We’re putting food on the table in Argentina ($40 billion), yet MAGA Republicans are threatening to withhold SNAP funds already allocated by Congress. MAGA = Make Argentina Great Again.

Even if you think we needed a large ballroom, it should have gone through a process and committees to come to a decision of how big, how it would look etc. Congress should have been involved. This should never have been the decision of one old man looking for glory.

Even 75 years ago when my Dad was a dairy farmer, we had a countertop pasteurizer. We would never have thought to drink raw milk- too dangerous. Amazing how we are going backwards as a country.

I read that he rented out his acreage. Wouldn’t that mean he gets paid rent no matter what happens to the crop?

“I’ve never seen more active propaganda coming from the federal government,” said WBEZ reporter Chip Mitchell. “When I’ve seen something with my own eyes and then I see a completely different characterization coming from the spokesperson in Washington … it’s hard to know how to respond to that.”

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon: "We had 19 members of congress go out to Chicago to have field hearings...What we did find was chaos and fear and lawlessness—but that chaos, fear, and lawlessness was being brought by armed and masked federal agents."

It seems Michael Wolff can be found everywhere these talking about Trump. Is he on the complete level? I remember Stormy Daniels lawyer was the same way.

The campaign to label art "too woke" or "too liberal" has dark historical echoes. In my op-ed, I draw the parallel to Nazi Germany's "Degenerate Art" exhibitions and the Soviet doctrine of "Socialist Realism." When a government dictates what art is acceptable, we are on a dangerous path.

Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History

"The campaign to defund the arts, capture our museums, and rewrite our history is a prelude to silencing dissent."

You know, they may call themselves Christians but I don’t think I have ever heard them mention Jesus.

A president imposing tariffs (on us) because he’s annoyed (by a real ad not fake) is not how the law works.

We are off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

I used to be able to listen to Ross 15-20 years ago. At least he was mostly honest then. But I never read his stuff now. But I read first part of this out of curiosity. He compared demolition of East Wing to O’s presidential library. Unreal.

CBS’ evening news program failed to cover Trump's pardon of Binance founder last night — while its counterparts all did.

In third grade, I paid people a nickel to root for the Dodgers but that was in 1955. I guess inflation would make that too much now.

Why do so many people want to honor traitors and slavers? I just don’t get it. Statues don’t represent heritage. They are there to honor something.

I see the farmers crying about the soybeans and ranchers furious about Argentinian beef. But they all voted for Trump and they still support him. They must be ignorant of the fact that everyone is being screwed, not just them.

#ICYMI: Among the citizens detained by immigration agents are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Four children were held for weeks with their undocumented mother and without access to the family’s attorney until a congresswoman intervened.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

True, it would cost a lot but I think it would be symbolic for Americans along with re-sodding the rose garden. So many things need to be restored but this would be tangible, something that everyone could see.
