David Hogg tried pitching a compromise to the DNC. He was rebuffed. The 25-year-old vice chair's plan to attack "asleep-at-the-wheel" Democrats has rattled the party.

Democrats who fear change will be our undoing.

Trump admin asks Supreme Court to block return of wrongly deported Maryland man An appeals court has rejected the Trump administration's emergency motion to halt a federal judge's order to return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to the U.S.

FOTUS whined that he can't return illegally deported, innocent Brown people because they are outside of the US. Now we see that he just doesn't care.

JD Vance slams Demark for not doing enough for its citizens, when it provides universal healthcare for all of them when the US does not, and they're ranked the "Happiest Country In the World." The US ranks at the bottom of that list.

America is a delusional country that got high on its own supply.
