Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

We started as Operation Anti-King about seven months ago, so we were doing the #NoKings thing before it was cool.

Additionally: We are now and will forever be 'the antifa people.' Antifa = anti-fascist.

Glad we can clear that up for you, Speaker Johnson!

Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

President Meredith Whittaker warned that “the latest EU Chat Control proposals would require mass scanning of every message, photo, and video on a person’s device, assessing these via a government-mandated database or AI model to determine whether they are permissible content or not.”

Meiselas: Trump says he’s focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and government employees, whatever that means. Again, completely pathetic behavior, and in normal times, this would be impeachable and/or 25th Amendment territory.
