Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Only 16 of over 600 detained by ICE in Chicago area have criminal histories The Trump administration has released the names of more than 600 people detained by immigration agents, and whose arrests might have violated a court order, and only 16 of them have been identified by the federal government as a "high public safety risk" because of their alleged criminal histories.

I'd like to see something more like "Contacted for a comment, a spokesman ignored several questions and instead responded like a nine-year-old playground bully." Accurate, evocative, and less whiny...

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:

β€’admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
β€’abolish ICE
β€’grant citizenship to any immigrant
β€’disband the 5th Circuit
β€’expand the Supreme Court

Seriously: Why the hell not?

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

If every one of the 340 million people in America paid a new $35 copay to visit the doctor, that still wouldn’t be enough to cover how much Meta would get from just one tax break in Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."

I'm not enjoying the reboot of the "Unprovoked War in the Middle East" reality TV show.

It's just as pointless, but the actors are even stupider. And, frankly, I didn't think that would be possible.

House passes rescission package to claw back $9.4 billion in funding for foreign aid, NPR, PBS The House is expected to vote Thursday on White House's rescission package to claw back funding for NPR, PBS, foreign aid.

All this chaos is being used to distract you from another bill passed by the House of Representatives. It cuts HIV assistance/research and PBS. It will be moving to the senate. They don't want you to notice this. www.cbsnews.com/news/house-v...

How'm I supposed to know what"feeling my age" spiritually is like? I certainly don't feel the same about thingsβ€”the universeβ€”as I did in my 20s. That would mean I had wasted all kinds of experience without growing.

The legislation's official name is "One Big Beautiful Bill". It will add trillions to the national debt, give a tax break to the wealthy, and kick millions off Medicaid. The GOP is so proud of it that the House Rules Committee is holding its hearings at 1 a.m. tonight so nobody will observe them.

Like Caesar’s wife, US presidents were previously supposed to be above reproach. Donald Trump has twisted that into being beyond reproach.
