Stephen Miller Says Trump has “Plenary Authority”. He does not. Plenary authority means ultimate authority that doesn’t answer to anyone else. Our Constitution provides for checks and balances so that no one would have that kind of authority.

Conscription is coming especially when the enemy at home becomes emboldened after the insurrection act is invoked.

Congratulations! By next year, you’ll be facing higher prices for milk and eggs. Tragically, your girlfriend passed away from sepsis, and you’ve been drafted.

Many Republicans quietly agree that something needs to be done about the Trump-led healthcare cost crisis, and we need to get them on the record to pressure GOP leadership into negotiating an end to the shutdown. Make sure your Members of Congress hear from you: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Remarkable to me that when it comes to the NYC mayor race, if you turn to NYT, you get gushing rancid hysteria, but if you turn to the New Yorker, you get interesting insights and analysis. The practice of political journalism at NYT has fallen into the sewer.

The thirty-three-year-old socialist is rewriting the rules of New York politics. Can he transform the city as mayor?

This is depravity masquerading as journalism. Trump a "peacemaker abroad". Nope. Polling makes clear that people around the world view Trump and his friend Putin as the two world leaders most responsible for violence around the world.
