The RSF militia, backed by the United Arab Emirates, has slaughtered countless civilians in Sudan.

The US keeps selling arms to the UAE despite their support for these crimes. And Trump only cares about cutting deals with the Emiratis.

Enough. No more weapons for war crimes.

“Putin doesn’t want peace.” After another night of terror in Kyiv, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called out Russia’s lies, while Canada stepped up, announcing billions in economic and military support to defend Ukraine and build a just, lasting peace.

In three years, all the Trump wording on govt buildings will be thrown in a giant fire.

We will literally have a big bonfire on national TV…. And ceremonially destroy any memory of the Trump presidency

And replace his photo on the “walk of fame” in WH with two huge Cankles

No American president has ever named ships or institutions after himself—until now. Trump’s gold-plated presidency isn’t about strength. It’s about fear, ego, and unmistakable ignorance.

Dozens of energy projects cancelled in California. 
 
Now five more on the East Coast. 
 
All because Donald Trump wants to kill cheap, renewable energy. 
 
Want to know who will pay the price for Trump's job killing cancellations?

Check your utility bill next year and you will see.

Trump didn’t earn the Kennedy Center’s name — he stole it.

Self-appointed chairman. Stacked board. Congress bypassed. Kennedy Family ignored.

CBS spiked legit journalism, aired the FAKE gala, and called it tradition.

This is state-run culture.

During the holiday season, we all want to spend time with our loved ones.
 
And yet, just two months after buying Walgreens for $10 billion, the private equity firm Sycamore Partners stripped hourly workers of paid vacation, including Christmas and New Year’s Day.
 
Shameful.

Trump's approval is down to just 36% according to the latest Gallup poll.

He is about as popular as convicted felons and pedophiles. Oh, wait...

Mitt Romney said the quiet part out loud: the rich should pay more in taxes.
The Wall Street Journal attacked him for it.
But he’s right—and ignoring the math is how democracies crack.

NEWS: Bill Clinton is demanding full transparency from the Trump DOJ on the Epstein files.

Clinton’s spokesman says the DOJ’s selective release suggests someone is being protected.

He calls on Trump to direct Bondi to immediately release all remaining materials referencing Clinton.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

Yet another reminder that when billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech.

It’s a win for oligarchy.

The super-rich won't hesitate to sell out the American public if it means getting merger approvals or deregulation that helps their bottom line.
