Mitt Romney said the quiet part out loud: the rich should pay more in taxes.
The Wall Street Journal attacked him for it.
But he’s right—and ignoring the math is how democracies crack.

Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee.

Will Jordan release the video to the public?

If not, why not?

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Meiselas: If Trump was just some crappy, scummy billionaire who lived in Florida, do you think I'd give a crap? My issue is this freaking loser, this con artist, this grifter, this scammer has brought his life of scamming, bankrupting and destroying to the American people, who are now suffering.

Trump is dining with top Wall Street executives at the White House tonight — just months after giving them a huge tax cut in his Big Ugly Bill.

Meanwhile, his regime is continuing to withhold SNAP benefits for millions of hungry Americans.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! Per the LA Times, Jeffrey Epstein wrote in private emails that Trump “spent hours at my house” & “knew about the girls”! Americans have a right to know about who is in the Epstein Files, the criminal conduct, implications, & corruption! No more SHIELDING of PREDATORS!

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.
