Public servants do just that, serve the public. It’s in our character. Thank you, furloughed Feds, for continuing to give back.
Here in Seattle, furloughed NOAA employees were out in the pouring rain cleaning up beaches yesterday, part of a national week of service organized by federal workers who can't do their jobs due to the shutdown.

Congress, he just handed you your balls. You wouldn’t rein him in and how he’s taken your power of the purse and tariffs. You allow him to use social media to run your laws. Shame on you.

Look at that huge jump in Trump's wealth in 2025.

Americans can't afford groceries or health care.

But the Trump presidency is working out great for Donald Trump.

"If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."

Do Fox News hosts and commentators agree with their colleague Brian Kilmeade that the United States should "just kill" homeless people?

He still has a job. No apology. No retraction.

Just let us know, Fox.
