There’s a serious issue with our Supreme Court, and the next time we have the opportunity, we’ll need to bring balance back to it. They’ve been overruling lower courts all year. Since Trump took office, the White House has won 18 times at the Supreme Court, including a current 15case winning streak.

Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSC’s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the president’s directives.

US pushes nations facing tariffs to approve Musk’s Starlink. Wow the corruption. An internal State Department memo lays it bare:“As the government of Lesotho negotiates a trade deal with the United States, it hopes that licensing Starlink demonstrates goodwill and intent to welcome U.S. businesses.”

The forced removal of thousands of honorably serving trans service members is one of the most sweeping acts of government-imposed bigotry in modern times. Its shameful, unexplained 6-3 approval by the Supreme Court will weaken the armed forces and stain our nation’s legacy

Francis was the best Pope of my lifetime. He occupied the top of a powerful hierarchy while still challenging it. He provided a moral reminder of the values of decency, humility and empathy towards the vulnerable in a role, and at a time, where it easy to lose sight of those values.

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions.

In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment.

Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.
