The chaos and destruction Donald Trump has wrought has been facilitated by the decades-long expansion of the president’s executive power. Far from checking that power when they hold office, Democrats have expanded it. That has to change.
The Iran war was such a fiasco that Donald Trump had no choice but to find a way out. Whether it sticks will partly depend on Democrats resisting the urge to irresponsibly goad him back into it.
Not content with launching a costly and disastrous war on Iran, Trump has unveiled a new plan to pay for it by further slashing domestic programs that keep Americans economically afloat. His new 2027 budget document is effectively a political suicide note.
In Iran and Lebanon, the US and Israeli militaries are bombing dense residential blocks, destroying civilian infrastructure, slaughtering children, and assassinating health workers. If it sounds familiar, it’s because this is the Gaza playbook.
Donald Trump is weighing whether to make the Iran War even more of a disaster by sending in ground troops. It’s a terrible idea that almost everyone agrees won’t achieve anything but kill US troops and draw the United States deeper into war.
A look at New York governor Kathy Hochul’s donors and the Jeffrey Epstein files reveals that some of the same billionaires who gave to her campaigns — and would benefit from her refusal to tax the rich — also were connected to the ultrawealthy pedophile.
We have another report that Israel used the military power the US underwrites to pressure Donald Trump into a disastrous war in Iran. US military aid to Israel makes Americans — to say nothing of the rest of the world — less safe.
Emails from the Jeffrey Epstein files show the late pedophile trying to connect far-right tech mogul Peter Thiel and former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak on at least six separate occasions.
American political leaders are openly stating that the United States is fighting Iran for Israel.
Donald Trump’s war on Iran is barely half a week old, and with each day, it has become a bigger and bigger debacle.
Donald Trump enacted his trade policy at the stroke of a pen for a whole year by acting quickly and assertively while the courts debated his tariffs’ constitutionality. It’s an approach the Left can use to much better ends.
The United States is attacking Iran because Donald Trump was determined to drag us into war no matter what — and despite repeatedly insisting he would do the exact opposite.
Democrats in Congress may be failing to meaningfully check ICE, but that’s not the story in towns and cities. There progressive and socialist lawmakers are working with local movements to craft ways to push back on the agency’s authoritarianism.
An alarming current attempt to use spurious accusations of antisemitism to attack press freedoms wasn’t recently carried out by the Trump administration. It was at the hands of Manhattan’s liberal district attorney, Alvin Bragg.
Despite his later denial, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wanted to keep a line open to Jeffrey Epstein. Emails between the two suggest that the world of the Big Tech elite is less a back room of evil geniuses than rich dullards discussing goofy ideas.
The recent release of more Epstein files only provide more evidence about just how close former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak and billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein were to each other, despite Barak’s protestations to the contrary.
ICE is out of control. Democrats have numerous ways to restrain the agency, from barring ICE from domestic spying and terminating its contracts with tech companies to creating and fully funding an independent body to investigate its many abuses.
The impunity with which ICE and other DHS agents are carrying out violence and murders in cities like Minneapolis is so awful that now scores of law enforcement officials themselves are speaking out against it.
Today’s liberal anti-Trump Resistance is stronger than it was in his first term, precisely because it has taken seriously some of the arguments of its critics.
Renee Good’s murder was the deadly culmination of the past year in which ICE and other federal agents pointed their guns and even shot at US citizens in dozens of cases around the country.
