Moses Mike is such a jerk.

Fear Will Not Win In the shadows of threats and lies, we rise together and refuse to be silenced.

America was never meant to be quiet. It was never meant to be obedient. It was never meant to sort its people into us and them.

Governor Wes Moore on Trump's Failed Leadership In my interview with Maryland Governor Wes Moore, we cut through Trump’s chaos to talk about real leadership, foreign policy, and how to govern with competence and moral clarity.

As NATO faces real threats and Americans struggle with rising costs, Trump responds with lies, propaganda, and chaos. Governor Wes Moore, meanwhile, shows us what true leadership looks like in our latest interview.

District Attorney:

Breaking from the Office of Pres. Obama:

"Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

David Shulkin, former secretary of Veterans Affairs, explains how Republican cuts to rural hospitals and Medicaid will shift the burden of care to the VA, which is also struggling with cuts.

Trump's DOJ are planning to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell and her lawyers. She's currently serving 20 years in federal prison for her role in Epstein's sex trafficking operation. They claim it's out of transparency, but I have to assume it's to discuss a pardon and keep her quiet.

They dedicated the open letter to a list of 17 individuals -- the astronauts who perished in the Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia missions.

Epstein’s Brother: ‘Trump Is Trying to Cover His Butt’ Mark Epstein spoke out against the president in an interview with CNN.

Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark has spilled on the close relationship between the disgraced financier and Donald Trump despite the president’s repeated dismissal.

Israel is starving Gaza and shooting into crowds of desperate, hungry people on a daily basis. Children are dying of hunger on a daily basis. It's a moral atrocity and it's all funded by American dollars.

Guadalupe River flood: How to help and how to find help Several groups have mobilized to offer assistance to people affected by the Guadalupe River floods.

You live in a country that is establishing concentration camps & soon will be stripping citizens of their papers.

Noem wants to hunt down people who warn others about nearby ICE agents Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is coming after the people who dare lend a helping hand to immigrants.� Noem shared a CNN segment to X on Tuesday that showed an up-and-coming app designed ...

Sometimes there's no other word but the C-word.

My God. Please make sure everyone you know knows this.

Dr. Coni: One patient had been receiving treatment with eye drops, but then I didn’t see her for months.. I wondered what had happened to her.

When she finally returned, she told me she had lost her Medicaid coverage and couldn’t afford her drops. As a result, she had gone blind in one eye.

Going forward, we will refer to “Alligator Alcatraz” as Alligator Auschwitz.

The similarities to Nazi Germany are growing by the day, and the concentration camp they’ve built is a horrifying escalation bringing us even closer to that reality.

Today, Trump’s fascist regime:
1. Passed a bill that steals our money to enrich billionaires, strips people of food and healthcare, and provides billions of dollars to ICE.
2. Opened a concentration camp in Florida named “Alligator Alcatraz”.
3. Shared intentions to denaturalize and deport citizens.

America’s Generals are terrified. They are cowed. They seem unlikely to hold the line and live up to their oaths to serve the U.S. Constitution. Trump violated the law (the Hatch Act) conducting a political rally at Fort Bragg, rousing the troops to cheer his slogans but the Generals stay silent.

My God that poor child screaming while her family is taken. My God.

The violence of this.

Visibility may be clearer than expected there. Proceed with caution: this storm is unstable and fast-moving. Eyes to the sky, other regions may see sudden drops in temperature. Stay unpredictable.

Conditions are shifting. Expect icy fronts to spread well beyond Los Angeles by tomorrow. Initial efforts aimed to freeze traffic and attention in LA, but local crews appear to have salted the roads early.

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens.

Not a surprise at all.

The most important story of our time is not what Donald Trump wants to do, but what the people of this country allow him to do.

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
