The Real Target of Trump’s War on Drug Boats The Administration has blown up seven vessels in the Caribbean in recent weeks, but the President has been pushing for more dramatic military action in Latin America since his first term.

Valuable reporting here. I think the key thing is the use of Venezuela to accustom American armed forces to lawless murder. The goal then is to get them to do the same thing inside the US.

Per Curiam. Respondent was admitted to the practice of law in this state in 2007, and he has also been admitted to practice in Massachusetts, New Jersey, California, Texas, Florida and Illinois.

The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department (hereinafter AGC) thereafter moved to strike respondent's name from the roll of attorneys due to his felony conviction or, alternatively, to impose discipline upon respondent as a consequence of his commission of a "serious

NEWS: Kenneth Chesebro, "architect" of the 2020 fake electors plot who pleaded to criminal charges in Georgia, has been disbarred from the practice of law in New York, per order issued today by New York appellate court.

77 million voted for this lawless man and every damn elected Republican has refused to push back for five straight months as he flouts our laws, violates our Constitution, attacks our people—and now recklessly and illegally wages war.

Weingarten: Their attacks on public education are relentless and why? Because they fear knowledge. Why do they fear teachers? They fear us because we teach critical thinking… their brand of greed, power, and privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse educated citizens

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

We are heartbroken by the senseless killing of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. From day one, Speaker Emerita Hortman made gun violence prevention a top priority, working alongside Moms Demand Action volunteers.

When you normalize political violence by pardoning Jan 6 attackers, can we be surprised when people target public officials? This is not how we resolve our disputes in America.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Julia Parsons, U.S. Navy Code Breaker During World War II, Dies at 104 Soon after her officer training in Washington, she was recruited to a classified code-breaking team. She kept her work secret for decades, even from her family.

Julia Parsons, a U.S. Navy code breaker during World War II who was among the last survivors of a top-secret team of women that unscrambled messages to and from German U-boats, has died at 104.

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.
