So irresponsible to their viewers. Nobody should watch this propaganda network.
The contents of the GOP tax bill are horrifically unpopular among those who are aware of them — but many aren't. Our data shows that Fox News is largely trying to avoid discussing them altogether.

We're preparing for hurricane season with a gutted FEMA.
3 red states make up half of damage claims. Florida leads with $450B in costs, followed by Texas & Louisiana.
Where will DeSantis find that much money to help residents recover? Don't count on Casey's HOPE Foundation!

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers.
In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them.
So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:
1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively.
These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

In a nutshell:
— The Espionage Act contains a provision that criminalizes the disclosure of national secrets through gross negligence.
— The law does not require that the info be classified, it refers simply to national defense information.
Arrest them. Immediately.

Rubio's gutting of USAID is illegal and unconstitutional. There is no form of democracy anywhere of any kind that would allow the executive branch to unilaterally cancel budgets and programs passed by the legislative branch and signed into law. It's utter lawlessness.
