And to make things crazier, once that happens, consumers are going to figure out they're being taxed to pay for the tax they were illegally taxed.

β€œShe may be the White House spokesperson, but I am Spain’s Foreign Minister, and I can assure you that our position remains unchanged.”

Trump's war on elections is hiding in plain sight False claims that foreign government interference caused him to lose in 2020 have been a staple of the diet of lies Trump feeds to his faithful.

Donald Trump is seeking to collect massive amounts of information β€” including personal and partisan voter data β€” at an unprecedented scale. He is trying to pressure AI companies into allowing unrestricted use of their powerful tools against American citizens. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

As filings close, Republican Steve Daines withdraws from U.S. Senate race Daines praised Alme in a press release issued after campaign filing ended.

I was on a flight tonight, so I missed the extraordinary decision by Senator Daines to quit his reelection race minutes before the deadline to pave the way for his chosen successor without triggering a competitive GOP primary. montanafreepress.org/2026/03/04/r...

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.

Over half goes to private defense contractors.

Now that Republicans have done Trump's bidding by blocking limits on his war powers, remember that in doing this, they are also relieving *themselves* of the obligation to vote on the enormously consequential decision of whether to go to war. Craven abdication.
