Yes. Collapsing all fed law enforcement into one undifferentiated, untrained, masked force. "Agents said they worried the changes would transform the FBI from an investigative agency focused on national security into something more akin to a federal police force..." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u...

The problem with James Dobson's busybody "Focus on the Family" is that it was focused on YOUR family, not his.

This is a BIG win. Every family deserves affordable groceries — no matter their zip code. I investigated Stop & Shop for price-hiking working-class families. Now, they’re lowering prices in Massachusetts.

At least one ex-president is speaking up - and speaking good sense. President Obama is supporting Gavin Newsom in his redistricting effort and his campaign to show just how stupid the current president is! Thank you Barack !

Donald doesn't care about the lives of Ukrainians or their kidnapped children. It is clear that he only cares about being seen as an incompetent negotiator in Alaska. Good. Because he *was* an incompetent negotiator in Alaska (and everywhere else). I'm glad this is bothering him so much.

We need a new Administration in the WH. Back before Ronald Reagan we didn't have to buy school supplies. We taxed the rich their fair share instead of making those least able bear the weight.

Texas hasn't received FEMA aid yet. The callous disregard from officials is shocking. I hope Texans remember this in 2026. Ultimately, it seems the priority is enriching the wealthy using funds collected from struggling individuals.

Being penalized for political speech is not unique to the Trump administration. When I was a writer for the WhiteHouse.Org website, which mercilessly spoofed the George W. Bush administration, I constantly got "SSSS" written on my boarding passes. My carry-on was placed on the gangway and searched.
