Help us break 100K Hey guys, it’s Sarah.

Most of what we do, we give away totally free. That’s because we believe that you can’t save democracy from behind a paywall.

But if you support this mission, if you want to ride with us here at The Bulwark, now is the time to do it.

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West.

ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

🚨News: A prominent author reached out to me about how the Trump administration tried to denaturalize her father-in-law and end his social security benefits and Medicare.

Her family speaks English and was able advocate for him. But what about those that can’t?

She knows that she wields immense power and responsibility.

Yet here she is on national TV, making baseless claims about a guy her boss wrongly sent to a gulag in El Salvador.

The Violence Against Women Act has been there for survivors for more than 30 years.

Negating the hard-fought progress of three decades is flat out wrong and cruel.

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

We're in The Bad Place, folks. The existence of an overseas gulag to which you - yes, you personally - can be sent with no recourse marks the end of a whole period of American history. There's no going back after this. Even if these guys are defeated, the new order will have to look much different.
