Will JD Vance get the Kamala Harris treatment for his tie-breaking vote for ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’?

President Donald Trump‘s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which extends $3.8 trillion tax cuts and slashes more than $1 trillion in Medicaid and SNAP benefits, would’ve died on a legislative vine had JD Vance, his vice president, not cast his tie-breaking 51-50 U.S. Senate vote. While Trump and his party are currently praising Vance’s role in advancing the unpopular and potentially controversial bill, Democrats hope to use Vance’s consequential vote against him should he decide to run for president, as he […]

Senate passes Trump’s big tax breaks and spending cuts bill as Vance breaks 50-50 tie

Senate Republicans hauled President Donald Trump’s big tax breaks and spending cuts bill to passage Tuesday on the narrowest of margins, pushing past opposition from Democrats and their own GOP ranks after a turbulent overnight session. The outcome capped an unusually tense weekend of work at the Capitol, the president’s signature legislative priority teetering on the edge of approval or collapse. In the end that tally was 50-50, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote. Three Republican senators — Thom Tillis of […]

JD Vance vs. Tim Walz is the new Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar

As a lover of old-school hip-hop, I love a good debate. Back in the days when rappers had more backup dancers than guns (shout out to Scoob and Scrap Lover), radio stations, television outlets and nightclubs often hosted public debates.  While there was very little fact-checking, it was up to the individual voter to decide which candidate was better at rapping. Whether it was the Juice Crew vs. BDP, Lyte vs. Latifah or Silkk the Shocker vs the beat, these […]

For Vance at VP debate, facts about Haitians and Black votes don’t matter

Though the vice presidential debate between the Democratic nominee, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and Republican nominee, U.S. Sen. JD Vance, was uncharacteristically cordial, and many felt Vance outperformed Walz, critics aren’t mincing their words about Vance’s inability to tell the truth.  “JD Vance is OK pushing a lie that he knows is a lie, perpetuating it on a national stage before millions of people,” Democratic strategist Ameshia Cross told theGrio. “It doesn’t matter to him who it harms.” During the […]

Conspiracy about Haitians sparks criminal complaint against Trump and Vance, racist post from Republican

A conspiracy theory amplified by Republican presidential and vice presidential nominees Donald Trump and JD Vance continues to fan the flames, resulting in a racist online post, congressional outrage and a criminal complaint filed on behalf of Haitian immigrants in the United States.  On Tuesday, Haitian Bridge Alliance, a grassroots advocacy group on behalf of Black and Haitian migrants and immigrants, filed a criminal complaint against Trump and Vance.
