I feel like it should be bigger news that Trump is now openly considering a military draft. Young men haven't been called up for a draft since 1972. Not during the Gulf War. Not during Iraq or Afghanistan. He received five draft deferments but is now open to drafting your kids.

Trump moves to undo tax rule that Biden said would bring in $100 billion The Trump administration signaled a plan Friday to revoke a two-year-old tax rule designed to crack down on an arcane but highly lucrative tax avoidance tactic used by some of the largest and most com...

They call it “rolling back a rule.”
What it is: another gift to the rich.

They move the same asset through shell companies and erase their taxes again and again.

You work, you pay. No loopholes for you.

The wealthy cheat in daylight and call it policy.

Call it what it is.

Legalized theft.

Trump told us who he was in 2012. Will we finally believe him today? Trump has always been an election denier. He has always vilified voting. He has always started with lies, escalated to the courts, and ultimately embraced violent rhetoric.

Everyone knows Donald Trump has been an election denier since 2020. Some know that about 2016. But few know that it started in 2012.

After Obama won, Trump posted: “Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice!”

Trump ‘will not sign other bills’ until Republicans pass SAVE America Act The statement is a blunt ultimatum to Congress — pass the anti-voting bill or risk seeing other legislation stalled.

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump declared Sunday that he will not sign any other legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, dramatically escalating his campaign to force the voter suppression bill through the Senate. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.

Karoline Leavitt: “It’s not part of the current plan right now… but the president… wisely keeps his options on the table.”

She’s talking about a fucking draft.

Fox ran older footage but labeled it as happening Saturday.

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

Judge rules Kari Lake unlawfully ran U.S. media agency, voiding layoffs Sweeping layoffs at Voice of America made by Trump appointee Kari Lake were declared void by a federal judge, who said she served unlawfully.

BREAKING:

A federal judge in Washington just ruled that Kari Lake has unlawfully served as chief executive of the U.S. Agency for Global Media — which oversees Voice of America — and nullified many actions she has taken in the role, including mass layoffs of staff.

AFP: "It breaks my heart": UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher says "we're seeing staggering amounts of money, reportedly a billion dollars a day” being spent on the Middle East war, rather than addressing the world’s “huge humanitarian caseload.”

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

Contrarians Combat Trump’s Wrongdoing at Home and Abroad Fighting on all fronts: Publisher's Roundup 57

The Kennedy Center may never recover if Trump demolishes it

Congress ordered it be a living memorial to a slain president

Trump is defying that order — & it’s blatantly illegal

We’re in court to stop it

My publisher’s note on @contrariannews.org 👇 -TN

Sounds familiar.

Trump now blocking terror threat warnings because it makes him look bad.

“They don’t want anything getting out that says what they’re doing in Iran is raising the threat level at home.”

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Well, no shit. I’ve been raising the alarm on this for years now

Buttigieg: You’ve got money from the Middle East going into the Trump family crypto fund while you have Americans going to the Middle East for Donald Trump’s war.

Trump is lifting oil sanctions on Russian while they’re helping Iran target Americans.

Putin definitely has a copy of the Epstein files.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

😂 😝 😆

Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.

Trump and Hegseth know exactly what happened with the bombing of the girls school. This “investigation” is a smoke screen because they know the attention span of our media cycles, so they will drag it out until they stop getting asked about it. Which is usually 48 hours or so.

We desperately need to grow independent media as fast as we can. You can start by signing up for Democracy Docket. I started it 6 years ago to be unapologetic pro-democracy. No corporate backers. It will never bow down or obey.

Today in Trump foreign policy:

Fox: Can you comment on Russians helping Iran target our troops?

Trump: That’s a stupid question. I’m only talking about college football before I fly to Palm Beach for a weekend of golf.

Bessent: We are now lifting sanctions on Russian oil.

He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.
