Trump and RFK remain determined to sicken or kill as many Americans as possible.

The court, yet again, is allowing Trump to get away with practically anything this psychopath wants.

It's bizarre that Murkowski is taking so long to declare herself AGAINST this dreadful bill. She and Collins need to find their backbones and vote an emphatic "NO."

Cowards. Stand up for your rights.

This pathetic court has failed multiple opportunities to stand up for the rule of law. This case should have been a slam-dunk defeat for Trump, since the constitutional status of birthright citizenship is beyond rational dispute.

Republicans Say Tax Cuts Will Spur Growth. It Hasnโ€™t Worked in the Past.

'The major tax cuts of 1981, 2001, 2003 and 2017 increased deficits, produced uneven economic results and delivered the largest benefits to wealthy Americans." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/u...

So very tired of her wishy-washy statements of "concern" about one outrage after another. Actions speak louder than words. Vote against the damn bill.

This woman is certifiably insane, and pure evil.

ICE agents (at least far too many of them) are sick, evil people.

ICE reinforces its status as a terrorist organization.

Wow. Kudos to Steve Martin for this eloquent declaration.

Outrageous and inexcusable.

Noem is a pathetic joke. Contrary to her warped claims, American citizens still have a constitutional right to peacefully protest. Trump's attempt to impose an authoritarian dictatorship will inevitably fail.

In a sane America, this would be yet another ground for impeachment.

The MAGAs are terrified of lawful protest, and terrified of the free press.

I've had my differences with Newsom, but right now he's rising to the occasion.

Kamala Harris may not have been a perfect candidate, but she was right about EVERYTHING regarding Trump.
