I'm frankly tired of hearing complaints about the democrats. It's a top down org because people stopped being active card carrying chapter members and all that entailed. Until we collectively return to our active local community roots, we will continue to struggle as we are. History = roadmap.

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

ICE illegally entering a home, removing the occupants, slamming the front door shut, and then having the opportunity to steal valuables such as cash & jewelry from the home.
Fascism is here in America and brace yourself, it will get much worse.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Contradictions abound in the life and times of Pete Hegseth, writes @lylerubin.bsky.social. His harangue at Quantico focused on fat troops and fat leaders, and he waxed romantic about accountability, merit, and high standards—then he introduced Donald Trump.

A $250 bill with Trump's face on it must be Andy Barr’s boot-licking way of saying inflation has gotten too high.

Since Bondi won’t give an answer to the question to whatever happened to the $50,000 given to Homan, it should do like it used to in the days prior to Trump. Co grass has the power of the purse. Freeze the DoJ funding until the Congress gets an answer. Has Congress given away all of its power?

Today I wrote about why my law firm is currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states. While the legacy media focuses on other things, Trump has launched a wholesale attack on free and fair elections.

Nineteen years ago, on October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated by Putin's hitmen.
She was the first to tell the truth about Russia's mass crimes in Chechnya, which foreshadowed those in Syria, Ukraine, Africa and elsewhere. They could have been prevented.
Almost no one listened to her.
