A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

β€œI heard the officer say β€˜that ain’t shit’.”

NASHVILLE β€” ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.

Dr. Jasmine Clark for Congress She flipped a long-held Republican seat in the Georgia House of Representatives and has fought to defend it ever since, even after Republican leaders redrew her district three times to try to stop her...

She is definitely someone I’d recommend supporting

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

ICE deportation flights are getting longer and crueler A private equity–owned airline profits off Trump’s migrant crackdown.

Migrants have said they sometimes soil themselves in their seats.

Even when permitted to use the lavatory, many say it is difficult to adequately clean themselves while shackled.
