For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.

US Citizen, with a valid drivers license, is traumatized by ICE at a checkpoint if FL.

Her crime, per ICE — she didn’t roll down her window far enough.

All of this…because they couldn’t be bothered to check her ID.

What are we doing? Why are these gestapo tactics being allowed to continue?

In high school, I received a failing grade on a math test because I used Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" instead of a trigonometry table to solve the equations. It was, clearly, a violation of my right to free speech.
Trans graduate assistant Mel Curth has been removed from her position at the University of Oklahoma after a Christian student complained a failing grade she received in a psychology essay – because she cited the Bible rather than empirical evidence – was a violation of her right to free speech.

It turns out, when you mix the 2016 video of Pete Hegseth talking about troops not following unlawful orders with the recent Democratic PSA on the same subject, their message flows together pretty seamlessly.

So Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump really just want Mark Kelly to run for POTUS and humiliate JD Vance, right?

Dear CBS News personalities: The Canadians' ad did not portray Reagan's tariff policy fraudulently, and you do not have to repeat the president's false characterization of it.

Or if your new boss insists that you do, you can at least point out that it's false.
