The media needs to stop calling this an “immigration crackdown.” That’s not what Trump’s doing. He’s using the military and ICE to invade cities and occupy them. Trump is itching for a fight, and he wants it with blue-city mayors and blue-state governors. The good news: they’re not backing down.

Can we please not lose sight—while Trump is kowtowing to Putin—that Ukraine is fighting for democracy, its sovereignty and survival. America should of course be fully supporting our courageous ally.

At least three people died in a mass shooting in a Target parking lot in Austin on Monday. The suspect has a "mental health" and criminal history, local authorities said. Texans may want to know why their GOP leaders just banned a proven legal tool for preventing this www.cnn.com/2025/08/11/u...

Absolutely shameful. Afghans promised a home in U.S. may face repatriation — and the Taliban Afghans who helped American forces are stuck in limbo as the Trump administration cuts the State Department office for Afghan relocation. We're talking upwards of 250k Afghans here.

Drowned out: While Texans beg for help, the GOP redraws the map to cheat. The purpose of the special session wasn’t about flood relief. It was about stealing elections. Let me make it plain: Over 100 dead. Flood victims plead for help. Republicans were busy rigging maps for Trump.

This draft dodger, who liked to pretend he was in the military by wearing this cute little costume in high school, is planning to use our real military domestically against US citizens. This violates the Posse Comitatus Act enacted in 1878 to stop our military being used as a domestic police force.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

Note from a human rights lawyer to members of the U.S. military: If directed to execute illegal orders, remember, declaring “I was just following orders” was not a valid defense during the Nuremberg trials, & it won’t be here either. Your oath is to the US Constitution—not to a 34X convicted felon.
