Something about the shooting yesterday doesn't feel right.
It feels too convenient. A vetted Afgan national that was granted asylum, randomly shoots a National Guardsman near the WH for no reason right when the NG was set to leave DC because there was no violence.
Now the NG is not leaving DC.

It feels like hard work is being rewarded less and the American Dream feels more out of reach than ever.
But instead of bringing down the cost of living like he promised, Trump is more focused on a tacky golden ballroom, starting trade wars, and giving taxpayer-funded bailouts to Argentina.

Trump threatened to go “guns-a-blazing” in Nigeria and revoke all foreign assistance from the country.
This kind of reckless approach to foreign policy is incredibly irresponsible and dangerous.

Your Black Friday deals may be less of a bargain this year, thanks to Trump’s chaotic tariffs. His economic policies are raising costs for small businesses and consumers and hurting our economy—all to fuel tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

Why Black Friday discounts could be stingier this year
Some businesses say steeper U.S. tariffs this year give them less financial room to offer holiday savings.

Today my thoughts are with the family and loved ones of Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom.
As a mother and veteran, I am devastated by the senseless killing of a young woman who signed up to serve our country.
I’m also praying for the full recovery of U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe.

Honest courtrooms are vital for every American.
Column: Be thankful for the judges upholding the law
On immigration alone, more than 100 federal judges — including many Trump appointees — have ruled that the administration’s actions violated civil rights or were otherwise illegal.

Republicans are determined to let the Affordable Care Act tax credits expire.
These extremists haven’t done a damn thing to address the high cost of living.
And that’s why working class Americans are abandoning the GOP in droves.

Today on Native American Heritage Day, we honor indigenous cultures whose influence and contributions are evident in communities across the country. Arizona is a special place, and the 22 tribes that call our state home are a big reason for it.

If what Miller says is true, why does research consistently show that immigrants (including the undocumented) commit fewer crimes than U.S.-born citizens?
