$2000. That's how much your household has already spent this year on Trump's Middle East War. Congressional Republicans won’t lift a finger. It’s time to vote them out.

Sen. Angus King says he sat down and made a list of everything Putin could possibly want from an American president. His conclusion about Trump? “This guy, this president, is doing almost all of them.” King then goes through the list. WATCH.

Federal agents swarmed a protest encampment today, arresting a dozen people and allowing contractors to remove a live protester from, then cut down, an ancient, giant cottonwood "Grandmother Tree" to make way for border wall construction. Protesters had been at the site near Lochiel, AZ for 71 days.
