Russia isn’t going to agree to a peace deal in good faith. Even if it signs one, it would likely resume attacks soon after, shifting to hybrid tactics or blaming Ukraine for a ceasefire violation Putin ordered, while Trump declares “peace” that doesn’t actually exist.

No FEMA buyouts have been approved under the current administration for North Carolina homes left unlivable after Hurricane Helene. Families are stuck paying mortgages on houses they can’t live in, with foreclosure looming. (WaPo)

A new ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia has been reached, freezing troop positions and halting hostilities immediately. Unlike the last deal that fell apart, this one was direct and not brokered by the U.S.

Russia is freezing civilians by cutting heat and electricity in winter. The Soviet state under Stalin used the same tactic... cold and deprivation as weapons against civilians.

Jennifer Welch said the GOP trains people to resent anyone who needs help, while billionaires loot the country and call themselves “job creators.” The real parasites aren’t the poor, they’re the ultra-wealthy.

So now exercising your First Amendment rights gets you labeled a domestic terrorist. This is straight-up fascism, and it won’t stop here. It eventually expands to include almost anything the administration doesn’t approve of.

It doesn’t get clearer than this. Trump is admitting he’ll release files that target opponents while blocking anything that implicates himself or allies. That’s a direct abuse of power, and a violation of the law in broad daylight.

Shutting down FBI headquarters isn’t reform, it’s sabotage. It disrupts investigations, forces out career staff, and intimidates anyone who might hold power accountable. This is about control, not public safety.

The admin first said the ISIS strikes yesterday were coordinated with Nigeria. Now Nigerian officials say they’re not even sure who the U.S. actually targeted. Someone is lying.

U.S. researchers believe Russia is stationing new nuclear-capable hypersonic ballistic missiles in eastern Belarus. That move would extend Moscow’s strike reach deeper into Europe and sharply raise escalation risks.

It’s a cult. Pure Jim Jones territory: fear, urgency, and loyalty tests to squeeze money out of followers. And now the leader is panicking, because he’s losing his grip and reality is starting to break through.

This isn’t just about immigration enforcement. Expanding surveillance while weakening data protections means the dragnet gets wider, and once the tools exist, they rarely stay limited to one group.

I get it. Many blue-collar workers work hard, come home, and watch Fox News. They support who their dad supported, not realizing it’s not the same party anymore. That’s why real facts have to reach people where they are, including the workplace.

Trump attended and praised multiple Epstein-hosted parties, and he’s been seen doing so on video. This is classic deflection, when someone tries to draw attention away from themselves by pointing the finger at others.

The US has confirmed strikes on 'ISIS-linked terrorists' in Nigeria. The country also happens to be rich in oil and natural gas, a detail that always seems to sit quietly in the background of these interventions.
