In America, no one is above the law. In our system of government, Congress makes the laws, the Executive Branch executes the laws and the Judicial branch, when there is a dispute, says what the law is. But, does the Trump Admin believe this? Asked Secretary Rubio his thoughts.

Will the illegal gift from Qatar to Trump of the 15 year old, used foreign plane have: 1. A taxpayer funded makeup studio / glam countertop like the one Pete Hegseth installed at the Pentagon and 2. WiFi to conduct unauthorized Signal chats? Asking on behalf of many people.

How do we know the Republican tax scam is a big, ugly bill? Because they are trying to jam through massive healthcare cuts in the middle of the night. Midnight economics.

The Biden Administration and Europe never made the decision to win. The Trump Administration is making the same mistake. I have said this repeatedly: the only way to get Putin to the negotiating table is to give Ukraine the weapons and support it needs to defeat Russian forces.

Overnight, House Republicans passed a bill to cut health care and food assistance in order to give tax cuts to billionaires. Every House Democrat voted no on this attack on everyday Americans.

30-year mortgage rates jump to 7.5%, one of the highest levels in the last two decades. Trump and Republicans reckless economic policies—as exemplified in their big, ugly bill that explodes the deficit—caused yields and rates to increase.

Yet another flip-flop to the multiple tariff flop-flops from Trump. Indiscriminate tariffs on Europe and Apple will never create an army of millions and millions of Americans screwing in little screws. It will just make iPhones and other goods more expensive for Americans.

What do you get when you add deficit exploding tax cuts for billionaires to wide-ranging & indiscriminate tariffs?   An economy that doesn’t work for everyday Americans.

Today, we honor those who sacrificed everything in service to America. We are forever indebted to our fallen heroes and their loves ones.   Their courage and dedication must never be forgotten.

Another day, another scandal under Hegseth. This is not silly stuff like Hegseth using taxpayer funds for a Pentagon makeup studio. The allegation here is an illegal wiretap. If they used an illegal wiretap on a senior official, you think they wouldn’t hesitate to use it on you?

When mother nature strikes, she doesn’t ask for your political affiliation first.   Californians deserve disaster aid, just like any other state would.

GOP Senator Joni Ernst is correct that we all are going to die. But it shouldn’t be as a result of Republicans’ big, ugly bill.
