If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.”

Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

N.C. Republicans move to extend gerrymander, rewriting recent history at Trump’s behest

North Carolina Republicans aren't just eager to make their gerrymandered map even worse, they're also peddling a bizarre lie to defend their scheme.

The bitter war between the party establishment and the insurgent left has devolved into battles about ego and personality with little content.

Democrats need to debate ideas, not people

Endless establishment retreads are not the same as the center of public opinion.
