The federal courts are one of the last meaningful checks on executive power. Add your name and demand that the Senate stop confirming Donald Trumpβs judicial nominees and protect the independence of the federal courts.

The caption reads 'Let's not be too obvious, Sir.

They lost too many progressives. So the GOP swept the table and everybody lost. Is there a way back? I don't know.

IPSO have published their verdict on The Daily Telegraphβs fake Β£345,000-a year banker couple who claimed they couldnβt afford five holidays.
The paper declined to explain to the watchdog how the article came to be published - but our reporting at the time sets it outβ¦
Seeing people in the news industry say that articles should be AI-generated is absolutely bonkers and the antithesis of why so many of us became journalists in the first placeβbecause we aspired to the art of reporting AND writing. I will never release AI slop under my byline.
