Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

Apparently the days when Trump could gaslight America on the shut down, the economy, tariffs, the Epstein files, Gaza/Ukraine, etc. are coming to a close.
We are demanding real, tangible results.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Someone has to explain to me why, after decades of Republican 'leadership', southern states continue to allow themselves to be held back. Republican performance has been abysmal.

If this were discovered in a leaked email and published in the New York Times, it might get more attention. But Trump just tweets it out, and most people move on with their day. This is blatant corruption. Blatant weaponization. It is undeniably an impeachable offense.
Trump posts a deranged message to Pam Bondi pressuring her to prosecute his political enemies after a U.S. attorney quit because he refused to fabricate charges: “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility.”

When you hear Trump ignorantly ranting about windmills, understand this...Big Oil absolutely owns Republicans. Follow the money.

Congressional Republicans are being dragged down by Trump's abysmal performance. A victory in the midterms would change everything. It must be done.

Tom Homan is on videotape accepting a $50K bribe delivered by an undercover FBI agent in the later part of the Biden administration. The information was turned over to the Trump administration, and no charges were brought.
Bondi, Patel, and anyone else involved should lose their job immediately.

We've now distributed $2.1B+ in voter-approved Prop. 1 funding for local governments to build out supportive housing and mental health programs for homeless Californians.
After decades of inaction, we're making progress tackling each component part of the homelessness crisis.

With all the attention that Charlie Kirk's murder is getting, I'm afraid that people are forgetting that 46,000 people per year in the US die from gun violence. That's 46,000 families mourning the loss of a love one.
The infuriating part is the solution is staring us right in the face.

One of the most egregious things Trump has done so far involves the atrocious choices for Cabinet members. I've never seen such an incompetent, unprepared group of people in my life. One is worse than the next, and it seems as though America agrees.

One of the goals of the tariff plan is to repatriate all auto production to the US. Not surprisingly, the Trump administration has neglected to think this through and what the consequences to the country and consumers would be. Here's a quick analysis from a guy that used to be part of it (me).
