Trump is posting on social media "like a Klansman." Absolutely NO difference in Trump and the KKK night riders.

Agreed. The paywalls on critical stories are a danger to citizens' knowledge of Trump's America.

American concentration camps, early stages. In Germany, after leaders of Ohrdruf viewed their city's camp in April 1945, the mayor of Ohrdruf killed himself. Did he know beforehand, or was he horrified at his community's involvement, afterward?

February 5, 2026 The past two days have seen a growing struggle between Democrats, who are demanding accountability from the Trump administration, and Republicans trying to hide what the administration is up to.

Proud of my senator! "Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) published a letter he sent to CIA Director John Ratcliffe. Wyden is the longest-serving member of the Senate Intelligence Committee and is a careful, hardworking, and dogged member of Congress..."

Trump says Ilhan Omar 'probably had herself sprayed' in syringe attack President Trump lashed out at Rep. Ilhan Omar after learning she was attacked during a town hall, accusing her of staging the incident.

The current U.S. President lies about a member of Congress.

"I don't think about her. I think she's a fraud," Trump told ABC News in a phone interview. "She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her."

The shooter-murderer of Alex Pretti needs to be identified. We need to be able to follow the legal steps that government will take now, following the senseless murder.

States are "co-sovereigns" and Trump is acting as if he is KING. That was the point of the "NO KINGS" rallies.

So true. The agents who murdered Alex Pretti by shooting him in the back several times are not only not named but also may still be on the streets of Minneapolis, locked and loaded.
