Stop sugarcoating the unhinged actions of that immature, mentally unstable, reckless clown in the Oval Office.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yikes, this is really true and so horrifying

Citizens United amounts to legalized bribery – plain and simple.

This fake-Christian twerp is such a shameless liar.

The entire Republican Party has lined up solidly behind a would-be fascist dictator with a narcissistic psychopathic personality disorder. But the real problem is that Democrats spent too long backing a president who often looked and sounded old.

Republicans are trying to kick 13.7 million more people off of their health insurance – all to give tax cuts to some of the wealthiest people and corporations in the country.

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”

They work for us. They need to answer for the decisions they make, not run away from questions.

It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.

"The local police arrived to prevent the community from protecting their neighbor from an unlawful kidnapping. They succeeded, and in the process arrested two of the people who tried to stop it." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

When I voted for Trump, I had no idea that he would do so many of the things that he said he would do.

#ConvictedFelonDonaldTrump is the worst president in history.

"Paramount Set to Pay Mobster After Shakedown for Protection Money."

The VA Servicing Purchase program has helped about 20,000 veterans avoid foreclosure. But Republicans in Congress have been critical of the program, saying it puts too much taxpayer money at risk.

"No president has ever accomplished these things in his first 100 days. Nice."

After Abrego Garcia was deported, the administration initially scrambled to try to figure out how to bring him home, admitting that his alleged gang ties were tenuous, at best. Then the negative coverage started and they decided the fight would be a political win. Disgusting.

Looking forward to the Fox News goons taking that 2-year old down a few pegs. “That infant is no angel, despite what the libs want you to believe. Did you know she cried a lot? I heard she’s not even potty trained. Disgusting.”

Because the framers of the Constitution referred explicitly only to men, no authority can lawfully restrain Pam Bondi from organizing a terrorist police state. by Jonathan Turley

We need the best educated workforce in the world. We need the best teachers in the world. We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do. No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

So the “apocalyptic hellscape” of California kicked in $83 billion MORE to the federal government than it got back, while the “freedom-loving superstate” of Texas took a whopping $89 billion in federal funds. Funny how that works.

Is it okay for judges to be arrested by the FBI? It depends on their political beliefs.

Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration. This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power. It is time for my colleagues in the Republican Party to stand up to his growing authoritarianism.

They can afford to pay taxes! We can't afford to let them keep buying elections.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.
