Trump deploying National Guardsmen in DC exposes one of his big lies about January 6th.

Kash Patel falsely claimed for years that the Democrats failed to take Trump up on his offer to deploy the Guard on Jan. 6.

But Trump could have deployed the DC Guard himself and didnโ€™t. Now he does.

Eight Nordic-Baltic nations issue a joint statement rejecting territorial concessions in Ukraine peace talks.

"No decisions on Ukraine without Ukraine, and no decisions on Europe without Europe," the countries declared.

Just like our employment numbers, crime in DC is falling. Trump will probably fire the person who compile this data too.

Vaccines donโ€™t just prevent deadly and dangerous diseases like measles, polio and COVID-19.

A new study found that people who got the shingles vaccine had a 20% lower risk of developing dementia.

I want to urge you to make waves. I want to urge you
to rock the boat. I want to urge you to get off your
duff. I want vou to speak out at whatever cost if it
comes from your heart. You're going to build this
country in which my six grandchildren will grow up.
And when you see what you have done,
I hope that you are proud of it.

Retired military leaders warn that under Trump, the U.S. is veering toward militarism and moral decay. They call for restoring civilian control of the military and recommitting to the rule of law before the nation drifts further into danger.

Governors Can Not Remove Elected Legislators. Period. A democracy must have an independent legislature. Only voters elect and unelect representatives.

History and Article IVโ€™s Guarantee Clause makes clear that a stateโ€™s governor cannot remove members of the legislature. No governor has ever claimed such power. It runs against the full history of Texas and American democracy as a whole.

Opinion | A new era of government censorship has dawned Donald Trump fancies himself a champion of free speech. Oh, really?

A new era of government censorship has begun.
It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthinkโ€”on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself

๐Ÿšจ Sources close to the DC mayor and police say, Trump will deploy 1,000 National Guard troops into D.C. tomorrow/Monday.

โ€ข For context, Los Angeles is 502.7 square miles, and he deployed 4,000 troops there.

โ€ข Washington, D.C. is only 68.3 square miles.

This is what cities under siege look like.

This is a view so outrageously wrong and so obviously intended to defend and thus support what is profoundly immoral and therefore indefensible, that it undermines completely the mission of the ADL and negates any credibility or clout it may have had. Deeply misguided.
