This draft dodger, who liked to pretend he was in the military by wearing this cute little costume in high school, is planning to use our real military domestically against US citizens. This violates the Posse Comitatus Act enacted in 1878 to stop our military being used as a domestic police force.

Women voters may want to watch what's happening here in Texas. It's reasonable to conclude that the #GOP and its #MAGA, Christian nationalist allies are trying to make it harder for you to vote. If this passes, your state may be next.

Republicans are pulling the rug out from under the clean tech industry. The way to read the text is a full repeal of the tax credits. They’ve proposed shifting tax credit eligibility from when projects commences construction to when they’re operational. This will gut clean energy development.

The new prime minister of Canada and the new pope kind of remind me of each other. It's remarkably nice to have some world leaders who are low-key and a little humble.

Congrats on your Gators. Did not see it since I'm in New Zealand (where I may or may not be first home shopping? Given the prices and Trump stock market -- not likely. 😂😢) and time tables are all screwed up. Now if Florida can only play football. Cheers, amigo.

Look what we have here. Another #MAGA pervert arrested for sex crimes. What a SHOCK, I'm telling.
At least he doesn't have a high post in Trump's cabinet. Yet.

No question about it. Once upon a time the U.S. supported free nations either invaded by or threatened by invaders. We poured immense amounts of aid into the Soviet Union during World War II.

Michael Fanone was a U.S. Capitol Police officer on Jan. 6, 2001. He got the hell beat out of him.

Last week, a MAGA drove to Fanone's mother's home, berated and cussed her, said she and her son were traitors. Then the MAGA threw a bag of s**t on Fanone's 76-year-old mother.

This will mean higher gas prices, higher alcohol prices, higher food prices, higher building prices, higher car prices, higher pharmaceutical prices, etc. Trump is about to teach Americans who *actually* pays for tariffs (the consumers do).
