This is unbelievably depraved — even for Trump

Trump dishonored and disparaged the men and women who earned the Medal of Honor, often at the cost of their own lives. The quote here: Late last night, a video released from a Trump campaign event that was unbelievably depraved — even for Trump. We know Trump’s comments on the fallen well. “S…

What’s a “Real Job,” according to Trump and his team?

Donald Trump and his campaign just attacked Tim Walz again, accusing him of never holding down a “Real Job” in his entire life. These are not “Real Jobs” according to Trump’s official campaign spokesperson: JOHN — Donald Trump and his campaign just attacked Tim Walz again, accusing him of neve…

You’ve been selected: Tell Tim Walz you have his back.

Tim Walz is among the best of us though, and he’s made of tough stuff. But we know he’d appreciate a reminder that folks like you still have his back. JOHN — Unable to formulate any message or agenda other than Project 2025, Trump, Vance, and the MAGA-right are digging deeper into these deprav…

VoteVets is calling BS on JD Vance

Tim Walz, the next Vice President of the United States
