Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Having a hard time keeping up with things in your daily life?

World outside seems upside down?

No longer enjoying the same things you once did?

Future feels dark and scary?

You may be experiencing fascism. Fortunately, there’s a cure!

Federal employees across the government reported seeing similar messages. Experts say the messages may violate ethics laws meant to keep partisan politics out of day-to-day governing.

NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign.

"If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."

Our generation has been through so many active shooter drills and swatting incidents that young people weren't even phased when evacuating the mass shooting in Grand Blanc, Michigan.

We don't have to live like this. Our lawmakers need to put our safety ahead of the gun lobby.

After canceling an earlier meeting, President Trump is planning to meet with a bipartisan group of congressional leaders on Monday. Congress must pass or extend a spending bill before Oct. 1 to prevent a shutdown.

Governor Pritzker, thank you for monitoring the horrific events unfolding at the Broadview ICE facility. Do whatever you can to protect people's right to protest, to observe, and to live!
By observing and recording peacefully, we can ensure that any violations of the law are brought to light and those responsible are held accountable.

At 8:35 pm last night, ICE and Border Patrol took their violence against protestors to another level. They attacked everyone, including members of the media.

This is an assault on our civil rights. This is an assault on what it means to be American.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
