Major press failure: treating Jared Kushner taking foreign bribes and shaping US foreign policy as less relevant than Hunter Biden not taking bribes nor influencing policy. Covering Kushner accurately was considered partisan, biased. Lies about Hunter or his minor actions treated as more important.

Ralphs Food for Less Mariano’s Smith’s Harris Teeter Kroger ALREADY owns all these grocery stores. Now, Kroger wants to buy Giant Eagle too. Less competition could mean higher grocery costs for YOU. Donald Trump shouldn't just rubber-stamp this merger.

This was like his 3rd glitch during the speech where he just randomly stops mid-sentence and makes a weird noise or, in this case, just opens his mouth and freezes for 3 seconds while saying nothing, then continues. Pretty sad that TV networks refuse to cover this situation.

Elon Musk has given Greg Abbott $500K in campaign cash. Musk's companies have received $1.6 billion in tax incentives and $30 million in grants funded by Texas taxpayers. Texans deserve to know what else he's gotten in return.

We have gone from “DOJ tries hard not to influence election outcomes” to “DOJ will definitely try to influence election outcomes if the candidate of the President’s choosing doesn’t win.” A very dangerous place to be.

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle, and that's how he came to be injured. Now an independent police investigation drawing on videotaped footage of the incident clearly establishes that every word of the ICE account is a lie and Moreida was the victim of vehicular assault.

BREAKING: The Trump DOJ just sent letters to local election officials across California — every county in the state — demanding they identify potential noncitizens on their voter rolls and set aside their ballots. Local officials would "risk significant federal scrutiny" if they failed to comply.

The Trump Administration is preparing to attack any election result that doesn’t go their way. If Donald Trump thinks that he will overturn the will of the people with a conspiracy-fueled attempt to void the election, he should be ready to once again lose in courtrooms across the country.

Trump, on a podcast in February: “The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.” He even named a number: “at least many, 15 places.” Your state runs your election. Keep it that way.
