Trump administration subpoenaing Arizona 2020 voting records, as Trump pushes to consolidate election power The administration has also obtained records from Fulton County, Georgia, as Trump continues to focus on the 2020 election he lost.

Another alarm bell in this five alarm fire.

Donald Trump is still trying to relitigate the 2020 election six years later.

He wants to scare election officials and election workers ahead of the midterms.

And he’s using the FBI to do it.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

This new Lancet study would indicate that the death toll in Gaza is actually around 120,000 at minimum, if the undercount rate is similar since January 2025.

Protect Medicaid access for people with ME/CFS and Long COVID

Congress has mandated that Medicaid recipients work 80 hours a month unless they can prove they are β€œmedically frail,” or risk losing their Medicaid. Attempting to meet an 80‑hour work requirement for most people with ME/CFS and Long COVID will only worsen their illness, and may cause permanent harm.
Before states start enforcing these new work rules, the HHS Secretary must issue guidance that will shape how states decide who counts as "medically frail." Join us in demanding that people with ME/CFS and Long COVID are fully protected. Please sign the petition today!

Younger kid's whole middle school walked out today in solidarity with Minnesota. Apparently there were 13 year olds getting up and making impromptu speeches. They didn't prep a chant in advance, so they settled on "F*ck ICE"

A fantastic flick, our theater was sold out and erupted in applause and cheers at the end of the show. Melania is a wonderful human, a class act and America is blessed she is once again our First Lady. This behind the scenes sneak peek was so well done and such a wonderful watch. A must see.

The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization.

This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s β€œpushing boundaries” or β€œtesting the limits of his authority”

He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.
