The filibuster was grounded in slavery and threatens all life on Earth.

The merciless Republican traitors are begging for mercy while many are still at-large. Don’t give it to them. This moment demands justice. And, if America doesn’t implement the “Buy American” vision now, the 21st Century will be the Chinese Century. Technological independence and repudiating “free trade” are key. Biden is taking that challenge. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy...

Here we go again- will the Republicans convince Biden to shoot Santa Claus like Obama and Clinton did?

And we hear a sampling of the testimony before Congress on whe...

Who is truly responsible for causing seditious rioters to hunt for Congressional leaders in the capitol building? Are right wing propaganda outlets like Fox to blame? Was all this a failed attempt to give Trump an excuse to revoke habeas corpus and declare a state of emergency? We must have accountability not only for the little fish who attacked our government, but also for the big fish who have...

How can we be protected from the actions of this man who Dr. Justin Frank has predicted is likely to be a danger to himself and others as the reality of his election loss sets in? Was the attack on the capitol a dress rehearsal for violence...

How much damage can Trump do in 13 days? Can he and will he be restrained by either impeachment or the 25th amendment?  Will Trump behave like other authoritarian leaders on the past and try to take the rest of us with him as he goes out?  Should we expect Republicans to stick with Trump to the bitter end?

Pundits across the American political spectrum are wringing their hands about the fate and future of the "dirty dozen" Republican senators challenging Biden's election. One of the most widespread stories about their motivation is that they're "afraid of Trump" or are "worried about being primaried." Both ideas are wrong.
