This is how you write a goddamn headline.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

This is unbelievable.

This is war. Without Congressional approval.

Dear God.

We are alone, with just fucking Israel "on our side"... just two lone war criminals, two career criminals destroying the world, in order to stay in power and out of prison. Watch Trump will now say that he is canceling the elections, declaring that "it's for our own good", or some such bullshit.

A reminder that the orange felon falsely claimed that Kamala Harris would start many wars if she were President and now he’s bombing Iran, bombing Venezuela, ordering attacks in Nigeria, threatening Greenland, threatening Canada, threatening Mexico and more.

I’ll never regret voting for her.

Kansas Revokes IDs for 1,000+ Transgender Residents Under New State Law More than 1,000 transgender Kansas residents have had their driver's licenses and birth certificates invalidated under a new state law that took effect Thursday. The legislation requires gender marker...

It was never about protecting cisgen women and girls. This law strips transgender adult male and females of their right to pursue liberty.

Green party wins Gorton and Denton byelection, pushing Labour to third place in blow to Keir Starmer Hannah Spencer elected as party’s first MP in northern England, as Labour sees a 25.3% drop in vote compared to 2024

Every journalist who covered Reform’s conference but not the Greens’, or tried to conflate the two as both as bad as each other, or reported everything Farage said about immigration but not what Polanski did on wealth…

You guys took a hell of a beating.

Nothing new yet in this SoTu. Usual whopping lies, bare-faced sycophancy, and pit of dread about this freak running the world's superpower.

Jeffries: Donald Trump was clearly never qualified to be president. That was true 10 years ago, and it certainly is true today. He is deteriorating before our very eyes, struggling to string coherent thoughts together, let alone function as commander-in-chief.

BOYCOTT THE SOTU!

I can't watch that lying pedophile, or look at his ass face. I rather jump into a pool of razor blades.

One alternative is "State of the Swamp" An event that includes democracy-loving speakers & is FREE to watch tonight at 7pm ET, go to:

A CAP infographic titled "Last month Americans paid more for groceries as a direct result of the Trump administration’s tariffs." It displays four food categories with percentage increases compared to pre-tariff trends: Coffee, tea, and cocoa (+12%); Fish and seafood (+8%); Fruit (+7%); and Meat (+5%). Each category is accompanied by a pink-tinted illustration of the food item.

Despite the Trump administration’s claims that other countries would pay for its tariffs, Americans are paying the price. The Harvard Business School Pricing Lab found that prices have risen relative to pre-tariff trendsβ€”from meat to coffee and tea. https://ampr.gs/4s8jaEn

The FBI interviews of a woman who accused Trump of sexually abusing her when she was 13 years old were illegally removed from the Epstein files. House Oversight Democrats were already investigating the allegations made by the woman, now they have opened an investigation into the conduct of the DOJ..

Shame on you US hockey team for showing up at the White House. This tells us women that you don't care about your mother, your sister, your wife and you couldn't care less about the immigrants. So, from me to you, fuck off. Love from Canada.

Seems like another good time to let y'all know my newspaper (I literally own it) is online.

Feb. 25 edition will *really* be worth reading if you want to see what a small town paper can write about small town politics.

Jon Husted had deeper ties to Ohio’s largest bribery scandal than previously thought New reporting from News 5 Cleveland revealed that U.S. Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) met with one of the architects of Ohio’s largest bribery scandal two days before bribery legislation was introduced in the...

Ohio GOP Sen. Jon Husted has got some problems.

First, he was taking caught donations from Epstein co-conspirator Les Wexner as recently as last summer.

Now he's got shady ties to the largest bribery scandal in OH history.
