Mike Johnson dedicated his presidency to killing the Affordable Care Act. In 2025, he passed a law that massively cut taxes on the rich and financed it in part by gutting U.S. health care. Johnson’s legislation excluded 4 million Americans from Medicaid and ended the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced subsidies, which raised health insurance premiums for more than 20 million Americans.PoliticusUSA is true, independent news and opinion that bends its knees to no one.

There is a common, recurring pattern after nearly a year of the second Trump administration. When there’s bad news that Donald Trump doesn’t want to be associated with, he sends his vice president, JD Vance, to deal with the media and take the hit for the administration.Vance seems completely clueless and blind to the fact that Trump is setting him up. After an ICE agent killed Renee Good in Minneapolis while she was observing one of their immigration actions, Vance was deployed by Trump to try to clean up the mess.

Whether at home or abroad, Donald Trump and his administration continue to take actions that are unpopular with the American people and extremely damaging to the Republican Party’s chances of success in the 2026 midterm elections. The shooting and murder of a woman in Minnesota who was lawfully observing ICE’s actions in Minneapolis has sent shockwaves across the country.

College life was once idealized as a place where students would not only develop their intellectual knowledge and receive an education that would hopefully lead to a good job, but also a place where people learned to think, question their ideas, and expand their minds. Those who oppose democracy are the enemies of independent critical thought. Authoritarians want respect, not challenges.For critical thinkers to challenge their government, they need the right to free speech under the First Amendment. Trump has attacked the First Amendment on college campuses since returning to office. PoliticusUSA news and opinions are 100% independent. Support our…
Here at PoliticusUSA, we’ve discussed the possibility that House Republicans could lose their majority before the midterm elections due to resignations, retirements, unexpected members falling ill or dying. Democrats will gain two seats in the House. The first will be elected in a special election in a district in Houston, Texas, in late January. The second seat is current Governor Sherrill’s former New Jersey seat and will be filled in a special election in April. Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s remaining term will not be filled until Georgia’s March 10 special election. PoliticusUSA is not beholden to any political party…
While ranting and raving about House Republicans at the now-empty Kennedy Center For over an hour, Trump said: “I’m not going to say cancel the election, they should cancel the election because the fake news will say ‘he wants the election overturned. He’s a dictator.'” People always call me a dictator.Trump says these things because it sparks a rise in the left, and it scares them because some people will think, because there’s always a clickbait website that will run with Trump’s threat to generate fear and clicks, that he might actually overturn the election. Spoiler alert: Elections are organized…
Since the Kennedy Center is now nearly empty thanks to the current president, Donald Trump held the House Republican retreat in front of the desecrated living monument to former President John F. Kennedy, and during his remarks, even Trump, in a moment of lucidity, discovered that he was rambling incoherently or what he calls “weaving” attempted to rally the Republican troops as they head toward what looks like an election massacre midterm of the House.Trump rambled for hours while House Republicans remained silent.

Donald Trump is by far the meanest president in American history. He never forgets any slights, even if most of them are imaginary, and he is determined to take revenge on those he considers political enemies. We have seen this behavior frequently in the United States, where Trump will continue to mock and criticize people like John McCain, whose unforgivable sin in Trump’s eyes was voting against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, even after their deaths.

Trump’s obsession with Greenland has been a source of global mockery. It didn’t help the force-obsessed president that the Greenland’s small population has constantly humiliated the president and his vice president through demonstrations of protest and rejection of Trump’s plan to take back their home.Katie Miller, Stephen Miller’s wife, posted this image on X:Given this administration’s failure at everything it has attempted, Miller’s post could be seen as an example of the current administration’s collective delusions.
