Telling the truth about the excesses of this administration is worth it. Should have done it on day one!
DJT just said he is banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House and that it was effective immediately. Can someone please tell him that we’re not in the 1930’s and this isn’t Germany?

I have a trade deficit with woman who used to own my house.
I paid her thousands of dollars for her home and she paid me nothing.
Now, all I have is a house worth thousand of dollars. I could have saved those thousands of dollars if I lived on a bench in the park. It's just simple Economics.

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law.
Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars.
History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

The Trump administration is pursuing a multipronged strategy to quash those it perceives as its ideological opponents. Part of it involves using expansive authorities meant to combat foreign terrorist groups against U.S. civil society. bit.ly/4Ak6MWP
Trump Administration Linking Its Domestic Enemies to Foreign Terrorists
Falsely claiming that U.S. citizens and groups have ties to international terrorism could let the government turn tools intended to combat the likes of ISIS against its perceived foes at home.

The corruption in this administration is astounding !
Gas prices hit $4.46 a gallon today — a gain of 17 cents over the previous week and $1.26 higher than the same point last year.
Diesel prices are up more than $2.74 from a year ago.
Families, farmers, and truckers are all getting squeezed.

Looks like Iran has held all the cards from the very beginning of this illegal disastrous war. The orange felon and drunkard rapist fox host should be in jail.

This is straight out of Handmaids Tale.
A high school trying to force girls to disclose the dates and lengths of their menstrual cycle.
Don’t comply? You lose a grade.
There’s absolutely no reason a school needs this information other than to exert control over our bodies.

This victory will help ensure our most vulnerable residents can access the programs they rely on to put food on the table.

As I was investigating Heritage, I found that it promotes a network of Christian nationalist schools to parents. That network was founded by Doug Wilson, who is well-known for his extreme views.
