Rogers 2.0 stands by Trump, and until about 5 minutes ago he stood by Trump’s tariffs too—rationalizing them as “necessary” bc “the Canadians have not been good partners.” His flip-flop drew instant attention from local outlets, including the Freep & Detroit News. www.thebulwark.com/p/republican...

For Mike Rogers, it sure beats talking about Donald Trump and what he’s done to Michigan.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

You should never have to wonder whether soldiers are watching you vote. This footage shows uniformed troops standing beside an official ballot drop box in Washington, D.C. Who sent them there? What were their orders?

By executing Nidal Malik Hasan in broad daylight for the mass murder of 14 innocent adults, Pete Hegseth is himself setting precedent of how to deal with mass murderers for when he faces accountability for mass murdering 165 innocent Iranian children.

18% of voters pick 52 senators. Democrats won 7 of the last 9 presidential popular votes yet hold just 3 SCOTUS seats. Republicans have a tilted House map and a huge cash advantage, and they STILL want to suppress votes. Imagine having the casino rigged and being afraid to deal the cards.

The war in Iran is the reason gas is $5 and diesel is $7. Mike Rogers has been cheerleading the war since the beginning, calling it a win, win, win. I don't know about you, but when I fill up my tank I don't feel like I'm winning.
