Tim Walz (D-MN), Reid said, “The line that I wrote down from Coach Walz, I guess we’ll have to now call him, ‘Thank you for bringing back the joy.’ I think that’s part of what it is.

The Associated Press described the ad: Besides Trump’s criminal conviction, the ad, titled “Character Matters,” notes the former president also was found liable for sexual assault and financial fraud in separate proceedings. Trump also...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used the 80th anniversary of D-Day to draw a comparison between Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and former President Donald Trump, claiming that those who voted against Trump would be doing as much to “protect democracy” as the boys who stormed the Normandy beaches.Clinton appeared to have some idea that her thoughts might not be well-received, as evidenced by the fact that she shut down replies to the post on X.“Eighty years ago today, thousands of brave Americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of Normandy. This November, all we have to do is...

Donald Trump is a homophobe, sexist, and racist declared far-left Mayor of London Sadiq Khan while urging his party to do more to “call him out”.
