President Trump just fired almost the entire staff of the CFPB, who protect you from getting scammed by Wall Street. This is another assault on consumers and our democracy by Trump's lawless Administration. We will fight back with everything we've got.

It’s horrific that there are students who lived through Parkland and are now going through a second school shooting at FSU. The government has failed our children. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Mark my words, Reform UK will gain power in the coming years. The UK is on the same fascist path with Starmer leading the liberal establishment in Britain to oblivion.

Trump’s sputtering response to Harvard standing up to him is yet another reason why institutions should refuse to bend the knee. He’s a paper tiger, unable to argue his own case.

Trump signed an executive order that will delay Medicare price negotiations for a range of prescription drugs. This will raise the price of life-saving medicine for millions of seniors and cost taxpayers money. It's a big win for Big Pharma. A "new Golden Age" for whom?

El Salvador refuses to let Democratic senator visit or speak with Kilmar Abrego Garcia: ‘We have an unjust situation here’

Photos from the prison in El Salvador almost tempt one to believe in humanitarian military intervention. It's not just that this one guy shouldn't be there or even that we shouldn't ship anyone there -- it's a daily standing crime against humanity. The world should not tolerate its existence at all.

The UK Supreme Court endorsed segregating trans people entirely out of public life. They can exclude trans women from single sex spaces on the basis of sex and then exclude trans men on the basis of gender reassignment. Effectively, it allows the legal exclusion of trans people from public life.

Oh. "This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“

Extremely devastating news for transgender people in the United Kingdom. So much of what we face in the United States has shared roots in that country, and this Supreme Court decision there will make people far less free. Crackdowns on trans people are international, not limited to borders.

First, it was dangerous criminals, then it was illegals, now it's legal residents, and they are already talking about naturalized citizens. Next it will be every last one of us. Which is why we have to fight for everyone before us.

Trump suggests stripping Harvard's 501(c)3 status as political retribution for standing up to him. It will not stop with Harvard, the goal is to do this to all civil society organizations that oppose him, including orgs like the ACLU. He's trying to destroy all political opposition.
