The transformation of ICE into a type of national police force, backed, in some cases, by soldiers from the National Guard, has been covered as immigration story—but these forces are reshaping democracy for all of us.

Since Mike Johnson won’t do anything about the DOJ’s illegal slow-walking of the Epstein-files release, we have to.

Write to your Rep here and tell demand Pam Bondi release ALL of the files!
Tell Congress: Demand AG Bondi release ALL of the Epstein files now

Decided to put some thoughts on paper for this "anniversary" of January 6th
Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn was on the front lines of January 6. Five years later, he warns the greatest threat isn’t just what happened—but the lies rewriting it. “January 6 was not legitimate political discourse.” Read his powerful piece: www.meidasplus.com/p/history-be...

Please call and urge your congresspeople to publicly defend Senator Mark Kelly and to forcefully condemn Pete Hegseth and the Trump administration's attacks on this American patriot.

Don't know anything about this man, or the WWE, but in all realms we need people taking this principled, patriotic, moral stance.
Pro-wrestling legend Mick Foley announced this morning that he's parting ways with WWE over the organization's "close relationship with Donald Trump," saying the president's "incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me."

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

If you're represented by a Republican, tell them it's time for Mike Johnson to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. No more excuses or delays. app.sosha.ai/s/Nr3SIlGB

812,000 Arizonans don't have a representative right now because Republicans refuse to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The GOP must stop playing games with our democracy.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

Our legal columnist Ankush Khardori watched all of Pam Bondi’s public appearances this year.

His conclusion: "Bondi has emerged as perhaps the most openly political and partisan attorney general in modern American history."
