The 'Musk Steals' protest was a legitimate expression of concern about Elon Musk's business practices. Democrats have a right to question his power and influence.

Trump's threat to cut funding for protesting schools is an attack on free speech and academic freedom. This is a dangerous precedent that could silence dissent and discourage critical thinking.

Rep. Al Green's attempt to impeach Trump is a waste of time and energy. It's unlikely to succeed and will only further divide the country.

Cutting the IRS workforce by half is a recipe for disaster. It will lead to longer wait times, more errors, and a decline in tax revenue.

Doug Ford is standing up for the interests of Ontario. US companies have been unfairly dominating the government contracting market.
