Judge Immergut quotes James Madison from the
Records of the Federal Convention of 1787: “A standing
military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The
means of defence [against] foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at
home.”

The most powerful force in American politics today is antiestablishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate and Wall Street Democrats and embrace Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

What a disappointment Jeffries has turned out to be.
“It’s a legitimate issue that has been raised, and the Mamdani campaign is gonna have to address it,” declared Jeffries.

"Democrats may still have the aura of geriatrics and a brand that seems painfully out of touch with younger voters. But a change is actually well underway.

Just about everywhere you look in the Democratic party right now, a new generation of leaders is emerging."

how much of the money from the ICE/tax cuts bill is just going to go to scammers, do you think? www.richmonder.org/this-tuckaho...
This Tuckahoe home won a $1.26 billion contract for an ICE detention center. The owner isn't talking.

I worry that escalating war with Iran will be used to whip up more fear and hate for non-white immigrants, particularly those of Arab descent, and be used for unjust deportations.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
