A lot of you have asked me: what's the latest on the government shutdown?
So far, Republicans have shown no interest in reopening the government and lowering health care costs for Americans.
And how many times have Republicans come to the negotiating table? Zero.

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

ITV News film Gaza from an aid drop flight

Since Dec 2023 the UK's RAF has flown 500+ flights over Gaza gathering intelligence, photographing, and filming, they literally have a record of the destruction of Gaza and have said nothing

Decent politicians need to push back against Farage's comments on Lucy Connelly.
"millions of mothers after Southport feeling exactly the same way"?
No.
Millions did NOT feel the need to call for mass murder of asylum seekers & we simply cannot allow the idea to be normalised.

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States.
That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Let’s look at this perfect example of how rage baiting works, and how disinformation spreads, sticks, and fuels division, even years after being debunked…

To preserve democracy our Founders set up 3 separate branches of government – the Executive, the Legislature & the Judiciary.
Two are already corrupted. The last pillar standing is the Judiciary - the rule of Law. Trump is now intent on rendering it powerless so that he will have unfettered power
