We are at the point in this country where military personnel & law enforcement personnel & government officials need to say no to the tyrant. We are at the point in this country where Americans serving in government need to disobey his orders.

Weโ€™re well past that point.

Trump is Wrecking our Travel Industry Anti-Trump fervor threatens foreign tourism and travelers between our border states, anticipating a poor showing at the forthcoming World Cup and Olympic games

Trump's anti-immigrant agenda is already hitting America where it hurts. Tourists are fleeing the U.S. and taking billions with themโ€”and the 2026 World Cup could be the next casualty. Jen Rubin explains.

Senators Hawley & Schmitt voted to cut Medicaid & SNAP when 1,223,000 Missourians depend on Medicaid, with 40% of births being covered by Medicaid, & 656,600 Missourians depend on SNAP benefits.

They traded the well-being of Missourians for a pat on the head from a felon.

Imagine this is you.

Youโ€™re locked in a cell thousands of miles from home. No one knows where you are. No charges. No trial. No end in sight.

Trump spoke of โ€œshylocks,โ€ which is one of the most recognizable antisemitic terms in modern English. Watch who tries to explain this away.

A U.S. citizen who was arrested for filming an ICE raid at Home Depot is suing the federal government for $1 millionโ€” and I hope he gets every penny.

A G.O.P. Plan to Sell Public Land Is Back. This Time, Itโ€™s Millions of Acres.

We cannot stop beating this drum.

Republicans are about to sell of millions of acres of public lands.

This will harm everyone, but especially Utahns. Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/c...

Iโ€™ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

When law enforcement runs around in plain clothes with no badges kidnapping people, the copycats are sure to follow.

Itโ€™s actually terrifying that instead of passing laws to require ID & badges for law enforcement @marshablackburn, Speaker Sexton, Jack Johnson & the @TNGOP are going to criminalize transparency and put the law behind masked vigilantes in unmarked vans disappearing people by force.

"Noemโ€™s letter speaks to a growing thirst within the Trump administration to blur the line between the U.S. military and local law enforcement in ways that are alarming and potentially threaten civil liberties."

Kristi Noem was hospitalized for an allergic reaction.

Guess who identified root cause, pathology, & treatments for allergies?

Scientists & physicians with research funding.

If MAHA & Trump admin get their way (sheโ€™s part of), say bye to innovation, discoveries & scientists who drive them.

GOP Bill Would Legalize DOGE and Let Trump Dismantle Everything The Reorganizing Government Act is a long shot in the Senate, but that could change โ€” and so would the separation of powers

MSN & Yahoo republished my June 4 Rolling Stone article, no paywall:

Judges have told Trump, for #DOGE austerity, he needs authority from Congress. That's what the Reorg. Govt Act would give him. Quotes from @heathermarsh.bsky.social,others

Thanks to the #TrumpTax, POLA had their slowest month in two years, longshore jobs are down by 50%, and truckers areย carrying almost half their usual loads.

These tariffs are bad for business, bad for consumers, bad for workers, and need to end.
