If the republic survives this era, history will record the Trump presidency as the most corrupt, reckless, incompetent, and damaging in American history. Every new scandal reveals that the bottom is always lower than we thought.

When Joe Biden took office, America’s allies were willing to treat the first Trump term as an aberration. That ship has sailed. The world is no longer waiting for us to come to our senses, and the trust we squandered may take a generation to rebuild if anyone still believes we are capable of it.

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but a Russian oligarch bankrolling the wedding of the president’s son is the kind of story that should dominate headlines in any functioning political culture.

You know who actually did show up at Ground Zero? Canadian emergency rescue crews.

When you block the promotion of our top naval officers because they don't fit your preferred demographic, you’re not defending the country. You’re betraying the values that define it.

Welcome to Donald Trump’s America where parents sit in plastic chairs with needles in their arms just to buy baby formula.

A standing reminder: a small handful of Republicans in Congress could stop this chaos tomorrow. They simply choose not to.

If the United States Constitution doesn’t protect you from a federal agent shooting you in the face for the “crime” of turning your car around, it doesn’t exist. ICE has become a paramilitary force with zero oversight and a Secretary in Kristi Noem who encourages the chaos. ENOUGH.

Don’t forget that every member of the Senate who voted to confirm Pete Hegseth is complicit in this mess.

This is the most corrupt, lawless administration in the history of the United States and there’s no close second.

Heartbreaking: Under Trump's ICE terror, a 2-year-old Chicago girl was tear-gassed while walking with her mom-burning eyes, screams of
'Ouch! Mommy!' This isn't enforcement; it's state-sponsored child abuse.

The President using the military as his personal police force to intimidate American citizens is deeply un-American. This is the behavior of an autocrat. Full stop.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

2025-10-05T13:58:58Z

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.
