Make no mistake, he is justifying violence if he objects to the outcome of an election. Keep that in mind as we prepare for 2026.

New tariff just dropped.

Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.

It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.

Trump is severing the linkage between the legislature and the purse, and attempting to concentrate access to capital in the hands of the executive. This is not how a president of the United States observing the Constitution operates.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.

This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

Trump endorses a primary opponent against Bill Cassidy. He sold his soul to confirm RFK Jr, and Trump sticks it to him anyway. This is why it is even more disgusting that these cowards are afraid to stand up to him. He demands total fealty but has no loyalty to them.
