Today’s #HandsOff rally in Conway #NewHampshire may have been the largest in the history of that town of 10,000 people — Approximately 800 peacefully protesting MuskTrump overreach, demanding protections for Medicaid, Social Security, Veterans, & civil liberties, among many core issues.

Trump headlining $1 million a person super PAC dinner as stocks sink over tariffs Donors attending the Mar-a-Lago candlelight fundraising dinner Friday are being charged $1 million a plate.

People are losing their jobs and savings, prices are rising higher, and the entire economy is on the brink of disaster—but Donald Trump couldn’t care less.

His billionaire political donors will be just fine.

Israel has embraced "Gazafication" of the West Bank -- applying the toolbox of war to the West Bank. Here's my reporting from Tulkarem: 40,000 are homeless and a 23-year-old woman was shot dead while eight months pregnant, all with an assist from the US. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/o...

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me."
