We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship.

Trump Organization Is Said to Be in Talks on a Saudi Government Real Estate Deal

This coming week, Trump will host Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi leader who approved the murder and dismemberment of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Not coincidentally, the Saudis are working on a new business deal with the Trump Organization.
It's blood money – or bonesaw money.

According to a new analysis by Democrats on the Joint Economic Committee, the average American family has paid more than $700 in higher costs per month since Trump took office.

Remember when Trump said he would end inflation on "day one"?

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Merkley: "We were hearing the president yesterday saying, 'Well, I don't want to do these tax credits. Maybe I want to send out checks instead.' Ok, Mr President, you have a new plan? Let's get these tax credits out now & you'll have a year to develop the details & not have people left in the lurch"

The Supreme Court ruled that Trump can unilaterally withhold $4 billion in foreign aid already approved by Congress that his regime deemed β€œwasteful.”

Meanwhile, he’s happy to bail out his authoritarian pal in Argentina to the tune of $20 billion.

Talk about wasteful.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

Honoring Two Nonfiction Masters At theΒ  end of 2022, my two most important nonfiction mentors passed away just a month apart, and shortly after that, my mother died too. So...

Four great books by two nonfiction masters are now back in print. Perfect for school and home libraries.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

You're welcome

Rep. Jasmine Crockett just did an absolutely brilliant job on Kasie Hunt's CNN show explaining why it's fair to describe Donald Trump as authoritarian and why it's nonsense to say that saying this promotes violence.

She's clearly got a lot of brain processing power, I must say.

Let’s Not Forget Who Charlie Kirk Really Was The right-wing influencer did not deserve to die, and we shouldn’t forget the many despicable things he said and did.

We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Shame! Yes she got kickbacks, but she doesn’t realize that Alaskans still depend on a stable & accessible system in WA. Harborview Seattle is Alaska’s closest Level 1 facility. She may feel she is helping Alaska, but she is hurting the state that Alaskans need to function well to access vital care.
