Sean Duffy's management of he FAA is nothing short of brilliant. In the meantime confidence in safety of flying in US airspace has reached an all time low. It started with Elon Musk firing hundreds of traffic controllers and Duffy doing nothing to fix the crisis that ensued.

BREAKING: Speaker Johnson eats his own words, after saying Dems filed a "frivolous lawsuit" they "were going to lose" to make the Trump Admin use contingency fund to pay the SNAP benefits.

Two federal judges ruled in favor of Dems, and Americans.

Could be they're giving him heavy doses of diuretics to combat the kankles which would significantly increase urination and at his age probably result in incontinence, or maybe he did have a stroke which may have also caused incontinence.

Heritage Foundation head defends Tucker Carlson for hosting white nationalist with antisemitic views The president of a Republican-aligned think tank has defended Tucker Carlson after the conservative media personality offered a platform to a far-right activist known for pushing white nationalist and...

The Heritage Foundation is a major Trump ally – and they just unequivocally stood by Tucker Carlson for platforming Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist Holocaust denier.

Despite what they say, the GOP doesn’t care about Jewish safety – they would rather elevate the most extreme voices in their party.
