The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

I’m mildly surprised that Republican voters and America Firsters have bought Scott Bessent’s bullshit that American taxpayers aren’t shipping billions to Argentina to bail out the massive personal investments of Bessent’s friends. I guess loyalty to these crooks takes precedent.

Mike Johnson has had the House adjourned for weeks to avoid a vote on the Epstein files.

Is it really too much to ask to simply have House Republicans show up to work once in a while?

Now Letitia James. If you oppose Trump his minions will prosecute you. This is fascism in America.

Every time a Trump scandal surfaces, the predictable chaos follows. Now it’s Tom Homan, the White House border czar, who was caught accepting $50,000 in cash during an FBI undercover operation, and the DOJ is scrambling to contain the fallout.

Their attempt to spin away their border czar's bribery scandal isn't going so well

Why is Speaker Johnson refusing to call the House back in to session to pay our troops, and negotiate a solution to save healthcare and open government? This military spouse is not alone, and we need to act to help her and all those we represent. The clock is ticking Mr. Speaker.

He’ll never get the Nobel Peace Prize and the Epstein files are coming out whether he likes it or not. The question is how much has he been able to alter or destroy.

FBI fires a Jack Smith aide just before pension eligibility, a vindictive purge masquerading as discipline. Two agents ousted, a third punished, weaponizing HR to chill anyone who probed the boss and converting justice into loyalty tests.

FBI Fires Trump Nemesis Aide Just Before Agent Eligible for Retirement

The fired agent now may not be able to have access to their government pension.

Swearing in Adelita Grijalva is inevitable. The discovery that Trump is all over the Epstein files is inevitable. Republican House members had better think carefully, they’re about to spend the 2026 election cycle explaining why they supported a pedophile.

It's so ridiculous that MAGAs believe the GOP line that "Democrats want to give free healthcare to immigrants."

My dudes immigrants aren't getting free healthcare in the United States. American citizens aren't even getting free healthcare. You know who is?

The people lying to you about immigrants.

Every bit of chaos caused by the orange felon and his MAGA regime is meant to distract away from the fact that they are continuing to hide/cover up the Epstein files and protect the wealthy powerful sex trafficking pedophile rapists that are named in those files.
