Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Let me spell it out for you. The psycho staged the DC shooting so he could do a workaround of the judge’s order to remove troops from DC! Because that’s how he rolls!

And the publicity has led to the rest of us being educated about legal and illegal orders, information that might be very relevant in the near future.
Donald Trump & Pete Hegseth are too stupid to realize this, but their over-the-top response to Mark Kelly's video guaranteed that *far* more people in the military would hear its message than had they ignored it.

Trump’s healthcare plan looks a lot like extending subsidies for the ACA. You know, like the Democrats wanted in the first place.
Republicans are the lazy kid in a group project who tears shit up and hassles others for a week only to agree to sign-on on the last day to get a good grade.

I have every confidence that whenever Trump fires one of his incompetent sycophant minions, he will find someone even worse for the job.
Republican Rep. Don Bacon calls for Witkoff to be fired. May it be the first call of many. Witkoff needs to go, now.

5. The Department of Energy appears to have already examined Chinese-made transformers for backdoor access. In 2019, a Chinese transformer bound for a Colorado substation was seized by US authorities... sparking fears that it contained hardware capable of disrupting the national grid.

Mark Kelly is absolutely right. He and Gabby Giffords are my heros.
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

He only pardons completely heinous, guilty people who can pay big bucks; men who have committed the same crimes he has committed: fraud, sexual assault, rape, bribery, treason. He probably gets money under the table. Quid pro quo.
Former nursing home executive and convicted fraudster Joseph Schwartz was pardoned by Trump earlier this month.
Schwartz secured the pardon after paying two other convicted fraudsters nearly $1M to lobby Trump on his behalf.
