Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?

One year after Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," millions have lost food assistance and healthcare while billionaires pocket massive tax cuts. The bigger question is: why? hartmannreport.com/p/why-are-tr...

Saturday Report 7/11/26 — Trump refuses to sign the biggest housing bill in a generation, ICE shoots the wrong man in Houston, and the referees of our elections get purged... hartmannreport.com/p/saturday-r...

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

ICE agents weren't wearing body cameras when they killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. The three men who were with him are reportedly being detained separately and getting pressured to self-deport — while refuting ICE’s story. What is ICE trying to cover up?

This is what governing on behalf of the people looks like. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

History shows that police states aren't declared: they're assembled piece by piece, until one day ordinary people realize the freedoms they once took for granted have quietly disappeared… hartmannreport.com/p/police-sta...

The sheer injustice in Houston is sickening. Lorenzo was just going to work to support his family when his life was stolen by ICE. Seeing his father on his knees, consumed by raw, agonizing grief, is a heartbreaking reminder of the human cost of systemic violence. He deserves justice.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.
