I'm not an "illegal alien" but I might not be able to afford health care insurance next year without the ACA extension.

A Sitting Senator Just Went Full Mask-Off White Nationalist America, he says, isn’t an idea—and isn’t for everyone.

It's not about racism “But America does not belong to them. It belongs to us. It’s our home. It’s a heritage entrusted to us by our ancestors. It’s a way of life that is ours, and only ours, and if we disappear, then America, too, will cease to exist.”

Trump threatens Russia with tariffs while unveiling new Ukraine weapons plan Under the new plan, the US will sell weapons to Nato countries who will send them to Ukraine.

"Very nice phone calls" with the Russian president are often followed by devastating air strikes on Ukraine - "After that happens three or four times you say: the talk doesn't mean anything," Trump said.

Trump Maybe, Finally Realizes Putin Has Been Playing Him President Donald Trump is growing increasingly frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin as the nation's war against Ukraine continues.

“We get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He’s very nice all the time but it turns out to be meaningless.”

"I told you I was very unhappy with my call with President Putin. He wants to go all the way, just keep killing people, it’s no good.”

When America Steps In Without Strategy, the World Burns The United States bombed Iran yesterday.

Let’s be clear: Iran’s regime is brutal. Israel’s security is real. This isn’t about moral equivalence.

Satellite images show damage from US strikes on Iran’s Fordow nuclear site The US struck Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites, escalating tensions with Iran.

This seems like a good summary, from @aljazeera.com. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...
