One of the most underreported stories of 2025 is that Trump is the first President ever to create electricity shortages on purpose. He is illegally canceling solar and wind, causing layoffs and price spikes, and the media is like “wow what a showman that guy is!”

Trump brazenly using his pardon power to free a supporter who was found guilty of helping China repress and intimidate people on American soil. Blatant corruption at the cost of US national security and values.

"The provision, tucked into a measure to fund the legislative branch, appears to immediately allow for eight GOP senators to sue over their phone records being seized in the course of the investigation by Jack Smith ... into the riot at the Capitol..."

Republicans have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at G.O.P. lawmakers’ phone records surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue for $500,000 each.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

THIS IS TRUMP’S AMERICA! A 16-year-old minor from Houston, Texas, who is a U.S. Citizen was beaten, tackled, and choked by ICE as he was heading for school. They used racial slurs against him and his father. The officers did not identify themselves or show any badge. Why are

A more informed take on the "Dollar Store Fascism" on display this week in dangerously rounding up our generals and admirals for perceived political gain than most news outlets seemed to muster.
About eleven years ago, I was closing in on my undergraduate degree at Georgetown University using my G.I. Bill benefits (thank you, American taxpayers), and I got into an argument with a fellow veteran during an evening class discussion over women in combat roles. I forget how

Soybean farmer: I get up one morning, I turn the news on and we gave $20 billion of taxpayer money to Argentina, my competition. And then the Chinese buy $12 or $14 billion worth of soybeans from the Argentinians.
