The State of Democracy in the United States

Democracy in the United States is in crisis. But the story of this moment is not only one of crisis. It is also one of courage.

Tonight, the world's most famous rapist and alleged pedophile will deliver up to three hours of a propaganda show to rally his base and convince them that the benefits of voting for him outweigh revealing all the child sex trafficking crimes. That's what tonight is about.

ICE begins to purchase warehouses, but some owners are backing out of deals Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is encountering some pushback as it undertakes a $45 billion expansion of detention centers.

ICE is trying to turn warehouses into detention camps all over the country. But local opposition is *WORKING* to stop it.

Susan Rice is right. Now Netflix must choose. The institutions and individuals who betrayed democratic principles will bear that mark of shame well into the future.

NEW: Veteran foreign policy expert Susan Rice does not issue warnings lightly.

Yet last week she said โ€œitโ€™s not going to end wellโ€ for corporations bending the knee to Trump.

Now, Netflix faces a decision that will determine which side of history it wants to be on, Marc Elias writes.

Trump's tariffs fell. His assault on the Constitution continues. On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Donald Trump's tariffs were illegal and violated the U.S. Constitution.
