I don't mean to make waves or anything, but as a journalist, I am definitely opposed to the president talking about arresting journalists.

Going into the election can we focus on "home of the brave" when we are being lead by a 5x draft dodging coward? We can and should do better.

It also counted Mark Zuckerberg’s $4.1 billion compensation as research spending to claim a $355 million tax break. Apparently when you’re worth $2 trillion, a data center is a science experiment and your CEO’s $4 billion payday is research.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

Todd Blanche now says "one-sided news" is a national security threat worth barring the press over. That's not a legal standard. It's a viewpoint test. I didn’t go to law school…and didn’t need to, to know that the First Amendment exists to STOP government from judging which coverage is balanced.

Calling something “illegal” only matters if the law is actually enforced. Mike Johnson and the Supreme Court need to enforce it. No president should be free to ignore the law to punish enemies, reward allies, and enrich himself.
