Trump’s threats towards Iran are completely deranged. Our so-called leader is nothing more than a sadistic maniac who will stop at nothing to get whatever he wants. 25th Amendment now.

Let’s be clear, this is voter suppression. The same ID Americans use to live their daily lives is suddenly “not enough” when it comes to voting? That’s not about security, that’s about control. ht...

Trump would rather fund a costly war than support the American people. He’s trying to pay for it by cutting programs for kids and seniors. That tells you everything about his priorities.

Good riddance. Pam Bondi abused the Justice Department to serve Trump and go after whoever he wanted. She will have to answer for what she’s done.

There is no bottom, even for Trump.   Robert Mueller did his job honorably and always told the truth. Two things Trump could never do.   Trump knows he is not innocent. https://t.co/Gy54euzHFS
