1. If you're in a hole: stop digging! 2.The current deficit is not Biden's fault 3. Release the Epstein Files 4. End the needless war in Iran 5. Everybody should resign and let people who know what they're doing and care about the American people to take charge.

He is attempting to turn our nation's Capitol into a militarized zone. What is he afraid of? Could it be that he knows his actions could spur a rebellion? Is he preparing to hold office by fiat and defend it by use of the military? Be aware, be concerned, Act Now, before it is too late.

WTAF!!?? He already has National Guard troops patrolling the streets of DC; he is building a bunker under the ballroom, and now he is creating a military outpost at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery.

I appreciate a human interest story as much as anyone, but I don't understand why the front page of the National section of today's New York Times is devoted to the plight of two inexperienced jet-skiers. Seems to me there are a lot more newsworthy items in these United States. Epstein files, etc.

I can’t believe Trump calling the Iran war “small potatoes” after 18 U.S. service members have been killed and hundreds more injured isn’t a MUCH bigger story in the news.

They should also establish a sub-committee in both Houses to address the crimes, malfeasance, and corruption of the current regime. But, that needs to run in the background in a fully public manner. They should not seek revenge, they should seek justice. See also: Watergate Investigation&Committee.

OPINION: When the Democrats gain control of Congress, their main focus should be on implementing measures that reduce the deficit and expand programs that focus on making American lives better. Healthcare, Education, Tax Reform, and overturning Citizens United, among others.

Oh, the irony. It would be easy to accept the plight of the farmers/ranchers as karma. But this is another example of an industry that is too big to fail. Instead of pumping money into a foolish, unnecessary war, we should provide subsidies and support to these people. Starting with the smallest.

Seems to me that he would want to immediately file suit against all involved, unless the allegations are true. The best way to quash the rumors is to release the facts. INDICT, PROSECUTE, CONVICT, IMPRISON.

And, while the right fights the left, the wealthy aren't able to count how much money they're making at the expense of the poor. We need to re-regulate all media, not to censor anybody, but to hold them to a standard that requires truth, evidence, and ethics.

Then, social media picked up on it and broadcast misinformation for all the world to read. People on the fringe in both sides of the spectrum found kindred spirits and validation. Politicians found that appealing to their electorate's base instincts got them elected.

IMHO: The media has lost the plot. It used to be regulated and held to certain standards. Once the Wild West of cable came into being, those guardrails were removed. FOX and other outlets were allowed to spew lies; CNN went from news to entertainment and opinion.

Just saw the top 5 trending topics on this platform. It did not include the EPSTEIN FILES! Has that topic been retired because it held its place on the list for so long? Or have all the distractions worked? We must continue the drumbeat and draw attention to that corruption.

MAGA? We are wasting money on ballrooms, statues, botched reflecting pools, airports, and a war in Iraq. All while GDP growth is less than 25% of Biden's growth during the same period, the deficit continues to soar, infrastructure funds are cut off, education grants are in jeopardy...

Russians have been flying over to give birth for years. Pushing the limits of flight restrictions, and staying as long as it takes. Chasing better care, better outcomes, and US citizenship. You can't boast that you're the BEST COUNTRY ON EARTH and not expect people to want to be part of it.

Most of the people & most places in the United States are special. But, the underlying problems of a broken education system, a bloated military budget, a poorly performing healthcare system, and a government breakdown by all three branches still remain. Celebrate our appearance, fix our problems.

What gives Trump the privilege of taking the Qatar1 to his presidential library? My reading of the appropriate laws indicates that a President can not accept a gift from a foreign government. He can only accept on behalf of the United States. What am I missing?

Has Harvard Law, or the American Bar Association, reached a conclusion on whether a sitting President can pardon themselves? Or, is it a moot point since the newly elevated Vice President could grant the pardon anyway? Now is the time to have that debate. It should not linger in the courts later on.
