He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose.

I never bluff and I usually win.

Mockler: Zero evidence whatsoever of any weaponization. I've asked you this multiple times and you have no evidence yet, Trump tried to send Pam Bondi a dm. This should be embarrassing that you are defending this

Mockler: I think we need to spend more time talking about phase two and the actual peace deal, rather than some Nobel peace prize, when that hasn't been achieved yet.

It’s become crystal clear, Speaker Johnson doesn’t want Congress to come back in session because they don’t want the Epstein files released.

Stop the shutdown - release the files!

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Garcia: It’s really shocking for him to essentially lean into this possibility of a pardon. And we know why that’s the case, right? He wants to control what she says. He wants her—someone who has a ton of information on what actually happened—to perhaps… omit memories she might have of the president

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did.

A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇

In case you got lost in the steaming pile of bullshit Speaker Johnson’s been shoveling, the shutdown fight Democrats are holding the line on is about healthcare for hard-working Americans.

Leader Jeffries isn’t flinching, isn’t wobbling; he’s been consistent and hasn’t wavered on this issue.
