Republicans may regret Trump's NC immigration crackdown in 2026 | Opinion (The Charlotte Observer)
Charlotte and Raleigh may be blue cities, but North Carolina is not a blue state. So it seems like a dubious decision on the part of President Donald Trump's...

Surely they jest!!
I have no idea why media continues to hype this person as a serious political commentator, but to go even further and float him as a viable presidential candidate is just farcical.

Aa handful of complicit sycophants does not count as "many great legal scholars." Also, they urged people to disobey illegal orders, which is part of their training and required by law.

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

It is a TOP priority of the GOP to get rid of vote by mail because they can’t intimidate and challenge voters based on race with mail in voting.
I wish I could believe that Dems will actually fight them on this, but we know Chuck and Hakeem. Whatever the AIPAC position is, is what they will do.

I hate that like the internet has nuked people's brains, I saw someone bitching about "why is the President ALWAYS! like 90!"
Obama was in his 40s, so was Bill Clinton, W was 54, just in the last 10 years have Presidents been old (and people could have voted for the 59 year old)

Trump's economy is shedding jobs
13,500 private payroll jobs were lost weekly, over the past 4 weeks
Wall Street will reward this. It increases the chances of Fed rate cuts, while American workers suffer, and continue to lose bargaining power

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.
