The DOJ threatens CA counties with "significant fed scrutiny" if they fail to identify non-citizen voters (something rarely even occuring). Feds have no role in these elections. I hope the CA counties tell DOJ to f**k itself right off. Lord, please let cholesterol end the chaos and madness. Soon.

How far she has fallen since she became entangled in the tRump family "business." This certainly must be the end of the line for her. Gavin must feel like he dodged a bullet somehow.

Since Putin has refused a ceasefire announced by tRump, is it fair to now expect that tRump will state that Russia needs a new leader like he did with Zelenskyy? If he doesn't, then he is obviously a Putin/Russian tool.

Right now, it seems like the omission of a vote of no confidence is a glaring defect in our system of government. Why should we be forced to wait out the end of the term when we have gone so far and so quickly off course?

Does it feel like they are intentionally trying to destroy our quality of life? Trying to sell off parts of our National Parks and eliminating protections of endangered species? Recommending against vaccines that have protected us for decades? All of this because of the cost of eggs.

So Trump is promising all adult citizens $5,000 if Republicans win the next election. Where's he going to find 1 trillion, 349 billion dollars? There are people in this country dumb enough to believe this is going to happen, and this is why we can't have nice things.

Dear Canada: There is only one solitary person in America who wants a trade war with you, our neighbor and best friend since the beginning of time. Please don't hold this against us as it too will pass in a couple of years. Carney is the kind of leader America needs right now, not what we have.

It is emblematic of this nation that we are living in at the moment that Darline Graham, sister of the late Lindsey Graham, has won her primary election, notwithstanding that she has absolutely no qualifications to serve as a senator other than her family relationship to Lindsey.

It has been almost 6.5 months since Nancy Guthrie was abducted in the middle of the night and she still hasn't been found or a perp arrested. How can this be? Tucson is a pretty good-sized city (550,000 inh.) so not really a backwater area. Is Sheriff Chris Nanos inept? Find her!

Monica Lewinsky is 53 and is tired of the Clinton jokes. Sorry. I am fresh out of sympathy. She wanted the attention at the time. This is the price that has to be paid for that decision. She might have considered this consequence before she started sharing her story with others.

Trump thinks of himself as a master negotiator. He was going to end the RUS-UKR war his first day in office and has touted having achieved peace with Iran, both of which have failed miserably. He is just a bully and not a negotiator. We desperately need diplomatic negotiations with Iran right now.

To be clear, Moscow Mitch McConnell is one of the most evil corrupt immoral soulless beings in world history and the current fascist MAGA takeover of the United States is in large part because of him, so regardless of his health issues, that is how I’ll always remember him.

Trump thinks that he is a hero for calling FIFA Prez about Balogun's red card suspension. Honestly, as an American, I HATE that the president of my country meddled in an international sporting event that my country is competing for. We are now hated by all sports fans.

It is a travesty that he has destroyed a moment in our nation's history that all Americans could, and should, have been proud of.

There’s a reason nobody is at the 50 state fair in DC, and a reason it’s worth pointing out. Trump took over America 250, a bipartisan org that’s been around a few years planning these events, and turned this into a celebration of himself. I mean, in an opening speech they said “libtards”

The irony is not lost on me that, as we celebrate America's 250 years of continuous democracy, our nation is currently being led by the most undemocratic chief executive in our nation's history.

Oral Resisters People are filling the streets Cheering Trump’s name being pried off The Kennedy Center in Washington DC! #kennedycenter #TrumpKennedyCenter #USDemocracy

Texans, do what you know is right. Don't support a known criminal who seeks this prestigious governmental position. Drain the swamp, not deepen it.

Kudos to Martina McBride for standing up and being heard on the right-wing 250th celebration. We need more high-profile people shining a light on the autocratic conduct of this Administration.
