WATCH: Trump knows he can’t really win a Nobel Peace Prize so he just had FIFA give him a made up award. Sad.

SCOTUS is allowing Texas to redistrict early.

Remember that California responded by passing Prop 50 last month.

Other states must also counteract Trump's attempt to steal the 2026 midterms.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

Trump is a bad actor.

Trump is an algorithm.

The President is a fake account. He is pretending to be America First, but his true mission is to do the bidding of other countries. To destroy us from the inside.

What MAGA rally signs would have looked like in 2024 if they were based on what's ACTUALLY happening-

-MAGA farmers: "Bankrupt Our Farms!"
-MAGA Latinos: "PUT US IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS!"
-MAGA White Nationalists: "MAKE ARGENTINA GREAT AGAIN!"
-MAGA Isolationists: "Venezuelan Regime Change Now!"

Reaping the consequences of 70 years of besmirching the trades, and devaluing the status of blue collar work
Ford can’t fill 5,000 mechanic jobs that pay $120,000 a year.

“We are in trouble in our country. We are not talking about this enough,” says Ford CEO JIm Farley.

Tariffs won't fix American manufacturing. What's needed is a different focus on training.

"The Trump administration unveiled a sweeping plan Tuesday to sidestep Congress and outsource large pieces of the U.S. Department of Education..."

This is a key vision of the Heritage Foundation.

There will be less oversight, less funding, and less education.

They love an uninformed electorate.
Trump administration shares new moves to dismantle more of the Education Department
Some of the responsibilities the administration aims to move were explicitly assigned to the U.S. Education Department by Congress, raising questions about the legality of these changes.

There are only 35 or 40 House seats that we can already expect to be at least somewhat competitive next year.

But what we learned from the elections at the start of this month was that there are another 15 or more seats, all currently GOP-held, that now have to be considered in play next November.
