Although Donald Trump has claimed that “every policy” of his administration was “designed to lift up the American worker,” he has acted consistently, since returning to office in January, to undermine workers’ chosen representatives, America’s labor unions.
The Cook Political Report has adjusted its ratings in two Virginia congressional races for seats held by Republicans.
Consumer electronics and toys will cost more this holiday season due to tariffs that continue to increase prices for American consumers.
Tim Kaine went on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, ostensibly, to explain, for the umpteenth time, his role in the Senate Democrat capitulation on healthcare premium tax credits.
Donald Trump has an odd personal vested interest in making sure the federal government doesn’t process SNAP benefits to the 42 million Americans who rely on them to put food on the table.
Virginia has been notified that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, will pay 65 percent of monthly benefits this week.
Have to assume that the move by the Trump administration, which is demanding that states “immediately undo” any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits, is going to put the kibosh on Glenn Youngkin’s rare effort to do the right thing.
Why don’t Republicans just follow Donald Trump’s advice, use the “nuclear option” putting the kibosh on the stupid U.S. Senate filibuster, and pass their version of the government funding bill that would reopen government?
For nearly 250 years, despite its many faults, the U.S. has stood as a beacon of democracy and hope around the world.
