A Memorial Day to forget. The pointed lack of respect for those who have given their all for our country is appalling. His disregard for those who currently serve and his planned military parade is an abomination.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

I don't frequently find myself in full agreement with Justice Gorsuch, but his dissent from SCOTUS' decision not to hear a case involving the destruction of a site that is sacred to Western Apaches seems to me not only legally correct, but beautifully written. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

This is misguided and dangerous. RFK Jr. is putting pregnant women and children at risk of COVID-19. This is not based on facts or science. www.cnn.com/2025/05/27/h...

This simpleminded clown has obviously been told that the "Golden Dome System," he already announced, can't happen without Canada's cooperation, a country that he has given thousands of reasons to loathe him. Donald is smart that way.

The Trump admin seems to have adopted the approach that if they just do all the criming right out in the open brazenly then nobody can accuse them of covering anything up.

On Memorial Day, I was extraordinarily honored and humbled to pay tribute to the family of SPC Grant Yohnka, who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedoms and values we hold dear today. On behalf of a grateful nation, we thank him for his service and sacrifice.

Fitzpatrick is bragging that his tax bill will raise the child tax credit, but it does so by excluding about 7.5 million children from claiming it than currently can. Let our Senators know that all our PA children deserve to benefit from the credit: Fetterman 215 241-1090 McCormick 202 224-6324

When you have to lie about what you're doing, you probably know that it's unpopular. Deporting legal residents who have committed no crimes to foreign prisons doesn't make sense to most people.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Voters overwhelmingly think ALL Americans should have access to vaccines — not just those who are immunocompromised.
