Fair enough.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Feelings aren’t facts, Karoline. Remind your boss.

NEW: Idaho became the latest state this week to push back against the DOJ’s attempt to access states’ unredacted voter data.

But the Gem State isn’t alone — the tide is beginning to turn, with the effort even sparking opposition from some Trump supporters. https://bit.ly/4cwKV55

The "leader of the free world" is a 6 year old boy.

Those who don’t learn from history…

$217 billion a year is enough to reverse Trump's Medicaid and SNAP cuts AND fund the enhanced premium tax credits that Trump let expire.

A free press requires independent media.

If allowed, the Ellisons would have a stake in CBS news, TikTok + CNN.

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.

Reckless and avoidable, yes. Also, unethical, unnecessary, and foolhardy.

Trump's reckless & avoidable war on Iran and it has already cost taxpayers more than $5 BILLION.

$5 BILLION down the drain in less than a week on a war Americans don’t want.

But somehow we don't have money for health care or housing.

Maybe I’m too demanding but I’d really like a definitive answer on why the United States started a war in Iran and what we are trying to accomplish.

Yeah, right. Utter hogwash.

A GOP-led House committee voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to explain her role in the DOJ’s incomplete release of the Epstein Files.

“The American people want answers on the Epstein files, and so do we,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who introduced the motion, said.

Rep. Mark Alford on spiking gas prices: "I think we all know that when you have a kinetic conflict like this -- whether you want to call it a war or not -- it is going to take a little bit of sacrifice on the part of Americans"

Senate Democrat to Investigate Noem for Perjury Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said on Thursday evening that he would press for a perjury investigation into Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary whom President Trump fired hours earlier, the ...

This is a start, but there also needs to be a criminal investigation. Senator Richard Blumenthal said he plans to push for a perjury investigation into Kristi Noem.

What a nightmare. The U.S. economy has been shedding jobs overall since April 2025. From May 2025 through February 2026, the net change in employment is now -19,000 jobs.

Trump's War If Trump campaigned as a President of peace, he has governed as the opposite

Trump was just asked if Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks by Iran within the United States:

“I guess… Like I said, some people will die.”

Given Trump’s declining mental state, this is doubly worrisome.

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

Over 160 schoolgirls are dead. Anthropic and Palantir executives must immediately testify and tell the public whether their AI is responsible.
