I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

Walz: If trade is so bad with Canada. He was the guy who signed the deal. I think this is how he ran business.The one thing is his claim that he's the business president. He is the worst possible business executive that I have ever witnessed

Trump eases rules on military raids and airstrikes, expanding range of who can be targeted

“You’re terminated because…?”
Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside.
DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

Trump-Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Unnerving Turn With Vile Leaked Memo
Can Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?

I’m sure most Senators understand the danger in confirming RFK Jr.
But here's the thing: conscience is a muscle. Courage is a muscle. The less you use them, the more they fade away.
If you do not draw a line somewhere, you will cross every line you could ever imagine.
