Something is deeply awry with a nation that can give a popular vote majority to a moral degenerate who did not hide his authoritarian plans. But we shouldn’t act as though public opinion hasn’t shifted since the 2024 election.
How Big Is MAGA, Really?

Mayor Frey: “What's become clear to me is this is obviously not about safety. This is not even about immigration. This is about silencing a narrative or a political position that differs from that of a federal administration.”

"When you were in Denmark, when you were at Davos, what were foreign leaders and diplomats and maybe even business leaders saying to you in private about that conversation?"

BREAKING:

A federal judge just ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from immigration custody — condemning their removal from Minneapolis as unconstitutional.

Judge Fred Biery condemned "the perfidious lust for unbridled power" and "the imposition of cruelty."

"I love the poorly educated," Trump declared in 2016. A decade later, MAGA has manifested that love into policy. They're purging scientists from govt; defunding R&D; and blocking the best & brightest from around the world from studying, teaching, working, or founding businesses in the United States.
