Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.

Kimmel Goes Nuclear on Newsmax Host for Trying to Get Him Fired β€œHow does this not embarrass them?” Kimmel asked of the network.

It would be cool if prominent figures and journalists aggressively called out right wing propagandists instead of routinely leaving the task to late night comedians and satirists

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.

They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse, who tried to overthrow an election. And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for. All of it.

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

Two stooges: Larry Fine with Ron Asheton, who liked to hang out together in the 70s.
