Want to know what Trump- Elon Musk’s DOGE cuts did to the US Forest Service? Listen to a Smokejumper in MT running for the Dem nomination for Western Montana. Race “too close to call.”

CBS trying to compete with FOX is not going to work. Leave it to a student journalist scholarship recipient to speak the truth. Kudos to Santiago!

Donald Trump is underwater deeper than Jacques Cousteau with young men. Luv this pollster on CNN.

Here’s the drop-off in Republican voters in the Texas primary race. Not a good sign for Paxton in the fall election. Talarico: “To say Paxton is ethically challenged is to say Jeffrey Dahmer had an eating disorder.”

Senator Van Hollen literally exposes the Acting AG Todd Blanche for the lying man that he is. Amazing. Watch this.

Stacey Abrams says that Trump’s call to redistrict Texas “will not stop” and will go everywhere — eliminating democracy and furthering authoritarianism.

The Redistricting Vote in Virginia is about democracy. President Trump began a movement in TX to disenfranchise voters that requires a response. Voting “yes” is a reasonable answer.

When the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran’s oil and gas fields they didn’t calculate the cost. And it is beyond the environmental impacts.

Senator Corey Booker (D-NJ) calls for a vote on the “War Powers Resolution.” What’s wrong with Republican Senators? Are they blind, feckless, or both? Replace them all.

President Trump is not telling the truth about prices, tariffs, the war and the 2020 Election. And the most dangerous lie in 2026: The SAVE Act.

Donald Trump has made his supporters look like fools. An immense betrayal along with Epstein. Are winning ‘enuf MAGA? Dump the man who lied to you.

National Review editors slay Trump’s speech. Here’s “no cap,” meaning no lies, “sketch,” with a “Period.” Got it?

This is a true bombshell — a connecting of the dots of missing accounts in released DOJ files — namely four interviews by the FBI of a 13-14 year old girl claiming a sexual assault by Donald Trump. Let’s get to the bottom of this coverup.

Senator Schiff (D-CA) and dozens of MOC will be boycotting the SOTU for an alternative Move-On and the Meidas Network event. I don’t blame them! (Can we attend the alternative event?). I

Trump’s economic policy is bad and it didn’t work — bringing down the trade deficit. “The US is not a monarchy,” Justin Wolver explains, and the SCOTUS reaffirmed that in its tariff decision.

This is a sample of the disgust that MAGA (and most Americans) have for the behavior of Donald Trump. (The profanity is understandable.). He is after all a disgusting man, according to at least this evangelical.

President’s Day Parade in historic Alexandria, Va brought out my favorites — George Washington and Martha and Scottish bagpipers. (Why not for this Virginian with Scottish heritage?). Write me if you’re an Urquhart descendant.

Former Gov. Jay Inslee (WA) on Trump’s rescinding the “endangerment finding” on the greenhouse gas pollution killing Americans. The harm that is occurring is preventable. No way is Trump “pro-life.”

“If you don’t want to be called fascists don’t act like it.” Amen to that. The head of the CPB literally gaslighted us on the threat to ICE agents by their own data. Why does CPB lie? Because the Trump Administration lets them get away with it.

Our goal at Evangelicals For Democracy is to connect the dots between faith and democracy. A working economy is essential to restoring faith in our institutions.

“Is Donald Trump guilty of trafficking women and girls?” Ghislaine Maxwell refused to exonerate Donald Trump, and took the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination for every question (in her deposition). Why? Because Maxwell wants a pardon from Trump. He won’t rule it out. We know why.

Storyteller extraordinaire Don Winslow has been warning us since 2015: “The Trump playbook is to start a fire every day in order to hide the fact he’s violating the First Amendment and stealing the election.” His new book “The Final Score.”

The ICE agent who shot this Latina 5 times, bragged about it. Horrific physical and psychological damage being done to American citizens. This is not America but Trump’s America and it must end.

Sec. of “War” Hegseth told our top generals that the military is unfit. He laid out an anti-woke vision to weed out “dudes in dresses” and men with beards [blacks]. Trump upped the ante with claims of an “invasion from within.” The message from both to Americans: “FAFO.”

Whirling Dervishes are linked to the 13th-century Persian poet and mystic Rumi. The centuries-old Sufi ceremony represents the soul’s mystical journey toward divine love and truth. A form of worship, this observer in Cappadocia, Turkey was entranced.

Morally vacant President. Trump says “They have to fight.” Gave up on a ceasefire. Doesn’t care about survival of Ukraine. Just wants to avoid coverage of the Epstein Files.
