Xi's pitying expression is the most striking thing to me. Melania's withering contempt and Trump's sociopathic stare are normal; we see them all the time.

The Sept. 26 AI-generated post by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino Jr., a longtime Trump aide, showed him and others celebrating post-state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping. This is really going to resonate with everyday Americans. They are so out of touch. It's astonishing.

Is he worried that a civil war will erupt and that he will need to use drones and snipers on the American people?
At the strong request of the United States
Military, and for National Security purposes, I
have agreed to convert the magnificent
Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era
many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining
the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade
Military Complex/ Triumphal Arch, to house, store,
and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of
drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza
areas, and additionally have and hold large
quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. There
will be no facility like this anywhere in the World.
Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals,
Washington, D.c., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE
WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL
ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of
them all! Thank you for your attention to this
matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Using 2024 census data, approximately 245 million U.S. adults are eligible, resulting in a total payout of about $1.226 trillion. Congress will never approve it, no matter who controls it.

When someone who never served—and allegedly used bone spurs to avoid it—posts AI images portraying himself as a veteran in uniform, does that count as “stolen valor”? Asking on behalf of those who actually served and their families.

Why are Republican leaders going to such great lengths to prevent the disclosure of the Epstein files?
House Speaker Mike Johnson has canceled House voting sessions for the weeks of September 21 and 28, leaving only four working days after Labor Day before a lengthy recess. Rep. Thomas Massie, joined by Rep. Ro Khanna, has launched a discharge petition for the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which would allow state attorneys general, victims, and members of Congress to sue the Justice Department over withheld records. The petition has gathered more than 100 signatures but needs 218 to force a floor vote. Johnson dismissed Massie’s accusations as “stupid” and “nonsensical,” saying the Oversight Committee has already released documents while emphasizing the need to protect victim privacy. Critics from both parties argue the schedule change appears designed to delay scrutiny of Epstein’s powerful associates.

The federal government does not release data on how often its agents detain or deport U.S. citizens. Still, investigations by journalists, researchers, and oversight agencies have documented thousands of citizens detained, deported, or otherwise targeted by immigration authorities over decades.

U.S. economic comparison by presidential party, 1949–2025: Democratic 36 calendar years; Republican 41. Average annual real GDP growth: 3.65% versus 2.66%. Average December-to-December payroll job growth: 2.43% versus 1.01%. Average annual S&P 500 return including dividends: 15.50% versus 10.91%. Share of months in recession: 5.56% versus 20.12%. Calendar years are assigned to the party serving most of the year. Growth and return figures are arithmetic averages. Historical association does not establish causation.

Two more years of Trump unchecked is too much to risk. We need to elect people who will demand answers, hold him accountable, and defend the rule of law. Congress has the power—and the duty—to provide oversight. Let’s elect people willing to use it.
