Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela?

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable.

Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

Kagan is completely right. Using the shadow docket to OVERRULE nearly a century precedent is an extraordinary act.
Kagan is nonplussed.

They voted to cut Medicaid and SNAP not because there was fraud or waste, but because it benefits the ultra-wealthy.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

66,000 tons of food are rotting away in USAID warehouses thanks to Trump and DOGE.

That's enough food to feed more than a million people in the world's poorest countries for three months — including over 480,000 kids.

In today's edition of we f*cking told you so...

The GOP’s latest budget proposal does not cut the deficit.

The plan would add TRILLIONS to the deficit by 2034, locking in tax cuts for the wealthy while slashing Medicaid and nutrition assistance.

This is a HUGE scandal.

Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud.

Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%.

Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.
DOGE went looking for phone fraud at SSA — and found almost none
Since SSA installed new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, only two claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent, according to internal documents obtained by Nextgov/FCW...

What we’re watching this week is the President of the United States using his public office to personally enrich himself. He’s using the office we put him in to take bribes from foreign governments.

It’s everything our Founders feared. And we’re letting it all happen right before our eyes.
