Donald Trump has already broken laws and used violence in an attempt to overturn an election.

Now he’s setting the stage to try to overturn another one.

We cannot let that happen.

You better believe if the Biden administration had ever done something like this, Marco Rubio would’ve been screaming from the rooftops that it was an act of war

Even Fox News can't deny that Iowans are struggling with rising costs in Trump's economy.

One problem with advocating for censoring unwanted political content on TikTok is that you might get your way

I almost appreciate how Trump has exposed how vacant every single high profile conservative belief was: free speech, states’ rights, letting the market decide, NATO, the right to bear arms, democracy, all of it. It’s been an empty, malicious political project for decades and decades now

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a β€œsystem crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.

It’s Time to Talk About Donald Trump’s Logorrhea How many polite ways are there to ask whether the President of the United States is losing it?

Americans are more or less inured to Donald Trump’s incoherent ramblings and political theatre. After his speech in Davos, stunned Europeans are inclined to call his behavior what it is: out of control.

Make no mistake, he is justifying violence if he objects to the outcome of an election. Keep that in mind as we prepare for 2026.

β€œRiots Raging”: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of β€œPortland rioters” routinely instigating violence was misleading.

NEW: ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media.

The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

If you have to resort to gerrymandering and voter suppression to win elections, perhaps democracy isn't the form of government you're looking for.
