Donald Trump cannot cancel the 2026 elections. But he can make it very difficult for them to be free and fair. His executive order is aimed at doing just that.
Here is my promise: We are going to sue to stop him and we will win.

SCOOP: House Democratic leadership is "very unhappy" with those who went beyond traditional protest tactics, such as outfit coordination and refusal to clap during Trump's speech to Congress.

Your tax dollars are paying for the richest man in the world to fly around when he has his own jets.
🚨 BREAKING: This is beyond outrageous. Elon Musk, his cranky mother Maye, and one of his young kids were chauffeured in Air Force One and Marine One—straight to the White House, where they’re apparently staying.
WTF is going on? It goes without saying, this is not normal. 🙄

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signs a bill that strikes gender identity from Iowa civil rights law, making the state the first to remove civil rights from a previously protected class.
