He said he would end the war in Ukraine on day one. He said he was going to put “America first.” He said he would be a peacemaker. What is true is that Trump has turned over American diplomacy to a billionaire Manhattan real estate mogul.

For Trump to succeed he needs an uneducated electorate who will believe his lies. Pay attention to what he’s doing.

Imagine having to go to work everyday and face the biggest bully in the country. Kudos to those members of the White House press corps courageous enough to ask the tough questions.

Is Trump finally losing his iron grip on the Republican party? It may be the only silver lining to the Epstein mess.

Yes, be angry with Senate Democrats, but don’t forget who was keeping food from hungry children.

Want to play the blame game about the GOP’s shellacking in Tuesday election? It’ll be quick. The one and only answer is Donald Trump.

Trump refuses to follow the law and feed hungry Americans. A judge has to force him to do it. Even so, will he?

If Trump says he can run for a third term, does that mean Obama can run again too? Just asking.

Trump secretly demolished part of the White House to make way for a gigantic party palace, that might just contain his ego.

No American president has ever had so many people protest against him, because no American president has ever been so deserving.

Government workers are just pawns for the president who is playing a game of chicken with people's lives.

CBS News is the latest victim of the corporatization of the media. But it is the American people who will pay the price.

Silencing comedians is as much about Trump’s thin skin as it is about fattening his friends’ wallets.

Trump's march toward authoritarianism is more like a sprint. Dems can't wait for the midterms. He needs to be stopped now.

The acting head of the CDC is a tech bro with no medical training who embraced Covid conspiracy theories. Talk about malpractice.

Hosting peace talks with a war criminal and failing to invite the other side is not a peace talk; it is a strategy session.

Trump has federalized the National Guard and called in the Marines to L.A. Violence feeds his narrative. Don’t let it.
