Three things in life are guaranteed -- death, taxes, and a MAGA supporter thinking they're clever by saying "TDS" to anything that challenges their point of view.

Congressional Stock Trading Ban Backed by Trump Is Full of Loopholes The bill would only affect Congress, and wouldn’t ban stock trading by members of the executive branch.

The bill allows "straw" purchasing of stocks, and lets members of Congress keep stocks they already owned while serving out their terms.

Trump backers are mad that we're mad. Tough cookies...if you're not mad about the current president, why aren't you? What's that say about your values?

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense β€” if we still had a Congress.

The president was asked in a recent interview if Americans should be worried about attacks in the U.S. because of this war. "I guess," Trump responded. "Some people will die."

Trump Demands Final Say in Selecting Iran’s Future Leader Trump administration officials have previously denied that regime change was a goal of their war on Iran.

Trump has insisted that he should be involved in selecting the next leader of Iran, dismissing the idea that Iranians should have final say over their country’s leadership. Trump’s desire to handpick Iran’s new leader contradicts his statements about pursuing β€œfreedom” for Iranians.

Honestly, the payoff here is when he imitates what he assumes people are reading when they read. He assumes it is about pirates.

The Trump White House saves a MAGA adviser via private jet, but won’t save regular Americans stranded in the Middle East.

I've got the latest on this outrageous maneuver to help a Trump consultant while the State Department scrambles to figure out a plan for others.

β€œLow-Wage 20” Report Calls Out Companies Paying Worker Below Medicaid, SNAP Thresholds None of the 20 companies provided median pay that allowed workers to afford a two-bedroom rental.

The report by the Institute for Policy Studies (@ips-dc.org) highlights how these companies engage in "corporate welfare" practices, shifting responsibility for their workers' medical care and affordability concerns onto U.S. taxpayers.

The narrative will change. "This war demands sacrifices from All American Patriots!" Higher oil prices will now become a sign of loyalty. Don't like them? Then you hate this country.

We have always been at war with Eastasia.
