Canada, please be aware that Turning Point USA tied entities or groups in your country are in fact foreign agents attempting to subvert your democracy and harm your national security.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Does your Christian church have a plan to help the community when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November?

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

The Illusion of Order: Business leaders think a little autocracy might bring stability. History and data say the opposite.

"Many of the CEOs I spoke with didn’t care about democracy per se. For them, democracy wasn’t a moral good. It was a source of volatility. What they wanted was stability... "

I feel like im going insane, why is everyone pretending this was just some normal guy worthy of mourning

Brazil’s supreme court finds Bolsonaro guilty of plotting military coup Former president faces decades-long jail sentence for seeking to forcibly cling to power after losing 2022 election
