Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.
He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.
We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it.
The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning.

Ukraine could’ve launched the attack on civilian population centers, like Russia does to them daily.
Instead, they chose a strictly military target - the very bombers being used to kill Ukrainian civilians.
A brilliant operation solely designed to defend their own people.

It’s odd to me that “we need to restore Christian values to Europe” is not coded as anti-Semitic even though it is, quite literally, anti-semitism’s original form.

The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.
