I wonder if this is the best time to make such significant structural changes to a program that has helped the Democratic Party train and elect candidates. But what do I know? I'm just a voter.

This is illegal! The Trump administration is instructing managers across the federal government (regardless of employee performance) to ensure that at least 80 percent of staff receive a 3 out of 5 rating, making them easier to terminate and easier to justify in court.

We’ve had people from the U.S. and abroad asking whether the information on the White House website is even accurate anymore. The site has become unreliable, filled with blatantly false and deliberately misleading content.

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said.

Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

He’s scrambling.

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

You absolutely have the constitutional right to record ICE, Border Patrol, or any law enforcement officer in public, and with everything happening in Charlotte right now, people need to understand that clearly.

Trump went on Truth Social to slam Indiana Republicans for refusing to advance a redistricting plan that would eliminate several Democratic-leaning seats. He warned that if GOP leaders in the state Senate don’t reverse course, he’s prepared to back primary challengers against them.

We stand with Rep. Jasmine Crockett in calling for an end to voting machines owned by Dominion. Our voting systems should never be controlled by anyone aligned with MAGA politics. It’s time to push for statewide bans on these machines.
