An official government account using the word โ€œremigrationโ€ is not normal. Itโ€™s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState

โ€œPresident Donald Trumpโ€™s administration plans to make the program even more generous โ€” pushing to open even more of the 240 million acres of Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service grazing land to livestock while reducing oversight of the environmental damage.โ€

The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The โ€œunwindโ€ in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars. It would not be possible to ever make up for that kind of a โ€œdrubbing.โ€ That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!

An excerpt from Randi Weingartenโ€™s new book, โ€œWhy Fascists Fear Teachers,โ€ reveals why Trump and the far right are demeaning teachers, slashing school funding, and rewriting history.

Putin's Legend The Nonsensical Basis of a Terrible War

As Putin heads to Alaska with his maps and narratives, here's an essay I wrote last year about one of his spurious justifications for Russia's illegal war of aggressionโ€”his ideological story that Russia is an ancient state, and Ukraine is historically Russian land

NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned.

Today, weโ€™re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

The Democratic Partyโ€™s capitulation to the Crypto lobby is one of the most nakedly corrupt things Iโ€™ve seen in my life.

Crypto is a blatant scam with zero value that is designed to end popular control of our currency. Dems just co-signed the next global financial crisis. Itโ€™s unforgivable.

Not a lawyer but my reading of today's SCOTUS Medicaid ruling is a double edged sword: if states can refuse to cover Planned Parenthood providers then states can also refuse cover those shady grifters who run crisis pregnancy "clinics"
