People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

CDC leaders who resigned said RFK Jr. undermined vaccine science, risking lives As the CDC reels from departures, the White House appoints Jim O’Neill as acting director.

Political parties have control over the terms of primary elections.

The DNC has the power to ban Super PAC spending.

If Democrats really want to become the party of working people and fight the forces that brought us Trump, they must disavow Big Money.
