From a notion of the times,
To the hoodlum kitchen minds that die.
From every mutant hour,
To those who have the power who don't try.
Where the surplus sounds of sanity grow hoarse,
And an abject slave mentality gets worse.
I can only find the murder machine.

So what do you say, J.D. Vance? You once feared Trump could be the American Adolf Hitler. But that seems to be the hope of the new generation of Republicans you’ve raised. Will you denounce this outbreak of antisemitism, racism and fascism in your party?

Trump didn’t light the fire overnight. He’s been turning up the heat slowly, hoping we won’t notice until we’re already cooked.

Money already approved for projects that Trump is using the shutdown to defund comes from less than 3% of Republican districts, compared with Democratic districts.

ICE's escalating violence and use of excessive force are wreaking havoc and making cities less safe.

Armed, masked federal agents shouldn't be menacing our communities.

Tackles, projectiles and gunfire: Many fear ICE tactics are growing more violent

Videos taken by eye witnesses of federal agent encounters with immigrants in Chicago and elsewhere have shown increasingly tense incidents. Immigrant advocates and observers say they're indicative of a larger trend of aggression among federal immigration officers.

President Trump honored Charlie Kirk w Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Kirk’s Turning Point USA's Professor Watch List posted names of professors. Some profs were fired, others harassed.

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Could We End Corporate Money In Politics?
