This year was filled with cowardly behavior from GOP lawmakers, who rolled over at every turn to let President Donald Trump neuter them of their power, trample on the Constitution, and destroy the economy and job market with his idiotic tariffs and evil deportation policies . And their subservience to Trump didn’t do anything to help their own political fates, as Trump’s approval rating sinks to …

The hell with 2025. Donald Trump came roaring back into office and immediately unleashed the political equivalent of shock and awe— testing institutions , normalizing cruelty , and doing real damage faster than anyone should be comfortable with.

President Donald Trump did not win a second term because JD Vance was on the ticket. In virtually every poll imaginable, Vance continues to be received by Americans about as warmly as a peeled banana left out in the sun for three days.

Ah, the holiday season: a time to gather with friends and family and reminisce about the past year. And what could be better, when gathered with your nearest and dearest, than fondly recalling the many, many times that juries told the Trump administration to pound sand. In any other administration, we would not all be so acutely aware of the actions of grand juries, in large part because federal …
