Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully.

That’s supposed to be permitted in a democracy.

If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what’s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn’t like?

Welcome to Donald Trump’s America, where First Amendment lawyers find themselves compelled to advise people that they have no First Amendment rights.

Trump administration ordered to reinstate thousands of fired USDA workers The decision is a blow to the Trump administration’s effort to drastically and quickly shrink the federal bureaucracy.

β€˜β€œThere are two fierce tigers in my spirit: Anger-Hatred and Love-Compassion. They are fighting to the death.”

A fearful child asks:
β€œWhich will win?” The elder replies: β€œThe one that I feed.”

You have fed us a diet of your anger and hatred. It has divided us and made us sick.”

Medicaid covers...

-40% of births nationwide
-50% of kids with special needs
-72 million people in total

Remember this as Republicans move to gut the program to finance tax cuts that will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans.Β

Pennsylvania is the proud home to over 150,000 Ukrainian and Ukrainian American people. Some have planted roots here for generations - and tens of thousands are here to find safety after fleeing Vladimir Putin's aggression. I know they, along with countless other Pennsylvanians, watched in shock as the President and Vice President berated President Zelenskyy and advanced Russia's propaganda directly from the White House.
The Oval Office should be a place where we advance American values β€” not where we retreat from them. When the President and Vice President attacked President Zelenskyy today, they served to undermine the safety and security of America and our national security interests. I support a diplomatic end to this war. Achieving this requires an honest reckoning of who started the war and who the aggressor is, and to that question, there is only one answer: Russia.
In a matter of just a few weeks, the Trump-Vance Administration has alienated many of our allies and is seemingly trying to take us from being the leader of the free world to a hemispheric power, signaling to our friends in Europe that they are on their own. Friends and adversaries elsewhere are taking notice. That is weakness that does not serve the interests of freedom and liberty, and it will create a more dangerous world.
Strong leaders stand with their allies and they stand on their principles - and I believe we must continue to advocate for the values of freedom and liberty, not cower to dangerous dictators like Vladimir Putin.
Governor Josh Shapiro

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Donald Trump and JD Vance may have just done what Joe Biden couldn’t - get Ukraine into NATO.

It makes no sense to throw away a $20 billion dollar investment in Hubble and JWebb

These tools are already paid for, there's no reason to let them sit idle after all this effort.

The cuts are illegal as they were NOT approved by congress
