Today marks Donald Trump's 100th day in office, and the damage that he's managed to cause in those 100 days is almost unimaginable. On every issue that matters to voters - from immigration to the economy to the environment - Trump is getting failing grades from the public as he and his wrecking ball crew destroy everything. And the administration is only getting started. The damage is going to increase in the weeks and mo...

A very panicked Donald Trump tried to con American workers into supporting his tariffs by telling them a string of lies over the weekend. Trump got on Truth Social and claimed that the tariffs could possibly eliminate ALL income taxes on people making under $200,000 a year, something that's not even remotely possible. Trump's tariffs are barely pulling in more money than we were getting BEFORE the tariffs, nowhere near en...

Donald Trump hasn't even been in office for 100 days yet, and already the polling data proves that Americans hate every single thing that he is doing. From immigration to the environment, respecting the rule of law to the economy, Trump is underwater on every issue that actually matters to American voters. His overall approval rating is somehow even worse than at this point in his first administration, too.

Marjorie Taylor Greene held a town hall this week that only took minutes to go completely off the rails. She ordered the numerous police officers present to forcibly remove protestors, stopping throughout her lies to tell officers who to grab. At one point, according to reports, one of the people being forcibly removed was even tased by police officers.

During a back and forth with reporters for his meeting with the president of El Salvador, Donald Trump proved what a low class piece of trash he really is. He did this not only by slandering the man that he wrongfully deported, but also when he viciously attacked CNN reporter Kaitlin Collins. The man has no class at all, yet he likes to pretend that he does by surrounding himself with gold, which was also on display during the meet...

Donald Trump's physical results have left many people scratching their heads, as the doctor said that he is in perfect health in every possible way. But when you actually look at the report, it becomes obvious that Trump is a man that is on borrowed time, as the medications that he's taking are likely preventing a massive health event that could be his last.

The US bond market began to crash this week in response to Donald Trump's tariffs, which is likely the reason that he decided to pause most of them for now. But the collapsing bond market also means something else - it means that Marjorie Taylor Greene's stock selloff and bond buying ended up backfiring on her. She moved her money out of the stock market just days before Trump crashed it (a quasi, though legal, insider tr...

Billionaires across the country are starting to express buyer's remorse for putting Donald Trump back in power. These billionaires are now watching as their fortunes disappear thanks to Trump's backwards trade policies, and they are now speaking out about how horrible this has been for them. But they can't feign ignorance on this one - Trump made it clear that this was exactly what he was going to do during the campa...

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt decided that her best course of action was to mock a judge's ruling last week that instructed the Trump administration to immediately retrieve the innocent man that they sent to the prison in El Salvador. Leavitt claimed that the judge didn't have jurisdiction over El Salvador, which was not only rude but incredibly ignorant. In response, the judge issued a scathing ruling over...

According to new reports this week, Donald Trump is preparing to cut Elon Musk loose a lot sooner than expected. Politico says that Trump has been informing his Cabinet members that Musk will not be around much longer, and the speculation is that it is because he has become incredibly toxic to the Republican Party. But Musk's toxicity isn't Trump's main problem, and he'll soon find out that HE is the on driving ...

Elon Musk got utterly humiliated this week when he failed to buy the seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. But even before that defeat, many Republicans were already hoping to LOSE because they want Musk to go away for good. They might be able to get their wish now that Musk has proven to be more of a liability than an asset at this point.

Donald Trump is trying to convince the country that the economy is doing better than ever, but it doesn't look like anyone is buying that. At the same time that Trump was telling us that everything was fine, the stock market was crashing and banks were warning that a recession could be right around the corner.

Republicans in Alabama are starting to panic over several different Trump policies that are going to devastate their state. From education to farming to automobile manufacturing are all slated to take massive hits from Trump's policies, and Republicans in the Deep South are actually starting to speak out about how bad their state is about to get hit.

A self-proclaimed "MAGA Junkie" admitted during a tearful interview that she now regrets voting for Donald Trump after her job at the US Treasury was terminated by Elon Musk and his DOGE force. The former Trump supporter admits that she was all-in on Trump, with flags, shirts, and other MAGA gear all over the place, but now she realizes that she messed up. These people might be reachable after all, as Farron explains.

Republican Congressman Don Bacon is not happy about the economic chaos that Donald Trump is causing, and he admitted during a CNN interview that he would like to take away Trump's power to enact tariffs. He specifically said that allowing Trump to do this at all was a "mistake." Those are strong words for a sitting Republican member of Congress, and Trump probably isn't going to be happy to hear that.

The news this week that top Trump cabinet officials accidentally added a reporter from The Atlantic to a Signal group text about secret war plans is the definitive proof that this administration is packed with the dumbest people in America. But in addition to being grossly incompetent, they are also clearly corrupt, as evidenced by their secret chat on unofficial platforms about top secret intelligence. This move could have easily ...

Donald Trump had a complete meltdown over the most mundane issue imaginable over the weekend, when he got on Truth Social and whined like a baby about an official painting of him hanging in the Capitol Building in the state of Colorado. Trump complained that the artist made him look "distorted," but all the artist did was take away his giant wrinkles and sagging skin to make him look a little bit younger and healthier.

A former Republican Congressman blasted Karoline Leavitt after her latest embarrassing gaffe during a press briefing this week where she falsely claimed that the judge that ruled against Trump over the weekend - James Boasberg - was a "Radical Left" Obama-appointee. David Jolly said that critical thinking has clearly died in this country, and that Leavitt is certainly proof of that. But it wasn't just because she got...

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts spoke out against Donald Trump's call to impeach Judge James Boasberg this week, saying that the judiciary has independence and that disagreements with rulings are what the appellate process is for, not impeachment. This very mild statement didn't sit well with MAGA world, and they are now going as far as to call Roberts, a Republican appointee, a "deep state asset" and c...

During a press briefing this week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the administration is encouraging immigrants to "self deport" so that they don't end up in anymore "fun" videos like the ones the administration put out over the weekend showing immigrants being forcibly detained and restrained. She then proceeded to laugh at her own joke, which was really her laughing at human sufferi...
