DC might be safe for MTG, but it’s not safe FROM her. #DCSTATEHOOD
Can Dems also insist on STATEHOOD for DC now that Trump is sicking the feds on them???!
Please demand STATEHOOD for DC! With federal troops on the streets, now is the time!
Dems should demand statehood for DC. This is your chance!
I don’t know why Dems aren’t using this as an opportunity to demand STATEHOOD for DC! If Trump wants to put federal forces in DC, it stands to reason that the citizens deserve federal representation.
Meanwhile, back at home: Trump's Big Beautiful Bill will make the poor poorer and the rich richer. Regressivity is even worse if you layer on Trump's tariffs. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Of course we all know that this will not impact people equally. Poor people with starve.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

He will take this jet after he leaves office over America’s dead body. Which is possible after four years of the felon in chief.
His white supremacy ideology is in full view for all the world to see. Good job, America! 🤬
In an Oval Office meeting with the South African president, Trump lied and described a private memorial in South Africa, the Witkruis Monument, as a "burial site" for white farmers. The private monument has been criticized for honoring only white victims.
I have! Remember when James Comey sabotaged Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign 11 days before Election Day?! And let it fester for NINE days when turned out to be a big nothing burger! 😡
He should be THANKING comey for throwing the 2016 election to him, instead of investigating him.
Dems should explain the 10 year cost now so that when they are in office again, they can remind people of who is to blame for the exploding deficit.
Impeachment is our only remedy.
America First seems more like anywhere BUT America!
Then boy did we elect the wrong guy! And party!
Banana republic! How far America has fallen.
It sounds like he is letting republicans know they better help him out or he’ll keep his money.

On the plus side, the weight loss injections that surely the taxpayers are paying for, is deflating him.
Why is the criminal in chief still roaming the streets and squatting in our Oval Office??! We can and should impeach the felon!
I still maintain that while Biden stuttered and forgot words, his “operating system” was fully intact.

Quite the rebuke. Federal court: "Secretary [Noam]’s actions appear predicated on negative stereotypes casting class-wide aspersions." Orders postponement of DHS decision to terminate the status of over 600,000 Venezuelan nationals who have legal status to reside and work temporarily in US.
Trump's firm has benefited from Trump's actions as president and is selling to foreign investors who could have an interest in currying favor with him. Several investors in his firm have been accused of wrongdoing, including one whose fraud case was suspended after he invested.
So they’re moving to historical fiction now. That makes sense.
Yeah, they’re willing to call Trump’s bluff. Americans can’t take short term pain, they can.
Did anyone ever buy his good guy act anyway?! He’s just an opportunist, simple as that.
May they never be able to get a job again.
Capitulating has its consequences too. Perhaps doing the right thing when it counts will actually even benefit you.
Abusers usually get their way quicker after long term abuse. This is not an impressive stat and these are not impressive candidates.
