President Trump called the woman pictured below a “loser” for being captured. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and DOGE ordered her service history to be deleted from the Department of Defense archives because she was “DEI” and “woke.”

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

What are you going to do today to achieve it?

Mexico has officially banned the Trump propaganda from airing on Mexican TV and social media. No racist ads, and no lies disguised as messages to the world.

Correction: A previous version of this article mistakenly referred to K.C. Saunders as the County Administrator. He is, in fact, the Budget Director for Lorain County. The correction applies to Part 3, paragraph 3; Part 4, paragraph 1 & 4; and Part 5, paragraph 4 of the published story.

Good morning.

DOGE is fake and not a real agency.

The only thing Republicans have to offer America is a heaping helping of ignorant vitriol with a swirl of conspiracy thinking.

And we have to clearly show the people who think politics are still the way they were that this is the case. Offering a responsible alternative and then seeing them balk at it is one way to do that. Remember, not everyone is as politically literate as the TAFM crowd.

Ummmmm, that actually says a lot. As does the word “process” that you used several times in your essay, TC. As is the lack of process being the negligent factor with people such as MT Greene and Mace and the FL congressman (I am loathe to even say his name) who put defused grenades in with his appreciative letter to his colleagues as he boasts of being assigned to the Armed Services committee. As an educator of children in public education for decades, an informed teacher knows there is not ro…

You and TC are both on a roll today. I like the idea of the Commission, we could even name it after Manchin if the idea works and call it the Manchin Memorial Commission if it doesn't. I feel old when I remember the "Repeal and Replace" campaign the GOP ran on after ACA was passed and how, when they got into position to implement it, they had nothing to go with. I'll feel better when Biden proposes the Commission, removal of the cap on OASDI tax, and legislation to provide legal residency for …

I'm aware of FICA as referring to the payroll taxes for SS, Medicare, etc. but don't recall seeing your acronym, OASDI tax, before. I see they are one and the same. And they are taxes on our earned income, withheld with the explicit promise that they will be returned to our benefit when we reach retirement age or meet the criteria for Survivors of payees into SS and for Disability for those who are medically unable to work. A huge swath of Americans fall within one or more category.

A much larger swath than the House Looney Tune Caucus seems to recognize.

What being presidential actually looks like. An articulate, intelligent person who actually belongs in the role of President of the United States.

We need more people like this. One who follows the laws and Constitution. Either side of the political isle. I honestly don’t care which.

Sadly true in Wyoming where our Representatives serve Donald Trump instead of the people they were elected to serve and the Constitution they swore to protect.
