“Virginians can respond by making sure your voting power is not diminished by what Republicans are doing,” Obama said.

Republican Rep. Kiley leaves GOP, tightening Johnson's margins Kiley said he will still caucus with Republicans for administrative purposes.

Republican Rep. Kiley of CA has left the GOP, now declaring himself an Independent. Speaker Mike Johnson's majority is tightening like a noose around his neck.

NEW: Threats to democracy are now a top priority — tied with inflation and cost of living — for voters ahead of the 2026 midterms, according to a new poll.

The results come as Trump says he wants to “take over” voting and pushes for Congress to pass the SAVE America Act. https://bit.ly/4cyyxBu

An activist took a stand in front of the russian Embassy in Ottawa, holding a photo of the maternity hospital in Mariupol that russia bombed in 2022.

It is one of the most well-known images of russia’s war crimes in Ukraine.
This is what they are actually "proud" of.

Special Olympics are different and should be held inviolate from the depravation of politics and politicians -

russia will pay for what putin and his duma mob-bosses have done to others as well as their own people -

these games are not for the "glory of russia" - they are for the participants -

It is reported that Iran selected Mojtaba Khamenei in part because Trump said in an interview that he was "unacceptable" to Trump.

So Trump has ensured the person running Iran is *more* theocratic and hates the US for killing his wife and father. Well done, Donald!

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, and on and on and on. Lindsey Graham says they are “marching through the world.”
They don’t care how many US soldiers they get killed. Meanwhile, they’re building concentration camps at home for Americans to die in. What will it take for people to wake up?
