LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

On Wednesday, the U.S. national debt surpassed $40 trillion for the first time in history. @joe-scarborough.bsky.social condemns President Donald Trump over the number, saying the president — who once campaigned on paying down the national debt — is responsible for an outsized portion of it.

Our Constitution expressly forbids control of our elections by the President (Art. I.4). State legislatures & Congress have that power, exclusively. No Democrat or Republican who swore to uphold our Constitution, but devotes themselves to shredding it, should last one hour in high office.

As a Christian, I don't think federal agencies should be referring to "Christ, our Savior" in any context. I don't need my government to validate my faith. That's why it's called faith. More importantly, my government shouldn't be invalidating the religions of other Americans.

Here is what you need to know about the SAVE Act: 1. It started as a stunt to protect Mike Johnson's speakership. 2. It has evolved into a massive voter suppression bill. 3. It won't pass. 4. When it fails Trump will escalate. 5. We will fight and win. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

The SAVE Act started as a political stunt. Now it's a real threat.

As we entered 2026, it became clear that Republicans were set up to lose control of Congress in the midterm elections. What followed was predictable.
