At this difficult moment in American history, we must be honest with ourselves:

Our nation, once the envy of the world, is now in profound decline.

For the sake of our children and future generations, we must reverse course.

Americans are turning against ICE in the wake of the murder of Renee Good. As Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act, Democratic leaders are fighting back. And as the midterms approach, some good news for Democrats' chances of taking back Congress. There are bright spots amid the darkness.
Our Wins Of The Week
In the wake of the murder of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent last week, the Trump administration tried to gaslight the nation into thinking she was a “domestic terrorist.”

If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now?

Just checking what the standards are these days.
