There's one thing you can trust Trump to do: Lie

There are two things you can count on the Trump administration to do. They're going to lie and they're going to double down on that lie.

Rep. Nydia Velázquez, D-N.Y., holds a protest sign with fellow Democratic congressional members as President Donald Trump addresses a joint session of Congress at the U.S. Capitol on March 4, 2025.

Trump is killing DEI at universities. I'm cheering him on.

President Donald Trump has put schools on notice through executive actions that he expects them to quash both DEI and antisemitism.

Palestinians chanting anti-Hamas slogans protest in the northern Gaza Strip on March 26, 2025, to demand an end to war.
