President Trump apparently thinks it's time to throw a lavish party for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who will host a U.S.-Saudi investment summit the next day

The Trump Organization is currently working on Trump Tower Jeddah and has plans for a property in Riyadh. trib.al/3ZsaEMm

Conservation matters.

So does…
- fair treatment of immigrants
- convicting pedophiles and those who enable them
- ensuring access to healthcare and food for all people
- holding traitors and con-artists accountable

We do not have kings.
We have rights.
We will #Resist.

The Epstein emails didn't expose a nostalgic "lost New York" so much as the utter moral rot of a U.S. ruling patriarchy that could never get enough money...or teenaged girls

NEW: The Trump administration’s slickly produced videos of an immigration raid at a Chicago apartment building in September showed federal agents rappelling from a helicopter and banging down doors.

These are the stories of the people who were inside.

A pro-voting group sued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, accusing him of scheming to suppress the rapidly-growing power of the state’s Latino voters. If Paxton prevails, it could reshape the landscape for organizations working to expand voter turnout.

Trump's lame duck era is being defined by failures on affordability, overreach, and political weakness.

His approvals are tanking, he weighed down the GOP in the 2025 elections, and fractures are deepening within the MAGA coalition.

The GOP is looking weak heading into 2026.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

This coming week, Trump will host Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi leader who approved the murder and dismemberment of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Not coincidentally, the Saudis are working on a new business deal with the Trump Organization.

According to a new analysis by Democrats on the Joint Economic Committee, the average American family has paid more than $700 in higher costs per month since Trump took office.

Remember when Trump said he would end inflation on "day one"?

I’m thinking the Dems need to run on nothing less than remaking American democracy.

End Citizens United, totally reform the corrupt and broken SCOTUS, a new voting rights act, ban gerrymandering everywhere.

And give Trump figures who broke the law fair trials, and ban them from federal jobs.

Aurora, Colorado, saw a political shift as progressive candidates won city council seats, ousting conservative incumbents who focused on anti-immigrant rhetoric.

The election results reflect a broader national trend of Democratic gains.
Trump said gangs invaded this city. Voters booted the officials who agreed.
Liberals who won in Aurora, Colorado, say voters were focused on affordability, trash and other local issues.

It's absolutely shameless how Fox News hosts help launder Trump's lies, as illustrated by this 55 second clip. I have no idea how they can live with themselves since they are smart enough to know what they're doing.
