National parks cut free entry for MLK Day, add Trump's birthday NPS changed its free admission days in 2026, removing MLK Day and Juneteenth while adding Trump's birthday.

Stephen Miller Calls For 'Legitimate State Power' To Dismantle 'Leftwing Terrorism' White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller called on the full power of the federal government to dismantle "leftwing terrorism," saying it's "the only remedy" for what ails the United States.

I wonder why this Nazi cosplayer doesnโ€™t call for the end of right wing terror or even all terror in the United States.

Florida Republicans Officially Start Gerrymandering Process In Apparent Effort to Gain More Seats Before Midterms The move comes amid an ongoing battle in Texasโ€™s state House to approve a new map that the GOP believes could net it 5 more seats in Congress.

At what point do we stop calling ourselves a functioning democracy? This is sickening, watching ourselves hurtle towards authoritarianism with one party helping it happen.
