Our rights don’t come from God. They come from “We the People” through the Constitution we established ourselves. But we’ll gladly take the reminder that even Gorsuch seems to understand America is not — and was never intended to be — a Christian nation.

From the start of 2021 through the 2024 election, the FTC fielded about 960 complaints of immigration scams — like fake attorneys or people impersonating federal officers — per year. In 2025 alone, the agency received nearly 2,000 complaints.

"I feel that there's a need for accountability... by investigations and ultimately impeachment and removal of this criminal president. And, that's where I come in. As a lawyer who's litigated and conducted investigations for 3 decades here in New York, I think I have a special talent for that.

The Epstein case is so bad the government gave you a war, a new virus, and aliens to keep you distracted from it. Sit with that as long as you need.

Epstein managed/laundered $$ for Putin himself. He very likely had videos of Trump raping children. He hated Trump by the time he ran for president. He bragged to Steve Bannon he gave Putin advice on how to control Trump. I would bet Putin has videos of Trump raping children and Trump knows it.

Due to Tennessee’s abortion ban, Mayron Hollis was forced to continue a pregnancy that threatened her life. An emergency delivery left her without a uterus and her baby with medical issues. This was their first year in a post-Roe state (pub. Feb. 2024):

She Was Denied an Abortion After Roe Fell. This Is a Year in Her Family’s Life.
Tennessee law prohibits women from having abortions in nearly all circumstances. But once the babies are here, the state provides little help. We followed one family as they struggled to make it.

Why does the world allow genocides in places like Congo, Palestine, & Sudan? Racism. Why can the US instigate an illegal war in Iran with no real pushback? Racism. Why is ICE allowed to freely murder & brutalize people? Racism. Why can’t we truly progress as a society? Racism.

Ever wonder why most of the media provide wall-to-wall coverage of everything the far right does or says, while ignoring far bigger rallies and events and far more interesting discussions elsewhere on the political spectrum? There's no mystery. It's because they want the far right to triumph.

WATCH: In the first 7 months of Trump’s second term, authorities detained the parents of at least 11,000 U.S. citizen children — a number that, if the pace has held up, will have roughly doubled by now. That’s an average of more than 50 U.S. citizen kids a day with a parent pulled into detention.
