Pentagon officials fume over Trump's Department of War rebrand Employees could find themselves changing Defense Department seals on more than 700,000 facilities around the world.

Many expressed frustration, anger and downright confusion at the effort, which could cost billions of dollars for a cosmetic change that would do little to tackle the military’s most pressing challenges β€” such as countering a more aggressive alliance of authoritarian nations.

The inevitable finally happened. He has a warped sense of presidential immunity. He’s asking for immunity from things that he did long before he even ran for office let alone got in. If Scotus allows this, we’re done.

The big beautiful bill reveals the hollowness of Trumponomics Republicans battle to pass a profligate but insubstantial law

Most tax reforms aim to simplify the tax code. This legislation makes it much more complicated in order to satisfy Donald Trump’s campaign pledges and induce enough congressional Republicans to vote for it https://econ.trib.al/VAk2b0E

In a mere matter of days, we can house migrants, but not our homeless. Because being cruel is always the motivation. #AlligatorAuschwitz

So, if I understand correctly, the President of the United States is saying that the Supreme Court of the United States consists of nine β€œsick people,” including three whom he appointed.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Supreme Court Sides With Wrongly Deported Migrant A trial judge had ordered the Trump administration to take steps to return the migrant, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, from a notorious prison in El Salvador.

Breaking News: The Supreme Court instructed the government to take steps to return a Salvadoran migrant it had wrongly deported to a prison in El Salvador.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?

No one is safe β€” not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.

Fascism is here.

This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government.

An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts.

It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

Decades Ago, Columbia Refused to Pay Trump $400 Million. Note That Number. A quarter century ago, the university was looking to expand. It considered, and rejected, property owned by Donald Trump. He did not forget it.

Decades before President Trump canceled $400 million in funding for Columbia University, he tried to sell property to the school β€” for $400 million.
