Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.
Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Trump issues order to ban transgender troops from serving openly in the military
The executive order speaks of transgender identity in sweeping and dismissive terms and sets the stage for a policy that is more restrictive and punitive than the ban from Trump's first term.

Shamefully, the federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009 and remains at $7.25/hr.

His response?
"No sir."
