You were outraged for Hiroshima, the Twin Towers, the Bataclan. But for Gaza...silence or indifference? This is what the Israeli army have done, and still there are those who deny its a genocide or think in some kind of warped way justified. Beyond words.

We know these tariffs are hurting families and businesses. SCOTUS agreed with our case that sweeping tariffs are illegal. Why is the federal government so determined to impose taxes that we didn’t vote for?

Russ Vought has unlawfully and vindictively cut federal funds from states that didn’t vote for Trump in the last presidential election. I’m not angry because he’s taking Congress’s power away - it’s because he’s taking power away from the American people.
