Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. loved America. He loved our country so much that he dedicated his life β€” and in the end, his life was taken β€” in a fight for our nation's highest ideal: Freedom.

Stephen Miller, a top aide to President Trump, asserted on Monday that Greenland rightfully belonged to the United States and that the Trump administration could seize the semiautonomous Danish
territory if it wanted. "Nobody's going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland," Mr. Miller told Jake Tapper, the CNN host, after being asked repeatedly whether he would rule out using military
force. The remarks were part of a vocal push by Mr. Miller, long a powerful behind-the-scenes player in Trump administration policy, to justify American imperialism and a vision for a new world order in which the United States could freely overthrow national governments and take foreign territory and resources so long as it
was in the national interest. "We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power," he said. "These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of
time"

Pure cowardice on the part of every European leader who refuses to call out the Trump administration for what it is: a criminal and utterly lawless extortion racket which poses a grave danger to the security of the entire world

Chicago is where Michelle was raised, where I got my start as an organizer, and where we built a family together. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next June, it will be our way to give back to a city that has given us so much. obama.org/presidential-center

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

I'm certainly not an expert in the renovation of historic properties, but this does not look professional in the slightest.

If you're blaming the Democrats for the shutdown of a government that is run entirely by Republicans, why stop there?

Go wild, man. Blame the shutdown on leprechauns, or the Seattle Mariners, or maybe the cast of "She's the Sheriff."

You've decided facts don't matter, so have some fun with it!

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

A close-in view of the centre of galaxy M82. Bright, bluish light radiating from the centre is due to stars actively forming there. A thick lane of gas, black in the centre and red around the edges, crosses the centre and blocks much of the light. Thinner strands and clumps of reddish dust cover much of the rest of the view.

Ohioans ask Gov. DeWine to recall National Guard troops recently sent to Washington D.C. Ohio advocates are calling on Gov. Mike DeWine to bring home the Ohio National Guard troops recently deployed to Washington D.C. President Donald Trump said on Aug. 11 he would send National Guard…

President Donald Trump said the troops are meant to crack down on crime in Washington D.C., and Ohio is one of six states that has so far sent troops. Toledo, Dayton, and Cleveland all had a higher crime rate than D.C. in 2024.

Inside the movement that freed gay makeup artist Andry HernΓ‘ndez Romero from a hellhole The U.S. government under Trump tried to disappear a gay Venezuelan man seeking asylum to a torture prison in El Salvador indefinitely. A coalition of Americans didn’t let them.

Trump says he was surprised that Jerome Powell, the Fed chair he appointed, was appointed The president seemed to forget that he appointed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, which was part of an unsettling pattern of cognitive missteps.
