Tom Kean Jr. voted with Republicans to shield Trump’s tariffs from accountability. Tariffs raise prices for all of us, and he tried to block Congress from even challenging them. All while your family foots the bill.

My take on Trump ordering the removal of the Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in NYC is that he's a pedophile and rapist who is actively covering up his role in a massive sex trafficking operation that targeted children and doing everything he can to distract from that cover-up.

The death penalty is an easy way out for a child rapist. If anything, a mandated exit is showing mercy. They should spend the rest of their lives being slowly eaten alive by social ostracization and relentless shaming. Some would criticize that as torture. I agree that it's torture. They deserve it.
