Johnson has sold his soul to appease Donald Trump.
People who call themselves Christians but lie, cheat and steal are the worse kind.

I don't know what is going on with her but I'm not buying the "I care about people" attitude she's portraying now"

If Trump's laying off 'non essential' government employees, how the fuck is Stephen Miller still employed?

They don't care how many that will be put in financial ruins over this.
When they shut down the government they should not be drawing pay as well.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Imagine opening a letter saying your health insurance costs are about to rise by thousands, even tens of thousands, next year.

That’s the reality for millions of Americans later this month if we don’t extend ACA tax credits.

I won’t stand by while people are priced out of the care they need.
