We must state this clearly.

Our lawless regime is building a system of "human warehouses" that will function as concentration camps.

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

Has anyone heard news reports refer, accurately, to the ending of tariffs as a tax cut for consumers? How about describing the net effect of tax cuts for the rich and tariffs as a massive shift in the tax burden from the rich to the rest of us?

The USAID budget was $34 billion and it saved 90 million lives over the last 20 years.

A man claims his grandmother in Colombia—a former housekeeper at Epstein’s Manhattan home—kept hidden memory cards, photos, and tapes when she was fired. He says it includes child abuse evidence, and both ABC and Fox refused to release it. If true, she may be holding what investigators searched for.

ICE shot and killed a 23 year old American with no criminal record in Texas last March. Their involvement was hidden until now: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

Tax billionaires out of existence.

Why does your second graph omit JKT who has 9% in the first graph?

Trump is repeatedly saying he was exonerated by the Epstein Files, Democrats need more posts like this to force the media to cover the really disturbing allegations against Trump.

“She has a message for other tourists considering a trip to America:

“‘Don’t go – not with Trump in charge. It’s totally out of control over there. There’s no accountability. They don’t seem to need a reason for detaining you.’”

I’m old enough to remember when Republican politicians used to keep tiny copies of the constitution in their pocket and pull them out all the time to performative show how important they thought it was. Now they claim it is too inconvenient.
