Donald Trump's immigration policies, whether modifying birthright citizenship or conducting mass deportations, are not moderate policies. These extreme agenda items should be rebuked by Democrats. We need a strong moderate opposition.

President Trump’s federal hiring freeze has forced VA hospitals around the nation to stop hiring workers. Veterans need healthcare and the VA needs people to meet the demand. They deserve better.

The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research! That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

#MarkCuban is right. I have two college boys and they didn't care about this election. Last time they lived under #Trump was 4 years ago. That's nearly a quarter of their life. They prefer to watch the world in 10 second clips. This is how you reach them.

The first Trump Administration imposed nearly $80 billion dollars in new taxes on Americans via tariffs, and the long-run trade-off, according to the Tax Foundation, will be a decline of 0.2% in G.D.P. and a loss of roughly 142,000 jobs.

This is as I suspected. Just no way Vance & Bondi would be freelancing in their public proclamations that you can't pardon violent offenders. So that was the provisional plan until Trump switched gears "F--k it: Release 'em all": Why Trump embraced broad Jan. 6 pardons www.axios.com/2025/01/22/t...

It’s never good when you make an insanely stupid argument to a smart federal judge who thinks your argument is so insanely stupid that he questions your ethics.

I don’t actually think Trump wants to govern. He ran for president to stay out of jail, not because he cares about anyone but himself. Governing is hard and he will spend as much time as possible golfing in Florida. Keep fighting. He’s a lame duck loser.

Today, President Trump rescinded Executive Order 14087 signed by former President Biden in October 2022. What did Executive Order 14087 do? It lowered drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid—working class Americans. This only benefits big pharma.
