BLITZER: But Trump posted instructing Bondi to take action on Comey, James, and Schiff. Comey and James have been indicted. So what do you say to Americans who look at this and worry that the DOJ is being politicized?

The suggested price for consumers will be no more than $55 for a pack of five pens.

Currently even generic insulin typically costs about $260 for a pack of five.

wrote about this in my book, but the first time i saw/heard Americans use the term "remigrate" it was in the leaked private chats of the white supremacists who organized the deadly Charlottesville rally in 2017 — including Thomas Rousseau (now head of Patriot Front) & the leaders of Identity Evropa

Trump just stated again yesterday he has the power to do whatever he wants. Talking about No Kings protest, can a journalist please press them on Trump’s statement? Is that too much to ask?

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

These are the American jobs Trump accused immigrants of taking. Did Idaho farmers posted these Job openings on LinkedIn? Has Anyone told them about LinkedIn? Or they can hire recruiters to find talented Americans. There are so many tools now to find workers, Idaho farmers should try those.

Trump can grant himself more powers? I didn’t know the constitution allowed the President to decide how much powers he/she has. In an unrelated subject : please show up to your local No Kings day protest.
