Romans 10:9-10
English Standard Version
“9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.“

We have reached the stage where legacy media simply ignores Trump's targeting of political opponents for prosecution. Meanwhile, commentators and pundits find ways to dismiss it or - in some cases - normalize it.

I will never accept it and neither should you. Watch and share. youtu.be/yZR90S5DUKE

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

As the lights continue to dim on our Democracy, I just want to go on record that I have always believed that everyone deserves quality universal health coverage whatever it’s called. No one should ever have to worry about going to the doctor and putting food on the table. No one. It’s a human right.

Mad about Trump's destruction of the East Wing? Blame Big Tech.

Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Google have a lot riding on their relationships with the current administration. They all cut checks for the ballroom.

For Trump’s opponents, this shift toward autocracy represents both a challenge and an opportunity—one that Bernie Sanders has laid the foundation for, and Zohran Mamdani and his movement have now seized.

When no one else is coming to save you, you have to save yourselves.
Democratic voters want their leaders to stop running from Zohran Mamdani

Trump is demanding that the DOJ transfer $230 million in taxpayer dollars into his own personal bank account.

He can do this because, thanks to the Supreme Court’s recent decisions, the executive branch could accurately be described by King Louis XIV—L’état, c’est Trump.
As Trump plans to steal $230 million from taxpayers, we can thank John Roberts
Shall we call it a "Roberts reward"?

Denise Rosales has never been arrested. She’s never been handcuffed or spent a night in jail.

Yet, if you perform a background check, a criminal database maintained by the FBI will say that she was charged with three crimes in January 2021.

Now, this Texas mom is fighting to clear her name.
They’ve never been arrested. Why does the FBI list thousands of service members as likely criminals?
