Lay aside the morality and ethics of the death penalty for the time being and think about what the constitution says about cruel and unusual punishment.

The president who called American soldiers that died in war “suckers” and “losers,” is now hiding the number of service members killed & injured in his war of choice. Absolutely disgraceful.

More U.S. troops have died amid Iran war than Pentagon has disclosed publicly
Officials who spoke with The Post expressed frustration that the additional loss of life in the Middle East is not reflected in the Defense Department’s casualty database.

Diesel keeps Maryland’s businesses running. A year ago, it was $3.70 a gallon. Today, it’s a record $6.49. Farmers and small businesses feel that increase first, and then it ripples through our entire economy. This Admin's war with Iran continues to hurt everyday Americans.

Rev. Earle Fisher, a columnist for @tennesseelookout.com writes that media outlets should hold debates and forums even when one candidate refuses to participate. I agree.

Nowhere is Trump's lie that he would focus only on the 'worst of the worst' clearer than his assault on TPS. TPS holders are here legally, they’re vetted, & they contribute to our communities. America is a nation of immigrants. Trump's attacks on them are cruel & un-American.

So what if Trump “bans” CNN, MSNOW & POLITICO from the WH? Hearing him lie in person is the least important part of their jobs although they treat it as the most important. No journalism ever happens there. Reporting Watergate, I don’t think Woodward & Bernstein ever stepped foot in the White House.

For nearly 40 hours, residents in Frederick watched an ICE operation unfold in their neighborhood — one that turned violent and included attempts to intimidate those who spoke up. Marylanders care about their neighbors. There is no place for ICE's cruelty in our communities.

The President of the United States is throwing a temper tantrum because he couldn't put his name on yet another building.   Trump can complain & threaten all he wants; it won't change the fact that the Kennedy Center belongs to the American people & is not his to remake.

Trump says Kennedy Center is closed hours after a judge ruled he can’t put his name on it

It's simple. Big Oil & Big Coal give millions to help get Trump elected. He lets them pollute more. You get dirtier air, extreme heat, flooding, & droughts.   Trump's trading away your health & safety to pad his donors' pockets.   Polluters win, Trump wins, you lose.
