Full List of Republican Senators Who Receive Funding From the NRA Mitt Romney, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and Mitch McConnell are among those who have taken money from the pro-gun lobby over the years.

Until this changes and someone figures out how to get the NRA out of lining elected officials pockets, the US will continue to have school shootings.

You and Scott should invite any of them onto On or Pivot. It’d be a hoot.

Trump’s Tariff Agenda Bets on Americans Giving Up Cheap Goods Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent argues that the American dream is about more than cheap televisions, but inflation-weary consumers might disagree.

Is planting trees 'DEI'? Trump administration cuts nationwide tree-planting effort The Trump administration's efforts to end DEI programs is hitting some unexpected targets, including a nationwide effort planting shade trees in neighborhoods to reduce extreme heat.

Trump Won Over Many Arab Americans in November. Now, Has He Lost Them? In Detroit and its suburbs, anger is deep over Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. So is the sense that there is nowhere for Arab Americans to turn.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social @friendsofgovhochul.bsky.social Newsom and Hochul are the only 2 Americans who have any leverage over our new oligarchy and our traitor POTUS. Use the leverage, Gavin and Kathy….

They are private citizens so technically they can say what they want, BUT I believe there’s an unwritten rule of past presidents not criticizing current presidents. However this is no ordinary time or simple policy disagreement. Its democracy and a Russian traitor in the White House.

Every living past President (Obama, Clinton, Bush, Biden) needs to stand up and open their mouths about what happened between Trump, his attack dog, Vance and Zelensky yesterday at the WH. It’s not about politics and decorum at this point. Trump is an embarrassment to all Americans and a traitor.
