WOWOWOWOW! Trump PISSED OFF his allies in Indiana from his bullying and incitement of death threats and swatting attempts. It backfired BIG TIME.
When his own party is showing signs of being FED UP, it gives hope that MAGA is collapsing. It won't die for good until the cult leader is gone though.

Thank you, Indiana Republicans, for not bending the knee.

Making people’s healthcare skyrocket while you control the White House and both chambers of Congress seems like a great move for the midterms.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

The reason we don’t sell H200, and other advanced chips to China is that they have dual-use (military and civilian) capability.
These will help China improve their AI, surveillance, and cyber espionage capability.
The export controls existed strictly for NatSec purposes.

ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff then admitted they had no warrant to be on campus.

If the Court hands Trump this power, watchdogs meant to defend workers, consumers, elections, and civil service neutrality become tools to punish enemies and shield allies. It’s a blueprint for authoritarian governance and the Supreme Court is signaling it might let him have it.

This case could shatter nearly a century of bipartisan, semi-insulated commissions. A ruling for Trump means any president can fire regulators for political obedience not misconduct. Enforcement, investigations, and protections could swing wildly with every whim of the White House.
