Need proof that Tarriffs will affect us in a big way ? My daughter is getting married in June so I needed to buy a dress . The company warned that prices would be going up so I ordered mine before they did. The dress went up by $70.00 !

No one reads you. We will not pay for news we can read for free. You even took away the Live updates that people could read for free. I skip your page entirely and so do millions of others. No cable either. Bye Bye.

Stephen Miller lining the White House drive with mug shots of migrants is another sign that he's trying to acclimate, boiled-frog style, us to fascist imagery and tactics.

That's why it's so critical that the middle of the country is recoiling at it:

When you have no substance, image is all you have. Hegseth is a moron. The only thing he has left is the MAGA "warfighter" crap. That is why SIGNALGATE is so devastating. Even idiot MAGA can see how stupid this is.

Trump’s push to gut civil service protections under "Schedule F" would make government a loyalty test — not a meritocracy.

Veterans who continue serving as public servants would be forced to swear fealty to Trump — or lose their jobs.

That's not democracy. That's dictatorship.

House Republicans are trying to ram through a budget that ends Medicaid as we know it and discards the interests of children, seniors and veterans.

Trump has set up a new club where CEOs, tech bros, and foreign oligarchs can pay $500,000 to join in order to get access to the Trump Cabinet who will all be there regularly.

Just because the grift is all public doesn’t mean this isn’t the most corrupt White House in history.

Trump’s DOJ reverses protections for journalists. Meanwhile, Trump wears a blue suit to the Pope’s funeral, Putin mocks his “warnings,” and MAGA elites launch a $500k pay-to-play club in DC. Catch up with our weekend bulletin:

Trump’s top officials lied through their teeth about his trade war. Why? Because that’s what he hired them to do.

5/ Trump's violation of law was so brazen the Supreme Court stepped in. In a rare 9-0 ruling, they said Trump had to bring Abrego Garcia back.

But in the video above, you see Trump advisor Miller lying through his teeth and saying Trump won the ruling 9-0.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.
