Iโ€™m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesnโ€™t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in commonโ€”Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the listโ€”itโ€™s about food, about serving those who are hungry. Itโ€™s not a suggestion; itโ€™s core and essential to what it means to align with Godโ€™s will.

Opinion | ICE lowered its standards and is still struggling to hire officers DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers โ€” but it's not getting nearly enough applicants.

ICE is struggling to hire officers โ€” even after lowering its standards. DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers โ€” but it's not getting nearly enough applicants.

It looks like most Americans simply donโ€™t want to be ICE thugs.

Zohran Mamdani's proposals for NYC build off city's progressive foundation: Experts While some critics decry Zohran Mamdani's vision for New York City as far-fetched, experts noted that they build off progressive foundations laid by past policies.

"Mamdani's proposals, such as freezing the rent for some New York tenants, free buses and free child care, are not only feasible but also build off the foundations of previous New York City laws, political analysts told ABC News."

A short term deal to extend ACA subsidies one year isnโ€™t ideal but it would instantly make another extension a central issue in the midterms which wouldnโ€™t be the worst thing for Dems.

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up.

I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies.

If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.
