Rep. Jamie Raskin’s investigation revealed that 23 of the top 25 buyers who bought VIP access to Trump through his crypto scheme were likely foreign nationals. The regime wants to hide this. Help us expose the truth: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/we-investi...

The only explanation for the U.S. government lifting sanctions on the russian terrorist state is Trump works for Putin. Americans may care to know why, but it is undeniable Trump is a traitor.

In my darkest moments, I fear that this is how democracy dies. Not with a secret conspiracy conducted in the middle of the night. But with a brazen confession made public in the light of day. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...

There are no two sides to a confession
Over the years, I have watched the Republican Party morph into a crime family that boasts about rigging elections.

ICYMI - Dems flipped a seat in Tarrant County and Republicans called an emergency meeting. Trump carried the district by 17 points in 2024, so if Texas Republicans are in panic mode there, the entire state is in play.
