It's like they are actively trying to kill the tourist industry.

I feel an obligation as a citizen to stay engaged in what my government is doing...all levels.

I feel an acute curiosity as a mental health professional to examine the behavior and motivation of the president and those around him.

And every once in a while, I just stop and say, "what a dick."

It’s embarrassing to even read this. What is he, 12 years old?

No one is going to want to come here

Trump’s proposed bailout of “farmers” isn’t going to farmers at all.

It’s going to massive corporations that run industrial farming conglomerates.

Small, family farmers get nothing.

It’s all a grift. All of it.

You’ll notice the media is doing their best to ignore the orange felon’s pattern of verbally attacking and berating female reporters because to address it would be to bring up his lifelong pattern of adultery, abuse, rape, incestuous cravings and the Access Hollywood Tape.

Ossoff: "She's gonna have to give up her insurance in the middle of chemotherapy while she's fighting breast cancer. What are people supposed to do when they lose health insurance in the middle of a cancer battle? ... this is life or death"

This week, the Senate will vote on Democrats' clean, three-year extension of the ACA tax credits.

Republicans have a choice: stop health insurance premiums from skyrocketing or abandon their constituents.

Breaking: The US lost 32,000 jobs in November, far worse than expected.

Small businesses were the hardest hit.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

When you pay attention to the tons of evidence showing that immigrants commit fewer crimes, pay taxes, and contribute billions to the economy, you see that the problem isn't immigrants. The problem is the people blaming immigrants and spreading lies and stereotypes about them.

WE pay tariffs. How do I know? Small business owner. Laura Ingraham is a paid Trump sycophant. She is lying and she knows it.

We can’t truly break the MAGA movement until these Republican members of Congress are more afraid of their own voters than they are of Donald Trump,” said Brandon Hall, a political adviser for the group.

Dear Leader proudly decrees that he will hand out $12b, in a definitely not socialist manner, to America’s farmers to…

…help them deal with the catastrophic consequences of his disastrous tariff policies.

Mike Johnson's downward spiral Speaker of the House is a tough job. But he's particularly bad at it.

New in PN: Mike Johnson's downward spiral

"His speakership is a story of chaos and failure at a time when he and his party should be racking up wins. Apparently, the Lord played a trick on his humble servant: He may have given Johnson the job, but He didn’t say he’d be any good at it."

Look at the brothers' reaction to their bro being a paedo. Very telling. All the Kennedy males were/are fucked up beyond belief and shouldn't be anywhere near public office.

This day can not come soon enough. The MAGA Cult has helped keep him in power.
