Republicans may be breaking with Trump for now to get votes but they will be right back to supporting him if they win. They could have stood up for their constituents long before now. Vote them out.

Susan Collins was at the center of a major bribery probe for steering millions in contracts to a company whose CEO illegally funneled thousands to her campaign. Then Trump took office and gutted the FBI and DOJ units investigating her. Is this what "being moderate" looks like?

This isn't about ageism; it's about the need for systemic renewal. We have politicians holding onto office indefinitely when it's clearly time for a new generation of leadership. We desperately need term limits and a mandatory retirement age.

I did my best to stay away from commenting on Natalie Harp because I’m sick of the way everyone covers women in politics, but this WH press ban is coming after she showed Trump coverage clips. She deserves every ounce of ridicule she gets and we all know it won’t end well for her

The so-called Protect College Sports Act is 100% trash and MUST be defeated. So a cap on what players can make but no cap on what coaches can make? HELL NO! Call your US Senator at 202) 224-3121 and tell them to VOTE NO!!!

The Army awarded an artillery shell project to General Dynamics in a rushed process without the typical vetting. The result: a fiasco in a Texas factory with robots in flames and half a billion dollars in taxpayer funds that yielded no usable shells.

ProPublica revealed how a rushed effort to arm Ukraine with artillery shells wasted half a billion dollars in taxpayer funding. Here are the biggest takeaways from that reporting.

Trump's panicking about the widespread revulsion against his Arch, and is trying to cloak it in national security to jam it through or go around the normal approval process. It's even more important to stop it now, as a test case of not letting him use "national security" to justify illegal acts.

This is how you handle the media that tries to spin a tragedy into a false narrative. The mayor of Baltimore has my respect for the work he's doing and shutting this shit down emphatically. Brandon Scott: Keep this shit up. You're doing a fine job, no matter what these douchenozzles say.

Good morning. Donald Trump, when asked about banning certain news outlets from the White House,remarks that he has the right to remove people he doesn't like from his house. Actually it's the People's house. Trump is merely an unwelcome tenant.

So now we learn that Trump wants to turn the proposed Washington triumphal arch into a “top grade Military Complex,” with drone storage, snipers on the roof/plaza areas, and sniper-ammunition storage. TRUMP IS INSANE. THE ARCH MUST BE STOPPED.
