Why does the NYT bother to ask for opinions if they aren’t interested in listening? There was no attempt at deep understanding…just a series of defensive responses.

He has obviously never been in the produce department of a grocery store. Nor has he met any of the Mexican immigrants who are my treasured friends and neighbors.

We’ve all seen our older family members doze off in the afternoon. We know what a person looks like when they’re dozing off. This is not someone just “resting his eyes.”

Makes me so angry! He’s always (falsely) bragging about how he’s reduced drug prices by 500%, etc. Instead, is causing health care costs to balloon all across the board.

Meanwhile, his dear leader DJT says the U.S. must be friends with communist North Korea, while weakening our support for South Korea, which is a democracy and longtime Ally..

He could have easily afforded to hire people privately to fight his private little fire, giving people in his community a chance to make money.

As one of Tillis‘s constituents, I’m kind of glad about this. But I would prefer that Tillis oppose him because of his unfitness for the job. If Blanche drops the immunity provision, that will not make him any more qualified.

He also leaves out the astronomically higher premiums for insurance under the ACA.

Congress needs to do something about this. Pass legislation to reform immigration!

In other words, fundamentally, Vance considers his own judgments to be morally superior to the Pope’s.

Thank you for posting these messages! It’s thrilling to see Hunter communicate with so much grace *and* conviction. I hope the messages will get through to at least some Republicans who are tired of the maga BS.

Rubio tried to make it sound admirable that Trump stays awake much of the night. But his poor sleep habits are highly concerning! They surely contribute to his poor job performance and his decreased mental capacity.

What is the objective here? If school teachers, EMTs, home health workers, social workers, and other chronically low-paid professionals can no longer get help with their education, our society will be in bad shape.

He’s too stupid to realize that it benefits everyone if a lot of people have health insurance. Ultimately, it costs the public more when people are uninsured.

Blanche is “acting” AG—i.e. never confirmed by the Senate. I don’t understand why this is allowed.

The American people are not going to buy this. We see hateful rhetoric, including death threats, both written and spoken, coming from the oval office every single day. We know it’s not “both sides.” We aren’t stupid and we’re not taking this anymore.

Yes, the president must be safe, his safety is more important than the safety of the rest of us. Beyond a doubt. And the second amendment must also be protected. I am so tired of this. Not a word about the safety of school children or the need to get control over the guns.

He thinks it’s-the reporting that’s problematic. It’s never his own actions that are problematic.

This same administration promised us the economy was going to roar ahead with tremendous growth in the first part of 2026. Remember that? And now they’re asking us to make sacrifices? Because they started a war and don’t know what to do about it?

Our elected leader promised the economy would be much improved in 2026. He said we were all going to be rich because of tariffs, or something like that. (Wake up, people, and admit it was all a lie.)

He gets a real charge out of this. He gets a thrill from spending obscene amounts of *our* tax dollars to kill people and throw the world into chaos. Most of us don’t doubt for a minute that our enlisted forces are competent. What we doubt is the competence and judgment of the White House!

Hegseth apparently sees the loss of Americans as collateral damage, of relatively minor importance, and not worthy of news coverage.

Can’t he understand that Americans do NOT like war. We don’t want the world to know us as warmongers. We want housing, healthcare, a livable environment. We want peace.

This answer is ridiculous. The story was all over the news. There’s no way that she missed that story.
