We are facing a crisis of impunity. That's why we built The Rule of Law Project — to investigate unlawful conduct by federal officials, and work with state and local prosecutors to hold them to account. Watch former DOJ prosecutor Mark Blumberg and human rights leader Brad Adams launch this critical accountability initiative on MSNOW with Nicolle Wallace.

Bombshell: Greg Abbott’s senior team met secretly with Big Tech two days before the state made it easier and faster for data centers to connect to Texas’s electrical grid. In Greg Abbott’s Texas, billionaires come first and Texans come last.

The average price of a gallon of gas nationwide is now a $1.29 higher than before the start of the Iran war. Despite voters' concerns, President Trump continues to tout how much money big oil companies are making because of it. Our opening tonight:

First it was selling public beaches to Elon, now it’s handing the Texas power grid over to Big Tech. Abbott took $9M from data center special interests — $2.8M of it after promising to freeze grid approvals. Two days after a closed-door meeting with OpenAI, Google, and Meta, state officials miraculously fast-tracked their power lines. #DemsUnited Watch Hinojosa expose the scam ⬇️

If you’re a Trumpster, it’s wise not to attempt to debate Mehdi Hasan, because he’ll make you look an idiot. Case in point: 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZGdCKxgm1/

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect. "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. 'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." Credit to: Jim Keller

Chip Franklin: “Trump is panicking which doesn’t go along well with his mental illness. Americans have ad enough of this cockwaffle. The reason Trump is panicking is because the halls and auditoriums are half empty. What specifically is freaking Trump out? The protesters screaming about the war, inflation, Epstein, and the graft and incredible corruption”

Unfortunately, a lot of vendors get caught up in situations like this with wealthy individuals or companies who don't pay their bills. Trump famously doesn't pay his bills & bankrupted vendors.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fox News just highlighted how Donald Trump's policies just created the largest jump in inflation since May. This is the WORST possible news for Republicans ahead of the midterms. Spread it everywhere.
