BREAKING: Democrat James Malone won a shocking, historic special election victory in Pennsylvania’s Senate District 36 — a district that went to Trump by 15 points and has a 23-point Republican voter registration advantage. Voters are fed up with the Trump-Musk agenda!

Jeffrey Goldberg, Editor of the Atlantic: "The reason I knew this (an impending U.S. attack) is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing."

Trump’s latest attack on Social Security could lead to longer wait times and cause “significant” payment disruptions — especially in rural areas. It's one step closer to Elon Musk’s goal of eliminating hard-earned benefits that working families earned while funding tax breaks for billionaires.

Trump kept claiming this is America's “golden age” — but Americans disagree. Consumer confidence has fallen sharply, everyday costs are skyrocketing, and the GOP is pushing unpopular tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. A smug, dishonest State of the Union speech won't change that.
