Trump says we have declared war on drug cartels because so many lives have been lost. Why aren't we targeting the NRA because so many lives have been lost🤑

How come Senator Marshall doesn't know anything about this pardon and the rest of us out here in La La Land do? He must watch the same news programs that Mike Johnson does.

It was all published on the web in Project 2025 and it’s 50% completed and we are screwed. Thanks to those that didn’t vote, those white people that voted for Trump, and those that didn’t read Project 2025 there are no more laws. Lawyers will tell you that.

Mackenzie Scott (Jeff Bezos's ex) donated $50 million to Cal State/East Bay. I love this woman. She's married to a high school science teacher. A woman previously married to Jeff Bezos married a high school science teacher! I can see why they split.

The Roberts court is trying 2 stiffen the spine of states like Indiana that are hanging in the balance over re-districting maps. The timing worked so well when they announced Trump had presidential immunity just weeks b4 the elections. Now here they r again, trying 2 quell the rising Democratic tide

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.
Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

Take the gloves off. Gerrymander everything.

That lousy Roberts Court. They're doing everything in their power to ensure that GOP retains control of the House in 2026. Just when we thought we might have an even playing field. Originalism, YAY. The six are crackpots.

Was looking at my news archive from 2016. Then I looked at my news archive of 2020. In 2016, no one took Trump seriously. Even Trump sometimes didn't take himself seriously. 2020 was very different. The mood of the country was bleak. Today, it's not just bleak, it's almost unrecognizable.

I don’t know, I still randomly trip out over the fact that the President told states to specifically gerrymander for him. And they did.

With one sound bite, Hakeem Jeffries moves the spotlight from Pete Hegseth to . . . Hakeem Jeffries ("The border is secure") I hope he isn't condoning the Venezuelan boat strikes. Has he given an official statement condemning the strikes? Because that's what he needs to do.

Apparently Leavitt read a statement on Monday supposedly from Pete Hegseth, saying he had "authorized Bradley to conduct" these strikes. The fact that she chose to read a statement is the problem: no one believes her. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...
