Don't worry — Erika Kirk will never replace her husband She can't replicate his brand of gutter misogyny

MAGA is fawning over Erika Kirk right now, but there's no way she can keep Charlie's audience.

This one's straight to the point !! ☠️

Donald Trump just blew up another boat in the middle of the ocean with no legal justification.

I'm drafting a resolution and forcing a vote to reclaim Congress’s power to declare war.

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

“There weren’t any campaigns that had failed after they had achieved 3.5% participation during a peak event,” says Harvard political scientist Erica Chenoweth – a phenomenon she has called the “3.5% rule”.
