" The future is more yours than it is mine, how would you like me to vote?" I asked my son. I'm independent. He is a staunch Republican. He gave me a one word answer - Blue! #vote

The objective of Republicans has always been trolling liberals, not achieving any helpful goals. The simpleton Ronald Reagan is a good example. He blathered on about how much he was in favor of smaller government. Well, guess what? The federal government was *larger* when he left office.

Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.

Our service members are paying the heaviest price for Trump’s new Middle East war. The very least he can do as Commander-in-Chief is support them, not insult them.

The people who falsely accused an Olympian of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool are the same people telling you to trust them about the war with Iran

Will the Sunday shows do anything about the people who lied to their faces about this? Doug Burgum got indignant when Dana Bash doubted the 350-foot-long knifing story. Will CNN hold him accountable or just invite him back like nothing happened?

FLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"

When I start to worry about Trump stealing the midterms, I just remind myself that he’s losing a fight with the Reflecting Pool at the moment.

VANCE YESTERDAY FOX: Do you have any immediate plans to join Jared and Steve? VANCE: It's always a delicate coordination dance with the diplomatic protocols. I've gotta be honest with you, I don't really understand these things.

When President Obama was running for office in 2008, his call to service inspired me to work at the VA to help veterans. I often ask Trump supporters what he’s done to inspire them to be better, and I can’t ever get an answer.

Trump has never made anyone a better person; he has only given bad people permission to show how bad they are.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

I think it’s worth asking again — and seriously — what exactly do we have a 25th Amendment for if not for this?

Everything goes in cycles in American politics, and when this MAGA cycle ends soon we must not forget the CEOs, law firms, and media elites who bent the knee to Trump and sold out America for money, power, and access.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Hurricane Helene hit western NC more than a year ago, and the federal government has covered only around 10 percent of the storm’s damage. NC needs a FEMA director who will partner to help WNC recover.

Breaking news: David Richardson resigned as acting head of FEMA. Richardson was known for frequently being inaccessible, including during the early hours of the flood disaster in Texas over the Fourth of July weekend.

Both parties should support this. Using AI to generate a video of a candidate saying something he didn’t say should be illegal. Especially since many voters think it is real. I will condemn any candidate from either party who does this.

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

Wouldn’t it be great if we had a functioning Republican Party that had a few people in it who were willing to occasionally stand up and call out the worst abuses of power and corruption of their leader? Instead, the Republican Party operates like an organized crime family.
