We are facing a psychiatric emergency. We are facing a constitutional emergency. Anyone with eyes and ears who’s paying attention can see it. Our republic is teetering. The good news: We the people have the power to stop this accelerating descent before it’s too late.

Hispanic New Yorkers give our city its flavor, sound, & style. Where else do you hear Mixtec & Quechua on the same train? Smell chaufa & champurrado on the same block? See a Dominican barber give a Venezuelan kid a fade, a life lesson, & a new accent in one visit? Last night, we celebrated it all.

Collectively, the cases we’ve documented show that as the administration has relentlessly pursued immigrants, it has run roughshod over the constitutional rights of citizens, too, and on a scale not seen in generations. Read our full story:

The government doesn’t track how often immigration officers detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve found more than 500 Americans who were held against their will during this Trump…

This is why “Pro-Life” activists are forced to rely on vague bits of scripture to justify why the Bible condemns abortion. A popular one is “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Yeah, He knew all those people in the womb that He drowned too.

FUN FACT: The Bible doesn't say *anything* about abortion. Ever. Well, except for the time God provides a handy recipe for a magic potion to induce an involuntary one. Numbers 5:11-31

Media should be talking how Trump is mentally unfit and should be removed from office by way of the 25th Amendment. But the corporate media refuses to do that because they either support Trump or fear Trump.

The power of the purse is Congress’s strongest check on the president. If a president can both spend money Congress refused to give him and refuse to spend money Congress ordered him to spend, Congress no longer has the spending power.

Your electric bill is up as much as 30%. PG&E's CEO took home $63.6 MILLION. Duke's CEO took home $51.2 MILLION. And both companies paid NEGATIVE federal tax rates. That's not a coincidence. That's a rigged system. Tax the rich.

Hegseth belongs in jail. He's a war criminal. And by giving third-rate universities like "Liberty," a private evangelical university, priority in officer commissioning over schools like MIT, he's gonna fill the upper ranks with weak, ignorant, evangelical zealots. That means more war crimes.
