A new report from the Joint Economic Committee found that small businesses have lost over 366,000 jobs since the President took office. We need to reverse the tariff taxes and fight for policies that lift small businesses up, not leave them behind.

Something that I think is really important to highlight here: Congress fully funded Head Start. The Trump administration legally has to send that money out to programs. It's not. prospect.org/health/2025-...

Which Trump officials will be on Fox today blaming Biden for stuff when they should be doing actual work for the American people at their agencies? At this point, taxpayers are just paying the salaries for a bunch of daily Fox contributors.

This is dead right--we do have a mad king problem, and notwithstanding the 25th Amendment and the Impeachment Clause, have abandoned any mechanism for dealing with it. The situation is so bizarrely anomalous for constitutional and republican government that the whole system is failing.

It really tells you everything you need to know about the Democratic Party that they can't go after Trump for the most blatant corruption scandal in the history of the presidency because some of them are in bed with the same corruption coin guys.

Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., is outraged that a House cafeteria is replacing Steak n Shake with a Pakistani restaurant. To Collins, it’s “equivalent to the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem in the 7th century.” I don't think he’s joking. (Better not tell him Steak n Shake is owned by an Iranian American.)

He went to Carter’s funeral and acted like a petulant child and lashed out at the bishop and now he has gone to the pope’s funeral and is doing this. He cannot stand good men who people look up to for having compassion so he needs to mock them. And to destroy religion because there can only be him.
