President s most shared, retweeted posts ever sadly. Some of the president s fans laughed at the clip. Members of the media, some of whom have faced threats for their reporting, took it very seriously.

Official reaction from washington and beyond has been mostly one sided against the president. In part because its been radio silence from most republicans. Just before trump posted this tweet, nebraska senator ben sass said on sunday that hes been troubled by the president s recent attacks on the news media. Theres an important distinction to dr

Strength at the border. This is coming as a fast announcement this week. The president is saying the laws are not Strong Enough and congress has not acted. The question why this is urgent came up on wednesday when i asked the Homeland Security secretary why now. Why is this an urgent matter . April is a time when we see more folks cross the border without legal right to do so. We are seeing more advertising by the traffickers and smugglers to our south. Specifically how to get around the system and stay. Why today and not yesterday or tomorrow . Today is the day. Today is the day we start the process. The threat is real.
