Why does the Trump White House keep trying to protect men who abuse women?

Trump is ranting barely coherently to McDonald's franchise owners: "The one pilot said, 'skedaddle!' And that thing just turned on its side -- pppph. And it's so unbelievable. And that knocked out Iran nuclear capability."

Warren urges Trump administration to 'immediately cease' student loan selloff plans Sen. Elizabeth Warren is attempting to stop the reported selloff of the $1.6 trillion student loan portfolio to private companies.

Listen to @warren.senate.gov here. Selling off student loans to private companies would threaten legal protections for borrowers. It would also be a giveaway to the wealthy, at the expense of working people. abcnews.go.com/Politics/war...

The US will never have affordable healthcare. Drug companies and industries would lose tens of millions in profits because they would no longer be able to charge outrageous sums. Healthcare should never have become a financial stream for creating billionaires.

Justice Department Joins Suit Challenging New California Congressional Districts

BREAKING: Trump asked Texas to redraw its map to entrench his power

Now his DOJ is trying to overturn Californiaโ€™s voter-approved map

This isnโ€™t law

Itโ€™s a president at 37% approval trying to rig 2026 before voters can speak

So heโ€™s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we wonโ€™t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didnโ€™t prepare for that possibility? Heโ€™s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

The current GOP lie is that theyโ€™re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities theyโ€™ve had since Obamacare passed, theyโ€™ve never once tried to replace it.

Theyโ€™ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Do you remember when the White House had good taste?

Back when the art had meaning, the rooms had soul, and the President had both.

I'm honored to have the support of AQE โ€” their first ever in a mayoral race.

For a quarter century, they have organized for the full and equitable funding of our public schools, going to toe-to-toe against former Gov. Cuomo's austerity agenda. Proud to be in this fight alongside them.

OK, sure, Trump is tearing down part of the East Wing of the White House. But to really upset Republicans, you have to be a Black man with your feet on the Resolute Desk.

Even if you are leader of the free world, you donโ€™t just get an MRI without a clear reason to do so.

Thereโ€™s no such thing as a โ€œscreeningโ€ MRI.
