Democratic Party leaders nationwide should be taking notes.

Hats off to the Democratic Party leadership leaving the state, to prevent the vote on the Republican ‘s election rigging, voter suppressing gerrymandering efforts in Texas.

In pre war Germany a loaf of bread cost billions of marks.

The value of the U.S. dollar is headed that way.

And is killing people the world over by eliminating funding for programs like USAID.

You have to know that when Melania signed that prenup she never thought he would live this long.

Had she known…

She’d still have made that choice.

Hope she’s as miserable as the guy she married.

No decent woman kills a rose garden.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

In a Federal Courtroom in Texas, Republicans Were Desperate to Keep Details of their Gerrymander Under Wraps

Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.
