Donald Trump owes American families a refund.

How is it that after all these years, PBS is still taking Trump admin propaganda statements at face value? It should be “…aggressive campaign that claims to improve safety, etc.” Then throw in that “others say it’s really about anti-immigrant racism.” Just like that, closer to reality.

Washington Republicans spent years lecturing America about the national debt. Now Trump’s policies are blowing a hole in the budget and putting us on track for $64 TRILLION in debt within a decade. Not because we had to, but because he chose to.

There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over. I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.

ICE is still endangering people in the Twin Cities: "Multiple agents in both cars ... When they ID patrollers, we honked and whistled them away. Then they drove off in separate directions and made several illegal driving moves to evade commuters from following them."

We know this in part because WE JUST WENT THROUGH IT. People spent years attacking Biden with complete reckless abandon, and excusing it by saying "We'll of course rally everyone back in 2024." It didn't happen! The miserable reputation you had created dragged us into oblivion.

James Talarico: The reason the Trump administration and their billionaire friends are trying to silence me and this movement is because they’re worried that we are going to flip Texas in November. We are building a movement to take back our state and take back our country.

When corporate media obeys in advance, authoritarianism wins & the truth loses. This cowardice from CBS — & the Admin's weaponization of the FCC — threatens our 1st Amendment rights. We must not be silent as corporations keep bowing down to Trump. We must call them out.

place themselves at odds with our responsibility to represent the electorate and the views of the majority of Americans, who find the genocide in Gaza an appalling affront to American values and do not want to see US taxpayer funded weapons used to perpetuate it.

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

Fetterman proudly declared he would vote for restrictions on financial aid to Americans but would never vote for restrictions on financial aid to Israel. He did this on Fox News. he is purportedly a Democrat
