Stop occupying our cities!
Stop declaring war on our citizens!
Stop the police state!
Stop the kidnappings!

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Pope Leo says Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions.

"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty...or agrees with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the US,
is not really pro-life."

Pope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life'

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

We've become myopic with our news because our media doesn't report opposition - global OR national.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.
