Trump promised to end inflation on day one. But his inflation has nearly wiped out all wage gains since January 2025.

Taxation without representation, anyone? Only Republicans would make a plant that grows naturally across their state illegal
Texas just made cannabis a felony after 70% of voters voted to legalize it. That's what happens when incarceration rates go down and for-profit prisons start to lose money

It is shocking that some Americans have become so desensitized to Trump’s disregard for the law. As someone of partial Latino heritage, I am deeply repulsed by the way he treats immigrants and by his disregard for human life and the law.

With Talarico now the slight favorite in the race, national Republicans have flooded Texas' airwaves with commercials to save Paxton's flagging campaign. That makes sense. Any Texan who has turned on the TV in the past few weeks already knows that Talarico is "for they/them" and seen the ad where a Latino boy gets hit with a Transgenderification Beam and turns into a beautiful woman. But much of the nation was confused about why they, non-Texans, were seeing this stuff while trying to watch the Philadelphia Eagles-Los Angeles Rams game on Sunday.
