Montana organizers have drafted a 2026 ballot referendum to block corporations from spending money in state, local and federal elections within Montana. The proposal sidesteps Citizens United by using state authority over corporate charters and powers.

Distrust of political parties is as old as the United States itself. James Madison warned against factions, then helped build one of the nation’s first parties. The debate endures: can stronger, more accountable parties help defend democracy from polarization?

This election is bigger than one seat. It is about stopping Trump’s drift toward authoritarian power and protecting democracy itself. Every supporter must help neighbours, seniors, and busy parents reach the booth. Democracies survive only when citizens show up and vote.

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth joined Marines and Sailors aboard the USS Boxer in Singapore for an early morning training session during his Shangri-La Dialogue visit. Hegseth also met Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing to discuss bilateral defence cooperation.

Sen. Jeff Merkley challenged Secretary Marco Rubio’s claim that no deaths resulted from the USAID shutdown, citing estimates from public health experts that more than 500,000 children may have died after aid programs were abruptly halted. He urged restoration of global health programs.

Hungary’s people proved a rigged map cannot defeat public will forever. When leaders redraw districts, silence minorities, and dilute votes, they expose fear, not strength. Democracy survives when citizens refuse to surrender their voice, their solidarity, and their courage.

“We already impeached him twice. He’s still president.” Michigan Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow says there are no shortcuts around democratic participation. Her message: organize, register voters, and vote in numbers strong enough to defend democracy itself.

Trump promised to “drain the swamp,” then turned the presidency into a marketplace for power, favors, & self-enrichment. A $400 million jet from a foreign monarchy would have triggered outrage under Biden. Accountability cannot depend on party loyalty while the Constitution becomes collateral damage

Senior Iranian commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari says Iran’s armed forces are prepared for “any scenario” to defend country’s territorial integrity and Islamic Revolution. He made the remarks during a ceremony honoring those killed in the recent US-Israeli war.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has reiterated Tehran’s continued backing for Hezbollah in a message to the group’s leadership, underscoring that Iran still sees the Lebanese movement as a central pillar of its regional deterrence and resistance network amid escalating tensions.

#Habs Alex Newhook on OT goal "I wasn't sure if Jake touched it, so I looked at him to see if he was going to celebrate. It's a crazy feeling [...] It was great to see it finally in the back of the net & there's no better feeling than celebrating with teammates after a win like that." #GoHabsGo

Innenminister Dobrindt ist spitze im Ignorieren: 1. Er ignoriert Gerichtsentscheidungen! Immer wieder haben deutsche & EU Gerichte Grenzkontrollen & Zurückweisungen für rechtswidrig erklärt. Der Minister ignoriert das einfach. Klar ist: Schutzsuchende müssen rechtsstaatlich & fair behandelt werden.

In 1977, the retail world was caught in a clunky transition. While we think of "swiping" as a 1980s phenomenon, the groundwork for the electronic credit card era was laid right in the middle of the '70s.

Trump: Hundreds of people won and almost nobody didn't win. Last night was very powerful

Real folks talking about #TrumpsGasCrisis and how it is affecting their bottom line. While this corrupt administration keeps making money hand over fist, we the people are getting fleeced at the gas pump. Nobody voted for higher prices and for Trump’s net worth to nearly triple
