Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. We must keep fighting in 2026 and beyond.

Kyiv was hit with 500 drones and 40 missiles. Civilians died.
Trump’s response? Understanding Putin’s inconvenience.
This isn’t diplomacy. It’s a bromance—paid for in Ukrainian lives.

The Missiles Fall. The Bromance Endures.
As Russian drones and missiles tore into Kyiv, Donald Trump found time not for outrage—but for understanding Vladimir Putin.

Yes, support for conservative ideology has always been about racism, as Thaddeus Stevens and Abraham Lincoln agreed about the founding of the GOP
It's the racism. People bristle at that fact but it's been true since day 1 of Trump, and if we're honest, support for pretty much any conservative ideology has been inseparable from racism for...ever? It may cloak in tax policy and morality on occasion out of convenience, but it's core is racism.

The U.S. is in an unprecedented crisis.

A convicted criminal holds the office of the presidency (unconstitutionally, I might add) and is being abetted by a corrupt and broken SCOTUS and GOP Congress.

Our constitution has no mechanism to repair it.

It must be amended.

The Trump-Republican “Big Beautiful Bill” is actually a “Big Ugly Nightmare.”

Much of what’s included in it will begin in 2026.

This is what we need to see from every person whose name has come up in the files demand that they all be released.
NEWS: Bill Clinton is demanding full transparency from the Trump DOJ on the Epstein files.

Clinton’s spokesman says the DOJ’s selective release suggests someone is being protected.

He calls on Trump to direct Bondi to immediately release all remaining materials referencing Clinton.

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas.

Remember: these are people who entered the country legally.

Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

DOGE will go down as an epic and disastrous fiasco.
On DOGE’s watch, federal spending did not go down at all. It went up. But is still led to cuts that closed offices, canceled programs and deprived people of food, medicine and other aid.

Man, this is a real shocker, but it almost seems like she doesn't remotely know what the fuck she's doing and has no right being in this important role?
NYT shows how Bari Weiss really screwed this up.

She didn't attend any of the 5 screenings of the story, which began on Dec. 12.

She only first weighed in on Thursday, and the show incorporated her suggestions.

She then waited until weekend to ask for more edits.

20 State AGs have sued Russell Vought for trying to starve the CFPB of funding.

Since 2011, the CFPB has returned over $20B to consumers.
