"The idea is that a distinct natl identity emerged sometime between the early colonial period & mid-19th century & this identity, preserved through bloodlines, deserves special privilege today. One far-right writer said: β€œHeritage American is more palatable to the public than β€˜white.’”

"Historians may well mark February 28, 2026 as an important turning point -- the day that the modern era of Congressional oversight aimed at checking executive branch overreach in foreign affairs ended."

Share of election spending by billionaires before Citizens United: 0.3%

Share of election spending by billionaires in 2024: 19%

It is not a coincidence that we're about to get our first trillionaire while working people struggle to afford rent, groceries, and healthcare.

You know what finally broke my ex from supporting the orange demon? Was it the long line of crap he has done and the lives killed? Nope. Iran? Nope. It was the freaking firing of Kristy Noem. Had a serious crush on Kristy and lost it because of that. Is now out as a Trump supporter. Like WTF🀑

Speaker Johnson could call the House back and vote to fund TSA today.

Let’s be clear: long lines at the airports are a direct result of Republicans insisting ICE be able to defy court orders, kidnap and murder people and face zero consequences.

Remind me how much we spent, and how many lives were lost, ousting the Taliban in Afghanistan so that, years later, the Taliban could control Afghanistan.

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

Did you know that tomorrow, March 10th marks the National Day of Rest for Black Women, a day created to center rest, reflection, and renewal? It's also the anniversary of Harriet Tubman’s passing, honoring her powerful legacy of courage, resistance, and liberation.

New footage yet again contradicts DHS claims about its killing of a US citizen Body camera video obtained by CBS News in the Ruben Ray Martinez case is another example of the administration misrepresenting lethal action from immigration agents.

I never thought I would have to make a shirt that says this but here we are and here's the shirt. I saw a similar one a few weeks ago so I wanted to make a version myself.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Congress Is Betraying America's Founders by Ceding Power to Trump The Constitution gives Congress the power to check the president. Lawmakers have punted on their duty since Donald Trump retook office.

"The modern executive branch is a creature made monstrous by what George Washington called β€œunprincipled men.” The Framers had another name for them: Congress."

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

This is incredible work -- and so useful. @propublica.org is providing this data to journalists (and others) who may not have the resources to gather it on their own.
