America, we have 11 months to stop a dictator. Don't be fooled by the familiarity of the fool or by any soft-pedaling of the situation. Trump means us excessive harm.

Nobody in the Democratic Party, including Joe Biden, is perfect. We don't need that and we won’t get it. We need people that will stop this march to autocracy, misogyny, racism, and the deletion of our rights.

One chance, people.

Voters must take Trump seriously and literally. The stakes are that high.

Voters must take Trump seriously and literally. The stakes are that high.

Trump may be a performance artist, but with his shocking provocations, he is telling us what he would do in a second term as president. That’s why taking him seriously and literally is required.

Anyone who wants this back in the White House doesn’t understand the true danger of one-man, authoritarian rule.

The Koch network is deeply involved an upcoming SCOTUS case that could eviscerate the federal government's regulatory power.

We recently learned that Clarence Thomas secretly participated in Koch fundraising events.

Why in the world would he be allowed to rule on this case?

GA GOP wants to punish DA Willis for prosecuting Trump.

WI GOP wants to impeach Judge Janet for hearing a case on fair districts.

Trump wants to execute General Milley for criticizing him.

GOP knows they cant win on ideas—so they try to suppress democracy by all possible means.

The deadbird site is now a disinformation machine. It has been reconfigured to get "creators" to push vile -- but clickbait on steroids -- lies that satisfy, enrage, and otherwise push people's emotional buttons.

Some "creators" get paid now, and have a huge incentive to make their disinformation even more clickbait-driven. Hamsters on a wheel that spits out money.

If journalists had an ounce of pride they'd leave.
