To think they roared about Hunter Biden’s laptop and Hillary Clinton’s emails. It’s beyond hypocrisy. Exaggerating the missteps of those they disagree with while flaunting the law when one of them benefits.

This news should horrify everyone. Escaped? Disappeared? Surely if they escaped, their families might hear from them. Sounds more like disappeared.

Voter suppression efforts coupled with extreme gerrymandering are gutting our representational democracy.

Harry Enten: "If Donald Trump's idea was to give Jimmy Kimmel more press and more viewership, he absolutely did so"

Another word for that is kidnapping.

Seems bad for our society when you can’t make racist terrorists the villains

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

Just a reminder that the fear of being disappeared to a gulag has people running for their lives and getting killed in the process.

The story here is increasingly about the right’s reaction — the incitement, the calls for war, the effort to use this terrible incident to neuter opposition. This should be seen in the context of authoritarian regimes worldwide and their efforts to exploit acts of political violence to consolidate.

President Trump is brutality honest by admitting he approves of violent radicalism on the right but views left wing activists as a problem. Such incendiary statements from a President can kick-off vigilante violence against liberals and progressives as well as anyone who appears to be a minority.

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Trump Says Having ‘a Little Fight With the Wife’ Should Not Count as a Crime (If someone is sufficiently concerned to call the police when someone has “a little fight with the wife” then a crime might be occurring. His remark is a dog whistle for domestic violence.) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/u...

Does he not understand that “War on Drugs” was a slogan, like “War on Poverty” and “War on Cancer.” Since he has slashed funding for poor people and cancer research, maybe he misunderstands those, too.

Did you know in 1890 manufacturing employees worked on average 100 hours a week? It would be decades before the eight-hour workday became real. It took labor activists and labor unions to turn the cry for change into policy and practice. www.americaamerica.news/p/a-labor-da...

Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.

Open market for selling kidneys! How would he recommend pricing them? Or would he have kidney auctions? Maybe a tv game show “America’s Got Kidneys.”

Seems like the kind of thing federal agents could handle if they weren’t busy tracking down America’s most wanted DoorDash delivery drivers in DC.

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

Yep…even in my wildest dreams I never imagined these miscreants would wreck so much havoc.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

An estimated 218,000 people in the U.S. are stateless or are at risk of becoming so. As a result of President Trump's aggressive policies, people without any citizenship are more vulnerable than ever.
