The Trump administration put billionaires, giant corporations and their profits first this year, while working people struggled to make ends meet.

Workers are fed up. And in 2026, America’s unions are ready to shift the fight back into overdrive.

Marco Rubio Is Not the Adult in the Room. He’s the Warmonger.

Every single senator eagerly confirmed their former colleague to be secretary of state, but he is not at all the moderating force that they thought he’d be.

The Trump administration celebrated Christmas on Thursday by posting a series of religious messages from official government accounts, using language that drew criticism from those who pointed to America's separation of church and state.
Trump Administration Emphasizes Religion in Official Christmas Messages
Government officials have traditionally steered clear of such overtly religious language, as the Constitution prohibits the establishment of an official state religion.

An anti-democratic (with a small “d”) Supreme Court ruling means that Texans will vote in the 2026 midterms using a map that a trial court found had been aggressively redrawn to target the seats of five Black and Latino members of Congress.

Imagine needing a birth certificate to get a state ID so you can work and vote, only to be told there's no record of your birth.

This happened to Robert, and it's far more common than you might think. Read his story to find out how @voteriders.bsky.social helped:
How to Get a Birth Certificate Without a Birth Record: Robert’s Story
When Michigan said he didn’t exist, Robert needed help proving his identity. VoteRiders opened the door he needed to move forward.

’Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the land,
Not a conscience was stirring, no mercy at hand;
The laws lay in tatters, the cold silence grew,
As hope held its breath for what morning might do.

Axios has learned the White House has begun managing the DOJ's account on X to respond to posts highlighting mentions of Trump in the Epstein files.

In typical administrations, there is a wall between the White House and what is supposed to be an independent Justice Department.

The White House has begun managing the DOJ's account on X, an effort to finish out the year and the Epstein file disclosure requirements set by Congress.

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass
Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.

Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?
Kavanaugh in a footnote in today's opinion says "the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity."

Abolish ICE and “defund the police” are nowhere near the same thing. Don’t conflate the two.

That said, ICE needs to go‼️

Mockler: He said he grabbed women because they let him do it. You heard that clip, right? Abuse of power dynamics. Now that he's in office, he's abusing these same power dynamics to cover up the files, delay the releases, redact.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.
