It may be true that very few college graduates voted for Trump, but the presumption that all those without college degree voted for Trump is demeaning to those of us who didn't need a college education to know that Trump and the GOP were going to be the biggest mistake in our country's history.

As soon as I saw the news I had to check for a post from you. Like you, I'm so F-N tired of all the hate and despise the GOP for continuing to let this administration fuel the hate. So relieved you're safe.

Trump administration ends Harvard's ability to enrol international students The move escalates the administration's row with America's oldest university over hiring, admissions and teaching practices.

The only thing this administration is committed to is fascist control of our country.

Yet today, in a hospital room ...

If the family of this young woman have to sit and watch life support keep her in a vegetative state because the of state of Georgia's barbaric anti-abortion laws, then a representative of the state should have to be there and it should be Sen. Setzler.

Nothing wrong with recusing. BUT, if being a SC Justice is such an honor, maybe they should avoid certain activities while in the position, such as writing books, making certain investments, accepting gifts, etc. They need a code of ethics and when doing those things are more important, RETIRE.

Whoa... problematic riders? Ridership on public bus systems serves mostly low income populations. So Uber should provide a service so upper-classers don't have to associate with us others? Do you really think those who can afford an Uber taxi will stand at a bus stop waiting for their elite bus?

Trump/GOP believing corporations will absorb the tariffs is the same as them believing in trickle down economics. How stupid can they be? How greedy can they be?

Here's a news flash for them. If the don't like the increase in debt this bill is causing: RAISE TAXES ON THE WEALTHY. End entitlement for those who actually are the cause of our debt spiraling out of control.

We could not begin to document every time Trump has threatened someone. He claims he did nothing to incite the violence of Jan 6, but yet a pic of seashells does. What a crybaby. Boo hoo hoo. He needs to grow up and act like a man.

The hypocrisy of Trump and the GOP is revolting. They pretend they're all for families with their new baby payment proposal but then they are demolishing all the benefits that low-income families need and deserve: healthcare, food, education, etc.

This administration has shown that there's no such thing as conflict of interest.

This shouldn't be happening, but since the SC allowed it, the DoD should have to pay them through their original discharge date.

I've seen posts calling for the tariff tax to be listed on the price of retail goods. If it isn't listed and the tariff is just included in the prices, then state and local sales tax will be charged on the total. Isn't that double taxation? Why haven't I heard anything about this? Am I wrong?

And for every $ spent on products from China the states receive their share of sales tax. Oops, bet his pea-sized brain didn't consider how much states/cities could lose when people aren't buying things.

For those organizing or participating protests, Saturday, June 14th should be designated "Upside Down Flag Day." Trump has put our country in distress and doesn't deserve a parade. Let's gather and line our streets.

In Trump world, it's not who's to blame or who's the most incompetent. It's who didn't bow down low enough. We now know Hegseth is better at sucking up to the mob boss.

I had a granddaughter die of SIDS in 2006. Our family has supported SIDS of Illinois as they work diligently to prevent SIDS deaths. This is a heartbreaking, cruel setback. From the party that claims to be pro-life, they do everything they can to make life harder to sustain. 😥

What is Miller talking about? This administration has been removing all government regulations (especially for those who pay to play), let alone being enforced.

Hard to believe he has a family of his own! Can you imagine how he'll brainwash his kids!

He truly believes he can write the facts as he thinks they should be. This isn't dementia but it is a sociopathic/narcissistic trait. And as an autocratic/dictator wannabe he demands all to believe him without questioning. And if you don't then he will make you out to be the "bad" guy.

Trump says voters unhappy about the economy and his China trade war should deal with it because 'they did sign up for it, actually' "Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on," Trump said of the "reciprocal" tariffs he imposed.

I'm one of the 75 million who didn't sign up for his tariffs so I will "deal with it" by protesting until he's out of office. The 77 mil who did vote for him and the 35% of registered voters who didn't vote have to decide how they're going to deal with it.

A developing political scandal in Florida has Gov. Ron DeSantis on the defensive A developing political scandal in Florida has put Gov. Ron DeSantis on the defensive. Republican lawmakers are investigating how $10 million in state money was diverted for use in a campaign.

"In the real world, if someone defrauded the state or a charity of ten million dollars, they would go to prison." (Quote from article) The hypocrisy is that no longer is government considered the real world and therefore can do whatever they want. BS

Now we know how vain narcissists really are. Think he'll try to match Trump's orange base? What a waste!

I'm from IL, but not your district. So glad to have a young woman in the race. Now the IL Democrats need to be in their work to also find a replacement for Senator Durbin. Keep IL blue 💙

I wonder if they checked the time stamp on the video of the guy walking out with her purse and compared it to the time she and her gang left!

Everyone should realize that Trump is a Russian operative. He wants to weaken our DoD because it only benefits Russia.

Miller is a delusional POS. What planet were Trump and all the members of his administration (and GOP Congressional members) come from that they think they can just spew lies and then think we'll believe them?

How many dozen eggs can you buy with the medal? Childcare costs? Healthcare costs? Pre and post-natal care costs? Education costs? Cost for a car/house large enough for that size family? You know it's not going to be pure gold! I can't believe the stupid ideas this administration comes up with.
