I hope that voters will make Joe Biden and the Democrats pay this fall for getting us into this costly war with Iran.

I'm seriously starting to question the credibility of the FIFA Peace Prize.

A great piece, Clint!

It is especially relevant at this moment not only for the reasons you mention but also because Dorothy Prevost, mother of one of the New Orleans Four, just passed away. We must remember this history!

The Trump Administration Can’t Kill Black History Month We don’t need permission from the government to commemorate a complex past.

Last week, my mother took me and my kids to see the school where, 60 years ago, she was among the first wave of Black students to integrate a previously all-White school. We wanted to remind my kids that Black history is not just famous people in textbooks, it is often the people right next to you.

Prior to 2015, if any candidate for elected office had begun a public statement or tweet with this sentence, he or she would have been laughed out of public life.

Now, Americans re-elect them as commander-in-chief. I will never allow myself to become numb to his insanity.

Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: β€œYou don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.” The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.

Unsurprisingly, AI detection sites suggest that portions of this statement may have been written with the assistance of AI.

Correction: All people who ICE agents could possibly think are non-citizens must wear the badges.

ICE will respond by requiring all non-citizens to wear special badges, perhaps in a unique shape and color so everyone can recognize who's who in the streets.

In MAGAland, bald-faced lying is just the default mode--one that Trump has so normalized that the media and the general public rarely even bothers to call Trumpsters on it.

The fact that a Democrat has never been head of the FBI in its entire history rivals the fact that liberals have not had a SCOTUS majority in 56 years as the most bonkers statistic in πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ politics

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

There's no better way to observe MLK Day than to go on the news and insist that the civil rights protesters objecting to police brutality are actually "paid agitators"

Three women on a raft move across a body of water in front of green, yellow, and brown mountains; white text announces the title of the book: THE WESTERNERS: MYTHMAKING AND BELONGING ON THE AMERICAN FRONTIER; a narrow strip at left bears four images: Jim Beckwourth, Sacajawea, Ovando Hollister, and Polly Bemis.

Blueskis, studies have shown that when folks see or hear about a book more than five times, they are likely to check it out, and buy it.

So in the spirit of creating buzz, here is the gorgeous cover of THE WESTERNERS, which will be published on March 31!

A sitting U.S. Senator just suggested that dropping a baseless criminal investigation could be exchanged for the resignation of the Fed Chair. The independence of the Federal Reserve exists precisely to prevent political intimidation like this. #holdfast

Ahead of 5-year anniversary of Jan. 6, report examines aftermath following Trump's return to office Ahead of the five-year anniversary of Jan. 6, House Democrats are examining the aftermath of the Capitol attack during the first year of President Trump's second term.

According to a new report, 33 of the January 6 rioters Trump pardoned on his first day in office have since been charged, arrested, or convicted of new crimes.

Trump is happy to put criminals back on our streets so long as they are loyal to him.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:
