Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.

President Trump, I am calling on you to fire Secretary Kennedy immediately.

He has contributed to this measles outbreak by spreading falsehoods about vaccines.

His reckless rhetoric will cost lives.

These people didn’t just break the rules they set the rulebook on fire, shoved it down a storm drain, and then lectured the rest of us about ‘law and order.’ This isn’t a justice system it’s a crime scene.

Blue states are suing to get those funds released. Trump would rather see poor kids starve while he builds his ballroom.

Two private jets for Kristi Noem. Endless funding for ICE’s reign of terror. And now, a glorious new ballroom. But nothing for Americans on the brink of hunger.
Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.

It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

Actor Robert De Niro: “I like what Letitia James is doing. She’s fighting back. She’s saying fuck you. I’m sorry, this is where we are. She’s saying this is it. I will not be taken down by this person. I am not afraid of him. God bless her for that.”

Using DOJ to go after Trump's political opponents is wrong.
Vindictive prosecutions are wrong.
Selective prosecutions are wrong.

The involvement of "career prosecutors" does not change any of this or make it better -- it just shows that some career prosecutors are willing to work for this regime.
