Blaming Biden for every damn thing has gotten really old.
Trump swore he’d fix everything on “day one,” and his voters swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.
Folks are finally waking up to the scam. And this poll is not just Democrats.

My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK.
He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen.
His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

He commits crimes against humanity to stop “drug traffickers” while pardoning a notorious drug trafficker.

That's how many times the "drug" boat would have to refuel. This is so illegal and Pete Hegseth is putting our military in a war crimes arena.

President Trump has now pardoned 12 members of Congress convicted of crimes varying from tax evasion, campaign corruption, lying to the FBI, bribery, insider trading, obstruction, etc.

Bold strategy. We had to kill them without a trial, because otherwise we couldn't kill them. You know there is a word for killing someone without justifiable cause. Murder. That's what they are admitting to.

Congratulations to Justin Crosby (D) on his election victory in Mississippi CD22 — he flipped the newly redrawn seat by defeating the incumbent with approximately 53 % of the vote.
This win is part of a broader shift after court-ordered map revisions aimed at increasing majority-Black districts.
