To think dinner at the White House these days means Nick Fuentes and Stephen Miller at the table, so no wonder. Can’t get more 1930’s Nazi than that. “…Fuentes has discussed the white genocide conspiracy theory. He said the term white supremacist is an "anti-white slur.”

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

The idea that a U.S. president would threaten to invade Greenland because Norway didn’t give him a Nobel Prize is pathetic. This has nothing to do with foreign policy. It’s a president acting like a narcissistic spoiled child because his feelings got hurt. Unacceptable.

Kristi Noem is a stone-cold liar who has zero credibility. There is nothing to suggest the shooting of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis was justified. This heinous killing must be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

If true this rises to the level of a war crime by Pete Hegseth. SecDef does not have immunity from war crimes. Issuing a command to “kill them all” is murder. And see how it goes for you with the next administration because no statute of limitations exists for this.

Compiling blacklists instead of answering questions is state-run media conditioning. A strong democracy meets scrutiny head-on, a brittle one fears it. It’s a test, how hard can the White House push before we push back? History is clear about one thing — first comes silence then comes compliance.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
