Rodrick Johnson — an American citizen — had his door smashed in by FBI agents, zip-tied, and stuffed into a van. No warrant. No lawyer. He did nothing wrong. We were told Trump's ICE would only go after “violent criminals.” Now it’s anyone. This is EXACTLY what we feared.

I don’t even know what language we use for this anymore. This has gone far beyond fascism at this point. Is this Nazi, is the Soviet? Is this a coup? It’s clearly an attempt to institute one party rule in America, and suspend our Constitution. It’s also a thinly veiled call for

Trump’s efforts to militarize ICE & send federalized Nat'l Guard troops onto American streets, firing government employees during the shutdown, it's all part of Project 2025, which he disavowed all knowledge of during the campaign because it was so unpopular.

This kind of rhetoric is incredibly dangerous for the judge. Miller constantly deploys deranged rhetoric, even as he claims the left incites violence with its own language. If Miller believes that rhetoric can lead to violence, then he knows exactly what he is doing.

Political scientist Barbara F. Walter, author of “How Civil Wars Start and How to Stop Them”, says the U.S. now shows all the signs of democratic collapse—and warns Trump could exploit “fake emergencies” to end democracy unless citizens stand up peacefully.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.

Mike Lee If it is poisoned, where is the republican plan that is so much better? You know, the one tRump promised us would be here in 'two weeks' in 2018? That's the longest two weeks I've ever spent. Wish vacation time worked like that.

Donald Trump said he was going to release his healthcare plan to replace the Affordable Care Act in “two weeks,” 159 weeks ago. Republicans’ only plan for your healthcare is to cut it.

A Point of View: Potential Reasons Why Mr. Trump Didn't Win the Nobel Prize If Mr. Trump hoped to win the Nobel Peace Prize, he might have more carefully reviewed the values espoused by the Nobel Committee: humility, cooperative leadership, nonviolence, and the promotion of

"To bring a democracy under authoritarian control, you need more than a strongman. You need politicians who will assure the public, as we slide toward one-man rule, that nothing odd is happening. That’s the role Johnson is playing in Trump’s takeover." thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mike…

The Washington Post This isn’t just a procedural dispute; it’s a constitutional flashpoint. The press serves as a watchdog over government power, and the Pentagon’s attempt to curtail that role raises alarms about transparency, accountability, and democratic resilience.

While I am often critical of the actions of the Trump Administration, I don’t want to remain silent when things go well. It is so good to see things moving in a better direction in Israel and Gaza. To my understanding Mr. Trump, Mr. Kushner, and members of his administration made

Remember all those DOGE savings? Well, there aren’t any. Despite the DOGE head's budget-slashing fantasies, the WSJ found that Musk presided over a $220 billion increase in federal spending, and Trump will add $3.4 trillion to the federal debt. l.smartnews.com/p-6olGF4Bi/pAV…
