Bringing light to the darkness of American politics.
Apparently, the Trump administration has a new strategy for weeding out the gay Nazis and LGBT Klansmen in its ranks.

Things President Trump has “completely and totally obliterated”:

Presumably, Congressional Republicans will demand a vote for an Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) against these drug cartels.

In 2010, a special prosecutor could not prove the Bush administration fired U.S. Attorney David Iglesias for refusing to prosecute cases it wanted charged.

In 2025, President Trump confessed to doing just that to U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert. #Comey

The Trump administration is using the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk as its own #ReichstagFire.

The unprecedented extortion of broadcast networks, the dangerous targeting of opposition voices and the lawless crackdown on liberal groups only requires a simple cut and paste from the original German.

Perhaps "50 eyes for an eye" is not how #Israel will win friends and influence people.

First Iran and now Qatar. For the second time in three months, Israel launched a strike to derail U.S.-led negotiations already in progress.

Not a good look for #Trump and his #NobelPeacePrize crusade.

History is replete with dominant global powers who over time lost their position of leadership. The United States appears to be the first to unilaterally surrender.

There is no evidence that Donald Trump paid Russian hookers to urinate on him in a Moscow hotel room in 2013. But a new report from the nonpartisan CBO confirms that Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" takes from the poor to give golden showers to the rich.
