Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

I have zero tolerance for reckless street takeovers that put our families and police officers in danger.

That’s why I directed the Mass State Police to work hand-in-hand with local law enforcement to shut them down.

And that’s exactly what they did.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.

Nancy Pelosi is sick of their bullshit.

A screenshot of an X.com post by @Acyn
, Acyn, posted 3 hours ago, stating, "Question: Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th? Pelosi: Turns Around Shut up. I did not refuse the National Guard. The President didn’t send it! Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you are a serious journalist?" The post includes a video still from Lindell TV showing a confrontation: a woman in a green jacket (Pelosi) speaking into a microphone held by a man in a blue suit, with another man in a suit and a background of parked cars and a government building.
