I think that term applies mostly to for-profit companies, but we will see.

Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!President DJT

Once again, normal pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage <the> central pillar of their policy platform

This is the Republican playbook. They just need enough of the public to believe so that they can rig future elections in their favor.

At this point most traditional news organizations have capitulated to Trump. Personally I'm trying my best to consume news from independent journalists.

A Psychopath Talking About Seizing Elections—and a Party Too Cowardly to Stop Him “This isn’t a policy disagreement. It’s authoritarianism, said out loud.”

Trump just said Republicans should “take over the voting and nationalize it.” That’s authoritarianism, full stop. The silence from elected Republicans is cowardice—and it’s dangerous heading into November.

Dozens of people testify for hours at Indiana Statehouse on immigration bill Lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee made some changes to the immigration bill that makes it stricter and more enforceable by the Indiana Attorney General.

The dozens of Hoosiers who took time off work and school to testify at the Statehouse made it clear that Immigrants are essential to our state. As SB 76 moves through the IGA, it is critical to keep showing up and ensure lawmakers know Hoosiers will not accept unjust bills targeting our neighbors.

ICE claims a man shattered his skull running into wall; Minneapolis hospital staff reject account "It was laughable, if there was something to laugh about," said one of the nurses. "There was no way this person ran headfirst into a wall."

I will take up the noble cause of making this well known. Word of the year 2027?

Absolutely surreal to continue to hear about drawdowns and lowered temperatures and things calming down in Minneapolis when, as far as I can tell, literally nothing has changed on the ground

Trump admin officials promised to address state election leaders. They bailed. “Noem, Bondi, and Gabbard are cowards for not showing up today and answering the questions from election officials from across the country about this administration's abuses of power,” Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said.

NEW: Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem and Tulsi Gabbard inexplicably canceled their appearance at the Secretaries of State conference in D.C.

They were expected to address the administration’s attacks on voting and elections. Matt Cohen, who was on site, dives into the spectacle👇

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Just insane. I hope this message is spread far and wide. Democracy hangs in the balance of this chaos.
