"When the dust settles, many of the legal system’s rules may be mere memories — thanks in part to powerful people who failed to stand up when it mattered."

The so-called Defense Secretary has ordered 400 books removed from the Naval Academy library. This outrageous ban includes works about Slavery and the Holocaust, but not a book written by Adolf Hitler. The effort to whitewash our history must be reversed and Pete Hegseth fired IMMEDIATELY.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

My God. ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseat—and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back. How many more? THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.

I don’t care how much money Musk throws at this race - it doesn’t change who Brad Schimel is. As AG, there were over 6,000 rape kits that went untested. He tested less than 10. That’s 6,000 rapists walking free in WI. WI you deserve better. #VoteSusanCrawford for Supreme Court — April 1st

Because of Brad Schimel, rape victims waited years for justice while thousands of untested rape kits sat on shelves. Schimel didn't keep us safe then, and he won't on the Supreme Court.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

The ideological glue that holds Trump 2.0 together is literally just outright theft. Whether it’s taking Ukraine’s minerals, Elon stealing multi billion $ contracts or Trump forcing taxpayers to backstop crypto billionaires bags.
