It wasn't long ago that women were forced to have a male co-signer to get a credit card or a home loan.
Now, the Trump administration wants to end protections against such discrimination.

The reason we don’t sell H200, and other advanced chips to China is that they have dual-use (military and civilian) capability.
These will help China improve their AI, surveillance, and cyber espionage capability.
The export controls existed strictly for NatSec purposes.

This President put a TV news host in charge of our national defense. Unsurprisingly, it is not going well.
Pete Hegseth is the most unfit, unqualified Defense Secretary in history.

There are more than 2,000 verses of Scripture that tell us how to treat the poor.
And none of those verses say we should take food away from hungry children, slash health care for the vulnerable, and give tax cuts to the rich.
These policies bear false witness against the God I know.

It bears mentioning that the acts here, as far as they involve Trump, are unquestionably “official acts” entitling him to complete immunity according to our Supreme Court.
And it is beyond doubt that he can pardon Hegseth for any Federal crimes.
The only real solution remains impeachment.
