Not surprisingly, most of the U.S. tariffs are being paid by American companies and consumers — NOT by foreign exporters.

The destruction of the East Wing is distressing. The Whitehouse is the people's house, not Trump's house.

Plus the cost for something that is not needed. Wasteful. Where's DOGE now?

Who took on the job of doing the actual destruction? Shame on them.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

When we got to the actual marching, there were so many people we had to shuffle.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting:

Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial

Instead of helping our farmers, the Administration is sending a $20 billion bailout to Argentina.

Even as Argentina is taking markets away from our farmers.

As the American Soybean Association put it: “The frustration is overwhelming.”

www.axios.com/2025/09/24/t...

The U.S. helped Argentina, then Argentine farmers made a deal with China

It's a harsh blow to already struggling U.S. soybean farmers, and illustrates the complex implications of rescuing a close ally.
