Trump claimed this Reagan speech is ‘fake,’ but it’s real — it comes from a 1987 radio address.

This is their playbook for the midterms. Intimidation and harassment - if we are lucky it will only be that. Because their full playbook is most likely much worse but this is the warmup act.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

A Christianity that causes the hungry to go without food, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be mistreated, and God’s creation to be ravaged, all while the greedy and cruel satisfy their every desire, is a Christianity that can no longer claim to follow Christ.

Meiselas: We’re 24 days into the government shutdown, and Trump left the country — the first president in U.S. history to leave the country during a shutdown.

This, while food lines are being seen throughout the United States. This is Trump’s America. Food lines like we saw in COVID are back.

Hope is not a sentimental optimism that things will somehow work out; hope is the subversive conviction that injustice and death will not have the final word and acting on that belief. Hope is not passive waiting it’s active persistence. Hope prays, peacefully protests, weeps, and keeps showing up.

'Our hands are tied': Can anyone stop Trump's tear-down of the East Wing?
Many preservationists fear the answer is no. A pro-Trump review board is expected to approve the president's planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom, too.

It's amazing that the White House and Capitol Building, the two principal structures which functionally and symbolically represent civilian government in the United States, stood against even the prospect of harm for two centuries until Donald Trump intentionally desecrated both of them.

Does lying about demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House with zero consultation with Congress, the National Park Service or anyone else something that will reach the low info voter who doesn’t watch the news? Will anything reach them?

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

This comes up so often with my clients—they want to know what they can get for a wrongful or dismissed prosecution. Usually the answer is “nothing.”

I’ve been doing this for nearly a decade, and I can think of one client who wound up getting money for a violation of his rights.

I’ve written about people who were exonerated after being imprisoned for 20, 30, and 40-plus years. Some were nearly executed. None of them ever saw anything near $320 million.

The first time the Confederate flag ever paraded through the US Capitol was on January 6, 2021.

The first time the White House was damaged in over 200 years since the US rebuilt in the 1820s after the British burned it in the war of 1812 was mid October, 2025.
