VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump expected to tap Marco Rubio for Secretary of State

Project Unloaded takes on America's deadly, toxic gun culture
Project Unloaded: We don’t have to wait four more years to take on gun violence. Project Unloaded is taking on gun culture today — and you can too. To stop gun violence, we must change gun laws — and gun culture. The gun industry has sold us on the myth that guns make us safer. They’ve made millions — while Americans have paid with their lives. The truth is that homes with guns have twice as many homicides as homes without firearms. Gun suicides are three times as likely in homes with a gun. It's going to take all of us to change America's toxic gun culture, and it starts with you. Will you add your name and pledge to live your life unloaded?

Trump’s new "border czar" tells Democrats to "get the hell out of the way"

Judge set to rule on whether to scrap Trump’s conviction in hush money case
New York Judge Juan M. Merchan, who presided over Donald Trump’s historic porn star hush money trial, is due to decide Tuesday whether to undo the MAGA cult leader's conviction because of a US Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity — and because accountability and the rule of law are little more than mirages when it comes to the ruling class. Rules for thee, not for me!

How Trump won and where we go from here
No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen: Woof.

Democrat Ruben Gallego defeats Kari Lake in Arizona Senate race
Oh, hey, a little good news! We're very much looking forward to seeing what impact Ruben Gallego will have on the US Senate — almost as much as knowing Kari Lake will have ZERO say in that very same chamber. Good riddance.

Trump picks former Rep. Lee Zeldin to be his EPA administrator
Just about all you need to know about MAGA loyalist Lee Zeldin can be summed up in his lifetime environmental scorecard from the League of Conservation Voters — a stunning 14%. Sounds like the *perfect* pick to lead Donald Trump's Environmental ~~Destruction~~ Protection Agency.
