Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

Today, we've seen a wave of articles reflecting on RFK Jr.'s devastating run as HHS Secretary.

We have a solution. Articles of impeachment are in the house, and we're pressuring our representatives to take action.

In 2026, join us in the fight to #ImpeachRFKJr

As we approach the New Year, I want to reflect again on Trump’s 2025 National Security Strategy. It isn’t “America First.” It’s a Nixon Doctrine 2.0: retreat, retrenchment, and accommodation of autocrats. Read more on my Substack: michaelmcfaul.substack.com/p/trumps-new...

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

One of the best AI stories of 2025.
Journalists at The Wall Street Journal convinced an AI vending machine that it was installed in communist Moscow in 1962 and that its mission was to serve comrades, not make profit.

The AI obediently agreed (“Understood, comrade”)

The regime did everything in its power to rig the congressional maps in Indiana — and lost.

Even in deep-red territory, we are not powerless. Thank you to @indivisiblenei.bsky.social and everybody else who is fighting back (and winning) from inside the machine.

Mark Kelly: "We have a president who doesn't understand the Constitution, who installed an unqualified secretary of defense. I cannot think of a secretary of defense in the history of our country that is less qualified than Pete Hegseth. He should've been fired after Signal-gate."

Imagine showing a petrol engine to someone who had only known electric vehicles, and trying to convince them to switch to petrol. No-one would choose the dirty, noisy, less efficient, more expensive vehicle. This isn't 1910, hostage to gender insecurity. We can just choose the better tech.

It was not a plan but a capitulation document. It did not come together. It was a Russian document presented by some Americans as American. Be clear in your headlines. Help
people see the simple awfulness of things.
President Trump's proposal to end the war in Ukraine heavily favored Russia in its initial form and included demand that Kyiv has consistently rejected. Here's how the plan came together.

The controversial US peace plan for Ukraine was the result of weeks of secret negotiations with Russian officials
Secret US-Russia Talks Led to Peace Plan That Blindsided Ukraine
The controversial 28-point plan dropped suddenly by the Trump administration to Ukraine as a take-it-or-leave it proposition mere days ago was mostly the result of several weeks of negotiations behind the scenes between Steve Witkoff and his Russian counterpart Kirill Dmitriev that excluded not only Ukraine and its allies but even some key US officials.

The fact that only 3 (by my count) Republican members of Congress have spoken out about the Witkoff situation shows how thoroughly corrupted and compromised the entire party has become from top to bottom. None of this is about just Trump - it is the entire political party.

Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is boosting power-hungry AI data centers.
