So apparently senators must now be notified in advance if their phone records are requested during the investigation of a crime. No one else, just senators. So they're free to crime and can't be investigated without notice. This is so wrong, but it's great for senators who want to commit crimes.

This likely won’t be the last intelligence sharing suspension we see over this - based on the publicly available evidence, these strikes don’t come close to meeting the threshold for deadly force.

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.

We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

Today, we express our gratitude to all those who have defended our country and to the families of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Every veteran who defends this nation must get the quality health care and benefits they have earned and receive the respect they deserve.

Service is the truest measure of patriotism. On Veterans Day, we honor all who have taken the oath and worn the uniform - and our nation recommits to keeping its promises to every veteran who served our country.

Trump ramps up the 'insider pardon' for those in his personal, political orbit This week, President Trump pardoned allies accused of trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election. It is part of an uptick in "insider pardons" issued in his second term, one legal expert says.

NEW: A Fort Worth church is offering a $100 online academy that aims to train conservative Christians to run for office.

At the core of the program is the idea that there's no separation between what happens within the church and in the government.

Pardoning your co-conspirators to own the libs!

Most of their charges are state charges, so this doesn’t actually help them. It’s gross, but it doesn’t really move the needle.
