While it’s true that the Department of Homeland Security received billions of dollars from Republicans as part of their bill to cut taxes on the wealthy, that money is spread out through 2029. DHS didn’t get all the funds at once. The money intended for ICE was also earmarked for specific tasks, so it cannot be used for general expenses.From an administrative perspective, this means that ICE still needs to be funded for next year. The need for funding presents an opportunity for Democrats as DHS funding runs out in less than two weeks. PoliticusUSA news and opinions are 100%…

Trump is still obsessed with Greenland. The president’s latest ploy is to threaten Europe with additional tariffs until it sells Greenland to the United States. The problem is that Denmark will never sell Greenland to the United States, and it already offers the United States everything it could want in Greenland.PoliticusUSA is not beholden to any political party or special interest.

In the video above, I explain how Trump is the opposite of what the founders thought a president would be, and how his stupidity is the cause of the failure of his presidency and the entire Republican Party. Please give him a watch to complement this item.For those who observed Trump’s first term, it was clear that his second term was destined fail before it starts. Successful presidencies are often built before the president-elect even takes office, during the presidential transition through staff recruitment.

Virginia Senate Democrats passed a resolution on Friday that will allow Virginia voters to vote on a redistricting map in the 2026 midterm elections. Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell said events outside Virginia left Democrats with no choice:What you have before you today is a constitutional amendment that none of us wanted to introduce, but circumstances beyond our borders made it necessary.…We worked hard. We have worked diligently to establish a fair, bipartisan redistricting process, but we are not operating in a vacuum today.The majority said Democrats would not unilaterally disarm, as Republicans attempt to gerrymander and steal House seats…
Trump continues to try to give himself imaginary awards and put his name on every building. Trump is destroying the White House and is madly obsessed with leaving a legacy behind for good reason. Donald Trump is failing as president, and not just in our partisan, polarized way of defining failure in politics. Trump has sunk to a particular level of overall failure that is leading a large majority of the country to admit it and, more importantly, to tell Trump and his party that they see his failure.In the latest CNN poll, 58% of respondents said the first year…
When Joe Biden was president, Jim Jordan (R-OH) chaired a House subcommittee on Biden’s “militarization of government.”Rep. Jordan appears to have lost his concerns about the militarization of government after Trump returned to the White House, so Democrats on the Judiciary Committee sent him a letter to help him find it.PoliticusUSA news and opinions are 100% independent.

In the video above, I explain what the Insurrection Act is. Why it’s not martial law and the limits of Trump’s threat to Minnesota. I would appreciate it if you gave him a watch.Donald Trump is trying to scare America. The president is trying to make an example of the people of Minnesota. He wants to silence dissent and make everyone in America complicit and complacent in his lawlessness. PoliticusUSA is not beholden to any political party or special interest. We are 100% independent.

After the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minnesota, the Trump administration tried to claim that members of the Trump administration and ICE agents had what it called “absolute immunity.” Absolute immunity does not exist, even for Donald Trump. The Supreme Court has granted immunity to presidents for official acts performed while in office, but no one else in Trump’s administration or working for a department or agency of his administration has any immunity.PoliticusUSA news and opinions are 100% independent.

Aside from Attorney General Pam Bondi, whom Trump is considering replacing likely because she has failed to effectively imprison his political enemies with false accusations and prosecutions, no member of the Trump administration is more at risk of losing their job than DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Noem has no experience in homeland security and was never qualified to be DHS secretary. Noem was nominated for this position by Trump because she is a total Trump loyalist. She can be counted on to do whatever Trump wants, and that’s the most important qualification for any job.The killing of Renee Good by…
Donald Trump’s mind has been wandering for a long time now. It’s gotten to the point where his White House handlers don’t let him out much and mostly keep him sitting in the White House while the administration’s sycophantic press asks questions and lets the president ramble.The American people don’t see Trump in the wild very often, because when he is released into a room in front of a crowd, the results are often not pretty. These events show the American people declining state of Trump’s cognitive abilities. PoliticusUSA news and opinions are 100% independent. Support us by becoming a…
