We’ve heard plenty about what Trump, Musk and their marauding henchmen want to destroy. But have you heard anything about what they want to build or in any way make lives better?

It’s not just that the buy-out won’t be honored; it can’t be honored. They have neither authority nor appropriations to honor the promise. “Fraud in the inducement.”

The faster Trump lies and runs from the truth of the tragic crash, the more good and responsible people must investigate the truth and speak out.

If these Republicans advance RFK Jr., they're not just rolling the dice on a reckless nominee, they are telling the country they believe it's more important to appease Donald Trump than ensure Americans' health. Confirming this anti-vaxxer is not just about politics--it's a life-and-death decision.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

A “fresh look” means no look at all at Trump’s coming abuses of power. Who needs ethics or the rule of law, right Mike?

With Dhillon running the DOJ’s civil rights division, it’s a clear indicator that Trump plans to purge the department of career voting attorneys and use it to roll back voting rights, instead of enforcing them. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A 15-year-old opened fire at Abundant Life Christian School. A month later, a 17-year-old killed a classmate at Antioch High School. According to researchers, both were active in the same online networks that glorify mass shooters. By @phoebepetrovic.bsky.social, w/ @wisconsinwatch.bsky.social
