Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.
That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

What are you talking about air traffic controllers being politically untouchable @nicollewallace.bsky.social? Ronald Reagan famously decimated the ranks of air traffic controllers to break their union.

Congressman Joseph Neguse serving as the U.S. representative for Colorado's 2nd district put the Government Shutdown into perfect perspective. His statement here should resonate with American's from all walks of life.

I head into rural Republican districts across the state and country and I organize the Democrats in those red spaces. I am a cheerleader for these Democrats. I remind them that they are not alone, and they are a force for change.
I will never stop.

Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.

Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles.
In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.
