Rothkopf argued that the visible impact of Trump's immigration crackdowns " including ICE detaining people in cities "whether they did anything wrong or not" " will fuel voter backlash that the GOP can't escape. He said Democrats are poised for major gains, and if they take the House or Senate, Trump won't be able to talk his way out of accountability: impeachment proceedings could begin, cabinet officials could be targeted, his agenda would collapse, and at 80 years old, Trump's political era could effectively end.Watch the video below.

17+ min ago (565+ words) The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a lawsuit regarding the constitutionality of President Donald Trump's executive order to restrict the right to birthright citizenship. If the Supreme Court rules in Trump's favor, then children born in the US would be denied citizenship if their parents are undocumented or residing in the country under temporary legal status. Let's not mince words here: Trump's executive order is cruel and xenophobic. Children born of undocumented immigrants or visa holders have committed no crimes. They are not responsible for the circumstances of their birth. There is also no legitimate legal basis. The 14th Amendment is clear: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." None of these facts matter to Trump. His administration would…...

Mark Alford (R-Mo.) on CNN on December 9, 2025 (Image: Screengrab via CNN / YouTube) A House Republican recently tried to assert in a live interview that former President Joe Biden was more responsible for farmers' current economic plight than President Donald Trump's administration. But CNN host Brianna Keilar refused to let his remarks go unchallenged. During a Tuesday segment on CNN, Rep. Mark Alford (R-Mo.) defended the Trump administration's recent decision to allocate $12 billion in tariff revenue toward farmers whose costs have been rising due to tariffs. Keilar quoted one farmer who called the payments "a band-aid on an open wound" and who called for market-based solutions to their woes, rather than direct government assistance. "Oh, yeah. They do, and they understand as I do, that it was Joe Biden that drove up the price of…...

Reporting on MS NOW's Morning Joe, Atlantic correspondent Nancy Youssef said that while Donald Trump isn't on the brink of firing Hegseth, the fallout from disputed "double-tap" strikes, lawsuits from victims' families, and a growing stack of questions about his judgment has left his credibility in shambles.

38+ min ago (283+ words) David Corenswet and Jonathan Bailey did an Actors on Actors interview together. And a fairly reasonable observation came up and many online were mad that'Corenswet pointed out that Bailey maintained his masculinity while being held by Cynthia Erivo? Before we dive in, Corenswet was making a good point. Did he word it strangely? Sure. But when you actually think about what he is saying, it makes sense. Corenswet compared both Superman and Wicked: For Good through their kissing scenes. Both Superman (Corenswet) and Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) as well Elphaba (Erivo) and Fiyero (Bailey) have kisses while they're levitating. Many online are taking Corenswet's comments negatively and I just don't think that's the case. And it doesn't seem like Bailey was that pressed by it either as he dismissed it being "hard." This is, unfortunately, an issue that happens online…...

Keilar didn't hold back in response. Alford attempted to…...
