When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

The Republicans know they have unpopular policies, so they have to cheat.

This is disgusting. She facilitated the human trafficking and sexual abuse of minors. She had a trial and was convicted. She is NOT a victim.

Donald, the Call Is Coming From Inside the House โ€œSenior administration officialsโ€ are leaking to the press. The polls on the Epstein saga are terrible. The coverup is unraveling.

Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.

A Gulag in the Swamp and Medicaid Cuts: Even the New Trump Fragrance Won't Wash Away This Stench... Republicans can't sell this bill so Trump distracts with more cruelty

A gulag in the swamp and Medicaid cuts. Even the Trump fragrance canโ€™t wash away the stench of this agenda. My latest on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

โ€œItโ€™s the largest redistribution from poor to rich in a single bill in American history.โ€

It's a play in three regressive parts:
1. Tax cuts for the rich.
2. Spending cuts on the poor.
3. Tariffs that hit low-income folks hardest.

Itโ€™s it just the FBI, several other federal law enforcement agencies are being reassigned to work immigration cases.

The US Is Storing Migrant Childrenโ€™s DNA in a Criminal Database Customs and Border Protection has swabbed the DNA of migrant children as young as 4, whose genetic data is uploaded to an FBI-run database that can track them if they commit crimes in the future.

NEW: The US government has collected DNA from over 100,000 migrant childrenโ€”including a 4-year-oldโ€”and uploaded their genetic profiles into a national biometric database meant for sex offenders and violent criminals.

Trump Family Turns Presidency Into Most Lucrative Venture Yet Since he launched his campaign, the family has put dealmaking in overdrive โ€” with memecoins, guns and new hotels abroad.

Exactly what the Founders feared and hoped to prevent.

The reality is the president was rage tweeting Walmart less than 48 hours ago after they announced price hikes due to Trumpโ€™s tariffs.

Just constant lies from this White House.
