All signs point to Democrats having a very good 2026 and 2028, especially if Republicans continue down the let’s cut Medicaid train.

There has been no confirmation the Secret Service was by her table when a man who sure sounds like a professional thief—or spy—took valuable, national security-implicating items from her. And there is no statement about who she was with. And she is rumored to be in an affair.

BREAKING: The Court has folded. The Trump administration wins.
As expected.
Shame on those major-media journalists who falsely told the public yesterday that the Supreme Court order upheld rule of law.
In fact, it facilitated this travesty of justice today. It is unlikely Garcia will ever return.

he wants to abolish the income tax and fund the government almost entirely through tariffs, thereby delivering the most regressive bonanza to the rich in the history of American taxation. He has said this many many times. He said it *at the announcement* and yet pieces like this just ignore it.
