The court's Republican-appointed justices appear ready to eliminate most pockets of expertise and nonpartisanship on which the country relies as stewards of important economic, political, scientific, and regulatory power.
SCOTUS's GOP justices are about to hand Trump way more power
The court's right-wing bloc sounds ready to axe independent federal agencies—and the precedents that guard them.

Two National Guardsmen, who should have been at home with their families for Thanksgiving, were shot today during a stunt deployment that served no legitimate purpose. Trump's reckless actions needlessly put these troops in harm's way. Their blood is on his hands.

KYUK is the only public radio station in remote Alaska that regularly broadcasts in the Yugtun language, providing a crucial lifeline to the Indigenous communities in the area.

After Congress slashed its budget, the station isn't sure how it'll survive.

Every day I feel hyperaware we are living in an even more blatant dual state

The dual state describes a society divided into a normal state, which operates according to set rules & laws, & a “prerogative state”, "which exercises unlimited arbitrariness & violence unchecked by any legal guarantees”

Just a reminder, the coward who refused to accept an election loss in 2020 and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election will certainly cheat, abuse his powers, and break the law to try to win the 2026 & 2028 elections.

He’s a real threat to democracy. Believe it.
