I find myself wondering what would happen if Dems proposed that if the GOP would publicly present their outline of a health care plan for the American people, they would consider voting for a short term budget.

General Haugh has served our country in uniform, with honor and distinction, for more than 30 years. At a time when the United States is facing unprecedented cyber threats, as the Salt Typhoon cyberattack from China has so clearly underscored, how does firing him make Americans any safer?

I am not an economist and not very knowledgeable about economics beyond econ 101 but I have to ask: does anyone think the tariff scenario is a plan to make gold and Bitcoin flourish? Who's invested in those?

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

Trump Considers Paving Grass at White House Rose Garden to Match Mar-a-Lago The president has been discussing plans to rip up the grass in one of the White House’s most iconic locations and put in a hard surface to serve as a patio like the one at his Florida home and club.

Trump is now considering paving over Jackie Kennedy’s White House Rose Garden with cement to make it look more like Mar-a-Lago.

A White House official said it is β€œnecessary” because it will β€œrestore” the β€œglory” of the White House.

IMPORTANT REMINDER:
All six of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s children have been vaccinated.

Not only is RFK Jr. a longtime anti-vaxxer, he has made a highly profitable career of endangering the lives of millions in his dangerous crusade against vaccinations.

The ascendancy of this lying profiteer…

Here we go AGAIN 🀬

The SAVE Act would make it harder for millions of Americans to cast a ballot, this includes women who changed their name after marriage.

We must spread the word to protect our democracy.

Musk team kicks off federal layoffs as White House eyes big cuts The Trump administration’s plan for shrinking the civilian workforce is coming into increasingly clear view.

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment.

I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face.

And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

Every question from the senators should have been job specific like this. This demonstrates lack of preparedness. This could have convinced 3 republicans he isn’t the right one for the job
