Still, it's a disgusting betrayal of their oath. I took an oath to the Constitution over 40 years ago. I don't understand it to have an expiration date.

The Trump Administration is basically claiming the right to kill anyone anywhere for any reason or for no reason, with no evidence provided or accountability to Congress or the American people.

Bison walking in the middle of the road straight at the camera.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of Victory

Yeah, yu read that right

Democrats have done it again

After the amazing sweep of recent elections Schumer organized the sacrifice of ACA funding, shattered the momentum and handed the GOP a win

It makes no sense
Fractured the left
Weakened the party

This is absurd and plainly illegal. The courts should reject this fringe theory.

But the real news here is Trump will do anything to try to kill an agency that has returned more than $21 billion to scammed Americans, but he'll do nothing to lower costs for American families.

Replying to @lime.accordion Senator Tim Kaine (D - VA) 11/10/2025 Kaine was one of the 8 democrats who held the country hostage for 40 days, only to then fold with no concessions. #democrat #progressi... TikTok video by Lime Accordion

The problem in the Democratic Party is CLEARLY old thinking.

Listen as this woman faces her Senator, Tim Kane. She asks tough questions, gets hollow answers, and delivers a chilling message for old/incumbent democrats...
