Who Is Dustin Burrows? Even by Texas Standards, He’s a Lawless Bully The state House speaker’s vindictive campaign against Democrat Nicole Collier has no basis in law. But it’s Texas, where anything probably goes these days.

The Democratic Establishment’s Shunning of Mamdani Is Disqualifying What exactly are Schumer, Jeffries, et al. afraid of? If they won’t get behind Mamdani, progressives should make them pay a future price.

Elon Musk Is an Evil Piece of Garbage—and an A-Level Fraud Too He is stupid. He is incompetent. He is cruel. He is sinister. And people will die because of what he’s done.

🔥Rep. Mikie Sherrill came in swinging:

“You don’t give targeting information. You don’t give time. You put people in danger!”

A Navy Vet and former Russian policy officer, she’s not mincing words—Trump’s team endangered American lives, and they know it.

The Trump administration just blatantly broke the law according to their own top intelligence official.

Gavin Newsom & Governor JB Pritzker

Elon Musk and Donald J. Trump are characterizing Canada the way Putin did Ukraine before the invasion. 

As a proud Canadian and grateful resident of California for 24 years and former resident of Illinois, I call upon each of you to demonstrate Political Courage, and make clear to the Trump administration that any military annexation of or incursion in Canada will result in your, and of like-minded fellow governors, immediate implementation of a policy of secession out of the United States, starting with the withholding of your states’ federal taxes and the blocking of any effort to federalize your National Guard.

The Democratic Party has long been heavy on flowery oratory but a complete failure when it comes to robust leadership as is evident given the party’s silence and lack of coordination in the face of a coup by the Executive.

This is not about the Democratic Party — it is about Democracy. It is not about the Republican Party — it is about the Republic.

The time for friendly podcasts is over. Though I arrived alone in Chicago as I turned 17, I have never forgotten that I am the son of a Holocaust Survivor — I have known Elon Musk personally for 14 years and understand what horrors will befall America and her Allies if this administration is not loudly denounced and kept in check at every corner. In Pugna Maneo!

I, and all the people who share this message, count on your actual Leadership and Fighting Spirit.

Trump just launched a trade war against Canada over fentanyl. The US seized - wait for it - 43 pounds at the US-Canada border last year.

43 pounds.

To Pay for Trump Tax Cuts, House GOP Floats Plan to Slash Benefits for the Poor and Working Class A menu of options being circulated by congressional Republicans also includes new tax cuts for corporations and the ultrawealthy.

To pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich, House Republicans are considering:

-Slashing Medicaid
-Eliminating childcare tax credits
-Eliminating the "head of household" filing status, which would hurt single parents

Trickle up economics.
