Senate Republicans to Trump: Sic the Military on L.A. Plus: A tale of two broken promises.

We believe in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, separation of powers, and checks and balances.

The U.S. was founded in opposition to monarchy. We fought for democracy over dictatorship.

What the Trump regime is doing is the antithesis of the values this nation was founded upon.

Carney: Canada must be looking elsewhere to expand our trade, to build our economy, and to protect our sovereignty. Canada is ready to take a leadership role in building a coalition of likeminded countries who share our values… If the US no longer wants to lead, Canada will

billionaire minions are tearing down education in America at break neck speed. The insidious purpose of this endeavor has always been to build a more ignorant and, therefore, more controllable American citizenry.

The End of College Life If they persist, Donald Trump’s attacks on universities will destroy a cornerstone of American life.

We are in an era of the dumbing down of America on steroids. The political right have been hell-bent on this mission for more than 50 years. Now, the heritage foundation with their megalomaniacal "leader" (actually puppet) tRumpf and his (cont'd)

utterly fucking astounding that any Dem would look at what’s happening and think that giving this administration sweeping new authority to prosecute speech on the internet is a good idea

Even Elon Musk's own "Grok" AI thinks Trump is a Russian asset.

"You should be hired on the basis of merit."
