They’re making Mike Johnson the fall guy for obstructing the Epstein files, when the executive branch could just release them.

Call me old fashioned, but I remember when armed agents of the state barking, "where are your papers!?" was a thing that Americans associated with other, less free, less enlightened countries.

I’m going to bet there is some kind of “Gulf of Tonkin” incident off of Venezuela as the president tries to distract American public from the Epstein files.

@thetennesean.bsky.social was looking in your paper for your story on Blackburn and Haggerty stealing taxpayers’ money, but couldn’t find one. Why is that?

Marsha Blackburn and Bill Haggerty want to steal our tax dollars by using their positions to enrich themselves, and now Marsha wants to be the Governor of Tennessee? I assume so she can steal more money from Tennesseans.

Tell me again how there is no money to help the poor and middle class pay for health insurance.
Trump: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. But I was damaged very greatly and any money I would get I would give to charity."

Between this and Rep Roy’s take this morning, maybe it’s time for media to stop attending this lying-ass administration’s press conferences. I’m not saying don’t investigate or cover what they are doing, but if all they are going to do is lie, why help spread their lies?
Trump’s Secretary of Lying shared the “your mom” text exchange — where she wouldn’t answer who picked Hungary as the site of the Putin-Trump meeting

Now that JD Vance has said Tom Homan was accepting cash payments of $50,000 for services rendered, will someone in the white house press pool please ask Leavitt if the White House will release Homan’s IRS form 8300 for cash payments over $10,000?

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

I am the father of a rising high school senior. If the Democratic Party wants a platform plank that will get them votes, they should work on a plan of reducing the cost of higher education for the middle class.
I’m just not certain they want to.
