Pressed for evidence on her conspiracy theories, Gabbard falls embarrassingly short Fox News offered the director of national intelligence an opportunity to bolster her bizarre β€œtreason” allegations. She responded with a big nothingburger.

Hochul: "This is what I call a legal insurrection ... they know they're going to lose next year. That's the only reason they're engaged in this. It also might be a nice distraction from people asking -- all of the sudden this happens when? When they refuse to release the Epstein files."

For those who were hopeful that Trump β€œpivoted” on Ukraine, the meeting in Alaska will sell Ukraine down the river.

Trump is scared to death of Putin.

ChatGPT: A federal civil jury in NY found him liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll and awarded her damages; civil juries decide liability and damages, not criminal guilt. A judge later noted that what the jury found amounted to rape in the ordinary sense.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people β€” in health care, infrastructure and education β€” to build a strong middle class.Β 

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

American higher education is failing its students, teaching them that accepting extortion is the way forward.

Yes, college failed to protect Jewish students last year, but following Paramount’s pathetic β€œsettlement” doesn’t resolve the anti-Semitic issue or get Trump off your back next year.
