Limiting refugee admissions to 17,500 and specifically carving out slots mostly for "white South Africans" is blatant, state-sanctioned discrimination. Our refugee program is for those fleeing war, not a tool for racial filtering 🛑 abcnews.com/US/wireStory...

Trump is threatening to deploy federal law enforcement to voting sites for the midterms. If your campaign strategy requires heavily armed feds at polling places, you’re not running an election, you’re running a regime 🗳️

Federal district court judges like Indira Talwani — who effectively stopped Trump's plan to use the US Postal Service to restrict mail-in voting — deserve the gratitude and appreciation of all Americans. They are holding the line against the authoritarian bullies who threaten our freedoms.

Republicans are in full panic mode. Trump spent his Dallas convention calling Democrats "communists" because he has zero plans for the middle class. We see right through the distraction. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/12/u...

Republicans, Facing Midterm Peril, Try to Brand Democrats as Communists
Communism, in the president’s hyperbolic telling, is a graver threat to the country than the Pearl Harbor or 9/11 attacks were. Whether this midterm strategy works is an open question.

I am old enough to remember Richard Nixon. What he did was criminal, but basically more stupid than anything. He didn't hurt American citizens. He was just paranoid. Compare to Trumpy who has cost everyone so much, it's not even a fair comparison. Trumpy makes billions while all of us suffer.
