Scalise: "Senator Ossoff over the weekend had a town hall meeting -- you needed to show an ID to get in! And yet he won't vote to require ID for vote? Let's expose hypocrisy"

Exactly. Regular people end up paying the price while billionaires and donors pull the strings. That’s not leadership that’s corruption.

A shadowy industry is helping small businesses pay tariffs — at a high cost How about $350,000 within hours? The pitches flood small businesses: "No hidden fees, No BS." These financial lifelines

Trump's tariffs aren't just hurting consumers. Struggling small businesses who import foreign goods are having to turn to predatory lenders to pay tariff bills.

Meanwhile, big corporations like Apple are securing huge tariff exemptions by sucking up to Trump.

It's Trump's extortion economy.

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

Honestly, it’s wild how some people in power don’t seem to understand basic constitutional rights. Free speech shouldn’t even be up for debate.

It has nothing to do with any of this and Rogers knows it. But he would rather sell out his state than stand up to Trump. This is Trump protecting a billionaire losing the monopoly he’s enjoyed for many years. Coward Rogers should lose the senate race just on this alone.

Exactly. This isn’t about policy it’s about protecting power and money. Selling out your own state just to stay in Trump’s good graces is weak leadership.

Exactly accountability shouldn’t stop at borders or party lines.

Ah yes, just a casual lunch trip to that island. Totally normal.

Thanedar to a DHS official: "You better hope you get a pardon"

Agreed. Civic engagement doesn’t stop at resistance participation is how systems shift.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

That’s what accountability sounds like when you’re done being polite.

Rep. Zach Nunn on voter ID: "It ensures we have fair elections, and that we know the results can be successful ... it helps to enfranchise the voter population"

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

WATCH — @balint.house.gov on the unredacted Epstein files: “There’s a bunch of sick fucks… so many people knew…. Trump never kicked Epstein out of Mar-A-Lago. That’s a lie.”

MAGA doing a tremendous job tonight winning back the Latino voters they’ve lost over the past year.

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

Sad that this is triggering to so many

The MAGA Fake Outrage Industrial Complex having to work overtime with the Olympics and Super Bowl happening to trigger the snowflakes.

When the Olympics and Super Bowl collide, the outrage machine really hits turbo.

Trump promised lower prices on Day One… looks like Day One is still waiting in line at the store

Really impressed with the Olympics commercials for AI that keep showing me all the amazing things it can do, like tell me that Olympic athletes train for their events for a long time and other amazing secrets that can only be found by paying big money and draining a lake.

All that for… checks notes … basic observations.

Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

Authoritarianism always arrives wrapped in the language of “security” and “values.” History keeps repeating itself.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

If that’s true, then transparency, evidence, and full accountability should be non-negotiable no matter who’s in power.

Annotating the Judge’s Decision in the Case of Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-Year-Old Detained by ICE (Gift Article) Our critic annotates the barbed wordplay of a decision challenging the Trump administration’s theory of executive power.

Here’s a useful reminder of what our federal courts SHOULD be doing to uphold our constitutional traditions:
