If you listen to MAGA, they truly hate America and everything that makes it great. They hate democracy, free and fair elections, diversity, and the separation of church and state.
They should just leave. Go to Hungary, the country they love.

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.
Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Imagine if we could all agree that hungry people should be fed.
Homeless people should be housed.
Sick people should receive medical care.
If basic needs were guaranteed and taken care of, society would be healthier and happier.

By eroding trial by jury, the government is cementing its legacy as a bulldozer of our human rights.
This is the behaviour of authoritarian regimes!
The right to a jury trial is a fundamental tenet of democracy. We cannot let it be destroyed.

The White House says their peace plan didn’t come from Russia — the problem is it reads like Putin’s wishlist. We need a deal to end the war that actually protects Ukraine and doesn’t reward the war criminal who started this.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.
