.

🚨 Virginia Giuffre’s brother says that Trump’s DOJ is STILL withholding 3 MILLION additional Epstein documents.
Katie Phang walks through thousands of volumes of released files, exposing massive redactions and asking: “How is this transparency? This isn’t transparency.”

Trump dumping his Nvidia stock a few weeks before this Chinese spy story dropped is the least shocking thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life.
Straight to jail.
Cindy Hyde-Smith you’re a racist sit down and shut up.
Mississippi Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith on election night:
“I blocked Scott Colom from being a judge, and you blocked him from being a senator.”
Hyde-Smith went on to say:
“And Kamala Harris learned a lesson that we may not quite enjoy her company in Mississippi. I think she learned that.”

Anti-gay Christian zealot Kim Davis says she can’t pay the $565,000 she owes to the same-sex couple she discriminated against.
But a federal judge says she's hiding her inheritance and assets.
He's demanding she explain herself. Or else.

I’m no fan of Pete Hegseth.
But I will defend his constitutional right to be prosecuted and thrown in prison for his war crimes.

Chips, Lies, and Intelligence Leaks: Is This Donald Trump's Watergate?
Watergate started in June 1972 as what the White House tried to brush off as a "third-rate burglary" at the Democratic National Committee headquarters — before relentless reporters and congressional investigators blew the lid off a sprawling executive branch cover-up. Today's scandal is following that exact same explosive playbook.
What began as whispered reports of a personal entanglement between former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Megaspeed executive Alice Huang has mushroomed into a multi-committee congressional firestorm.
Now, lawmakers are digging into compromised U.S. export controls, buried intelligence briefings, and backroom executive branch deals — implicating Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Donald J. Trump, the most corrupt president in American history.

DID TRUMP HAVE INSIDER KNOWLEDGE
It's now being reported that Donald Trump sold $1M in Nvidia stock back in August... right before the " Chinese affair" story broke.
Did he know something the rest of the public didnt?
Your Thoughts

Todd Blanche suggests that perhaps Alice Huang isn't really a spy after all and says he has no concerns about Lutnick's alleged involvement in the Nvidia scandal
(they are circling the wagons!)

This is, of course, absolute nonsense.
🚨 Stephen Miller says the scale of welfare fraud is SO MASSIVE that eliminating it alone could balance the ENTIRE federal budget
"The amount that has been fleeced from us is in the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars."
"We could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them."
This should infuriate EVERY taxpayer.

Listen to this unthinkable horror.
This is the hell that Trump and Putin have wrought.

I’ll continue to investigate who’s responsible for disrupting Starshield service—including the potential threat to our national security of our reliance on Musk’s system.
