My fellow Americans and defenders of liberty — The time for waiting for someone else to fix this is over. Because the truth is— no one is coming. It's up to you and me. By the end of the year, millions of Americans will lose their healthcare under the Affordable Care Act. Jobs, benefits, and any sense of financial security are vanishing, crushed under rising costs, skyrocketing student debt, and u...

Fascism rarely arrives with fanfare. It slips in quietly—through the shadows of apathy and the silence of those who choose not to act. History teaches us that tyranny doesn’t just rise because of its loudest supporters—it thrives when those who know better stay quiet. And in just 100 days, Donald Trump has confirmed our worst fears: he is not governing like a president accountable to law, but ruli...

My fellow Americans and defenders of liberty — Free speech is not a suggestion. It is not a luxury. It is a constitutional right — the very cornerstone of any democracy. And right now, in 2025, under the presidency of Donald Trump, that cornerstone is cracking . Across the country, we're witnessing an alarming escalation of assaults on the First Amendment . Immigrants are being jailed or deported...

Donald Trump wrote The Art of the Deal to sell the image of a master negotiator. However, no amount of ghostwritten bravado can cover up the plain truth: Trump has no deal-making abilities.

Right now, Trump is pissing off almost 200 countries — and if they ever decided to join forces, they could stop buying from the U.S. entirely. Donald Trump's reckless antagonism of almost 200 countries isn't just a diplomatic embarrassment — it's a flashing red warning light for the U.S. economy. Right now, the global economy is interconnected like never before , and while America has long relied...

When Senator Cory Booker stood in the Senate for 25 relentless hours , he did more than break records—he broke the silence. His words rang out, not as partisan rhetoric, but as a call to conscience: "This is not right or left; it is right or wrong. This is not a partisan moment. It is a moral moment. Where do you stand?" His question is not rhetorical. It demands an answer from every one of us. It...

I remember the first time I said that Donald Trump was a fascist and a wannabe dictator. Someone messaged me, claiming I was being hyperbolic. But time has proven otherwise. From his first month in office, every action Trump took—including his disgraceful treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy —made one thing clear: this is a man who craves power, disregards democracy and aligns hims...

Hey y’all! Big love from Washington, D.C., where the energy is high and the movement is strong. I’m here this week to stand up, speak out, and shine a light on the power of people coming together for real progress.

Hillary Clinton's recent criticism of President Donald Trump's administration following the Signal leak scandal is a sharp reminder of the dangers of leadership driven by personal grievances and a lack of understanding of complex global issues. In her opinion piece for The New York Times , Clinton rightly notes the glaring mistakes and reckless decisions made by the Trump administration, which hav...
