A win! A federal judge just blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to overhaul a HUD program that funds nonprofits fighting housing discrimination. The changes would have redirected funding and left many fair housing groups competing for far fewer grants.

Google Maps has officially caved and changed the map.

Does Trump have to destroy and kill things everywhere he goes, every single day? More than 60 trees have now been cut down at the historic East Potomac Golf Links in Washington, D.C. as Trump pushes ahead with

Well, this is fun. 😂 Ottawa, Canada, is considering renaming Trump Avenue, and two of the top contenders are “Obama Avenue” and “Taco Avenue.” 🇨🇦

ICE plans to spend as much as $2 million on Boston Dynamics robot “dogs” for ICE operations. Because apparently what immigration enforcement was missing was robot dogs.

A real “I didn’t think the leopards would eat MY face” moment. lol. Milo Yiannopoulos, the self-described libertarian and professional internet troll who built a career around controversial right-wing politics, is now in ICE custody.

The Trump administration is considering giving a private developer access to land inside Yosemite National Park so they can build a road to an 83-acre property they want to develop right outside the park. The National Park Service already rejected the same request years ago, and the previous

Thanks to everyone who joined the March on Washington! ✊

Going to be honest, after MapQuest refused to change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario, we looked them up thinking we might have to print out directions like the old days. 😂

A huge win! Now that USPS finalized its rule and created actual harm, a federal judge tonight blocked the Postal Service regulation that would have given the agency new control over mail-in ballots.

WTG MapQuest! ✊

So while MAGA is out celebrating “Lake America,” let’s look at what Trump actually erased with this rename.

Trump did sign Executive Order 14420 directing the federal government to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America.” The order tells Interior and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to make the change in federal geographic databases and requires federal agencies to use the new name.

What a circus. 🤡

The Trump administration’s Department of Education has now deleted its post that compared Donald Trump to Hitler.

The Trump administration is trying to change what science is allowed to be taught, and now a West Point professor who taught there for 17 years says he is being pushed out after speaking up about it.

Awe, this is heartbreaking. This is 5-year-old Liam Tadeo. ICE plans to deport him, tearing him away from his mother. He has spent the last few days detained with his father at the Dilley, TX detention center, a facility that has faced serious allegations of abuse, neglect, and terrible conditions.

Well, that was quick. 24 Democratic-led states and D.C. just sued to block the USPS’s new mail-voting rule, which was officially published today. The rule comes directly from Trump’s anti-mail voting EO and gives USPS new power over how mail ballot requests are handled ahead of the midterms.

A setback for mail voting ahead of the midterms. A federal judge in Boston lifted her nationwide block on parts of Trump’s mail-in voting restrictions, temporarily clearing the way for the administration to start implementing them.

A win for voting rights in Ohio! A federal judge just blocked Ohio from enforcing a new rule requiring people to provide documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote at a motor vehicle bureau.

Well, the Trump administration’s EPA found a simple way to stop hearing from the public just eliminate the requirement to ask them. The EPA is scrapping public notice and comment requirements for air pollution permits on new data centers and the power plants needed to run them.

Happy 110th birthday to the National Park Service! And thank you to everyone who has taken action this week to support and defend our parks.

Lol! Love you, Canada. 🇨🇦

Trump threatened to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America.” He is so ridiculous. Canada knows these performative name changes won’t last. The second Trump is out of office, the names he’s tried to force on everything will be changed right back.

Air Force Maj. Jason Watson, who publicly called for Donald Trump’s impeachment twice on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, is now facing criminal charges under military law.

This is absolutely wild. USPS is defending new restrictions on mail voting by comparing ballots to other types of “sensitive mail,” including replica explosives and cremated remains.

The new rule would require states to use specific ballot markings and unique barcodes,

Our national parks are already severely understaffed. They’ve lost roughly a quarter of their permanent workforce since Trump returned to office, and the people who remain are being asked to do more with less every single day.

This is terrible. The Supreme Court’s 6–3 conservative majority just handed Trump an early win in his effort to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterms, lifting a lower-court order that had blocked key parts of his executive order in 23 states.

This is stock market manipulation. Truth Social is now selling companies faster access to Trump’s posts, which can move markets in seconds. The company launched the service earlier this month, allowing paying firms to receive his posts more quickly than ordinary users.
