News Analysis: On spending, oversight and other issues, Republican lawmakers have willingly ceded power traditionally reserved for Congress to President Trump.

Schumer must go!

This corruption of free speech is anchored in the rightwing spin that conflates being against Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing with anti-Semitism...being sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinian people is NOT being pro-Hamas.

The billionaire class really controls Universities through their contributions to their endowments and the management of the funds in these endowments.

The Trump administration is considering targeting the citizens of as many as 43 countries as part of a new ban on travel to the U.S. that would be broader than the restrictions imposed during President Trump’s first term, according to officials familiar with the matter.

Trump's decision to revive the McKinley name for Denali, North American's tallest mountain, is "a slap in the face of recent efforts to acknowledge America's history of colonialism and restore Indigenous place names," Cassidy Randall writes in a guest essay.

Does the NY Times know there was a march on Washington today 3/14/2025? Does the NY Times know that there were protest demonstrations prompted by Trump policies and actions all over the world?

Pelosi slams "false choice" on shutdown, indirectly criticizing Schumer

Elon Musk has signaled to President Trump’s advisers in recent days that he wants to put $100 million into groups controlled by the Trump political operation, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has repeatedly posted error-filled data, inflating its success. But after news reports called out those mistakes, the group obscured some details. Here are some errors the The New York Times was still able to detect. nyti.ms/3RbGujW

Anti-Zionist Jews finally screaming out!

Palestinian hostages confirm they were subjected to mistreatment and torture by Israeli forces during their captivity. "Israeli occupation troops urinated on us, beat us, and stripped us of our dignity," said Palestinians released from Israeli detention centers.

Legal case for Emergency Care to save women’s lives gets dropped.

Don’t look away

Trump wants to fire 83k VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, decimating the VA & making it harder for veterans to get health care & benefits. When Americans put their lives on the line to defend our country, we must keep our commitments to them — not betray them.
