Next thing, Trump will show up for the awards and claim them before any actual athletes do. As usual, his own personal appearance will ensure he’s sent home, empty-handed, maybe on the Qatarship.

Finally, today the Senate approved a war powers resolution to block U.S. military action against Iran! Trump’s efforts to resolve the conflict that he started on his own failed miserably and now he needs Congress to fund his idiotic war! The Senate finally found its spine!

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

Americans should hang their heads in utter humiliation for having elected this cretinous scumbag. No voters— at any time, in any nation, at any point in history— have chosen more poorly. America has precisely the president they deserve— and insisted upon.

Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in these talks. It is a fundamental corruption.

A federal immigration detention center in Texas erected by the Trump administration failed to issue use-of-force reports, did not give ​medicine to seriously ill detainees and wasted tens of millions in taxpayer dollars ‌through rushed contracts, a U.S. government watchdog report published on Tuesday said.
