Despite wall-to-wall promotion, a cross-country tour, and interviews with top Trump officials, Tony Dokoupil’s "CBS Evening News" debut has delivered a ratings dud—and perhaps exposed the limits of Bari Weiss' MAGA-ification of the network.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

Some politicians say they want a “Christian Nation” until it comes to:
Providing healthcare for the sick
Funding food assistance for the hungry
Raising the minimum wage for the poor
They want to base our laws on the Bible until they read the words of Jesus.
