Trump’s given up. We haven’t.

Trump said he’d solve this. Trump promised a peace deal on “Day One” of his presidency. Instead, he’s completely and utterly failed. His incompetence and that of his administration has only further emboldened our adversaries. JOHN: Take a look at this, from earlier today. The first part is n…

Trump’s attack on the Constitution

On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to be his supporters “retribution.” He threatened to “root out the vermin.” After becoming president, he weaponized the Department of Justice and signed executive orders directing them to pursue critics and political opponents. JOHN: A legal resident of the Un…

Veterans are getting pummeled right now
