Our first ad of 2026! Because politics stuck in 2006 won't meet the moment.

It's time to stand up to ICE, white supremacists, and the billionaire oligarchy.

Greenland doesn't want to be bought by anyone — especially not the U.S.

But a Cold War agreement already allows President Trump to increase military presence on the territory, analysts say. Here's what to know.
Buy Greenland? Take It? Why? An Old Pact Already Gives Trump a Free Hand.
Analysts say the Cold War agreement allows the president to increase the American military presence almost at will.

The Bari Weissification of CBS News is going exactly as expected:

Censoring honest journalism, pointless virtue signaling as ‘reasonable moderates’ (read: insanely reactionary), and making pro-pedophile propaganda
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.

One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

wait, so the invasion along the southern border is not real?
NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.

They departed Texas 5 days ago.

What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

Tim Walz just did 1st interview w/ MN media since the campaign

"Are there things you could've done differently? Since we lost, the answer is obviously yes... I did the best I could"

"I was a little surprised [we lost]. I thought we had a positive message & I thought the country was ready for that"

Cassidy's quote is the real mind-boggler here. Saying the 2017 tax cut paid for itself is like saying "Actually we won the Iraq War easily, zero Americans or Iraqis died, and we left in a month and a half." It's not a matter of opinion. And Cassidy is supposed to be one of the sane Republicans.
Republicans, uncomfortable being held responsible for causing trillions of dollars of debt, are workshopping ways to pretend tax cuts are free.

Senator Crapo is taking the “just pretend the costs don’t count” approach.

Senator Cassidy seems to be taking the “it pays for itself” approach.

Given that Harris ran a better campaign than Trump on every conceivable measure - better candidate, no scandals, more money, better ground operation, etc etc etc - and granted that it isn't over yet, evidence suggests the answer to this question is no
