The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.
Opinion | Banning Abortion a Hallmark of Authoritarian Regimes
Seda Saluk writes about how U.S. policy on abortion rights has started to mirror patterns seen in authoritarian regimes around the world.

Former Judge Andrew Napolitano, who worked alongside Pete Hegseth for years at Fox, says the Sept. 2 boat strike is "an act of a war crime."

"Everybody along the line who did it, from the secretary of Defense, to the admiral, to the people who actually pulled the trigger should be prosecuted."

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.

You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.

It says it right in the Constitution.
Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.
Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

This is a must read. The most in depth understanding of how corrupt our foreign policy has become. Trump and Witkoff (Rubio totally sidelined) are proposing to sell out Ukraine in exchange for Russian deals for their billionaire crowd.

Not about peace. Just about profit.

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.

It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

The reason Pete Hegseth issued illegal orders to “kill them all” is because they don’t want anyone finding out they killed innocent fishermen instead of drug traffickers. They don’t care who they kill.

Trump said today he'll be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Hernandez, who was convicted of drug trafficking and weapons charges in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Waging a drug war on Venezuela while pardoning a narco-terrorist takes hypocrisy to a level once thought impossible.

One-third of the energy now generated in Texas is from renewables like wind and solar. Without this clean energy, the grid in Texas would have failed multiple times and many people would have died. This is something Gov. Abbott and the GOP refuse to tell the public.

If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water.

Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state.

It’s a blue state. Let’s get cracking on moving Delaware lawmakers on this!

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

Disobey illegal orders. A soldier’s duty is to uphold the law. If given an illegal order, the correct action is to refuse it, document it, and report it up the chain of command or to legal authorities. Protect civilians, yourself, your unit, the mission, and the nation.
