Nothing soothes the souls and hearts of people whose children have made the ultimate sacrifice like knowing the President has a cool new room to eat well-done steak with ketchup

U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this. Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.

All talk. No action. Putting Ohioans’ first isn’t difficult. Ohioans have been clear; we need a conditional moratorium to lower costs, end NDAs and protect communities. Ramaswamy is making it clear he can’t be trusted to put Ohioans’ first

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

New in PN: The blackmail part out loud "Trump immediately insisted he was 'only kidding.' But that too is a lie — he's already refused to pay promised funds for North Carolina’s relief, FEMA funds to blue states in the wake of disasters, and attempted to use blackmail to swing election results."

One time, and I promise this is true, Bush gave a flip remark about violence while playing golf and it became a defining moment for his legacy. This president shrugging about a war he started while overseas at a golf tournament that is lining his own pockets won’t be remembered in two weeks.

Inflation eating up worker pay. Household debt and student loan defaults at a record high. 8 million people have lost healthcare the past year. Thousands have been sickened by disease outbreaks and contaminated food. Trump says, "Pretend I'm on the ballot" ahead of the midterms. Please do.

Article is behind a paywall, but the headline tells the story. We all have different considerations when it comes to voting. Some have access concerns, others have safety concerns. But the strong preference is voting early in-person if you are able to do so. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

While they don’t want to discourage casting ballots by mail, progressives are prioritizing other voting methods ahead of the midterms.

It is not a "grim choice" to support either a psychotic Republican or a mainstream center-left politician.
he Michigan Senate election has presented liberals with a grim choice. The Republican candidate, Mike Rogers, has pledged support for a corrupt, racist, authoritarian-minded administration. Rogers hasn’t made even the tiniest concession to Donald Trump critics. But supporting El-Sayed means accepting a strain of anti-Semitic politics that to date has had no place within the Democratic Party.

What’s more, El-Sayed has already said that he intends to use his victory as a platform to reshape the party. Him winning could invite a future in which the United States has not just one party that is open to bigots but two.

Although El-Sayed has never said anything nearly as inflammatory as the sorts of comments Piker makes routinely, his mixture of anti-Zionism and populism treats pro-Israel activism as a nefarious and all-pervasive force. He has denied that any Democrat who believes in human rights could have any motive other than money for holding a position on Israel different from the one he prefers. El-Sayed tends to depict nearly all opposition to his candidacy as financially driven, but when applied to Jewish political activity,  this charge becomes even more conspiratorial.

Walmart gets a big tariff refund and promises to lower its prices. So now prices will be closer to where they were BEFORE Trump's tariffs? And is that supposed to make up for the higher prices customers ALREADY PAID due to the tariffs? If you feel like you are losing your marbles, you are not.
