Denmark has always had our back. They fought and died for us when we asked for help. It's time for us to see who the real leaders are- those who speak up!

Kristi Noem must resign. With her at the top, DHS has become militarized and unlawful. Instead of removing the "worst of the worst", ICE is harassing, attacking, and killing U.S. citizens. If she won't resign, she should be impeached.

It’s time for the House to follow the Senate and pass a war powers resolution. The American people do not want a war with Venezuela.

Trump's desire to seize Greenland has nothing to do with national security and everything to do with his vanity. Just like his ballroom, Trump wants Greenland as part of his legacy. But we Americans don't need a Trumpland. Stop this nonsense now.

Trump is in a dangerous stand off with both Russia and NATO at the same time as part of his bold "World War 3" Peace Prize Agenda.

Ukraine is grateful for all of the allies, friends, and volunteers supporting us through these dark times. One such person is Kareem from the USA who, with the help of his parents, organized a donation of more than 100 laptops and phones for Ukrainian children.

As we approach the anniversary of Jan. 6, we can’t forget—a sitting president tried to subvert the results of a free and fair election and cheered on a violent mob to attack our Capitol.
