So great. What Trump is doing to the White House is incredibly illegal and wrong, and it needs to stop.
Goal here should be to force him to restore the East Wing not build a gilded ballroom.

How it started: Trump promised cheaper everything on Day One.
How it’s going: Nearly a year later, prices are higher, nothing is cheaper, and Trump is on a blame-tour calling affordability a “scam.”

BREAKING: Albuquerque's Democratic Mayor Tim Keller has won his reelection bid.
Immigration emerged as one key contrast in this race. Keller earlier this year issued an executive order limiting local collaboration with ICE, while challenger Darren White said he'd roll it back.

This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee.
But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.

This Hegseth controversy is strange. That all of these extrajudicial killings of people in boats are criminal has been obvious from the beginning. Rather bizarre that everyone in government and media is suddenly agreeing that one specific set of murders is the only potentially incriminating point.
