This is why Republicans oppose public education. Non college-educated Americans have long supported Trump. In 2024, he won 56 percent of Americans without a college degree, up from 51 percent in 2020. msn.com/en-us/money/ca…

This is a genuinely insane thing to say, and the fact that the person saying it is the Secretary of Homeland Security should terrify anyone who understands that the United States faces *real* threats that need serious people ready to respond to them.

There were protests in like three downtown blocks of LA over the course of a few days. No one here wanted or needed troops on the streets. @KristiNoem is comically full of shit, per usual.

@FBIDDBongino Cool. Did you know going into this that your job would be posting on social media? What did Trump offer you to get you to stop talking about the Epstein files?

Catelin Drey crushed it tonight, winning by 55.2% to 44.8% in an Iowa Senate district that Trump carried by 11. Can't wait to dig into the precinct-level results. @ZacharyOS and I will talk with the Democrat tomorrow.

Anyone else notice how expensive back-to-school shopping got this year? Thanks to the Trump tariffs that all four of Iowa’s representatives voted to protect, Iowans are paying more than ever.

@CalltoActivism Ride horses, steal money, shoot puppies, Kristi Noem’s whole brand of “leadership.” No wonder Trump drools over her like she’s the Marlboro Man in drag. “Where’s my Kristi? She can ride a horse like nobody.” Yeah, and she can kill a dog like nobody too. That’s the MAGA gospel:…

At the end of my journey, I realize how fragile and malleable man is. Nothing can be taken for granted. Our duty of vigilance must be absolute. Evil can return at any time, it smolders everywhere. And we must act while there is still time to prevent the worst. —Germaine Tillion

@KenPaxtonTX If you actually care about silencing districts you wouldn’t support partisan gerrymandering DESIGNED to take away voices. This is hypocrisy at its best. It’s wrong when either party weaponizes information and policy for partisan gain, not just when the “other” party does it.
