Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.

Gas prices skyrocketing.

This is the only photograph of a First Lady that matters when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein.

Depose Melania.

How to Save a Democracy Americans can learn from opponents of authoritarianism elsewhere.

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..."

How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

1. The Social Security Administration and DOGE are GASLIGHTING AMERICANS.

They are telling millions of beneficiaries that reports they were closing SSA field offices were fake news.

Actually, these closures were PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED and LEASES WERE CANCELED.

I Used to Work for Chuck Schumer. He's Pushing Young People Away From the Democratic Party. I blame my former boss for the party's failures.

The headline says it all...

A former Schumer staffer, Leah Juliett, is sounding the alarm that Schumer's leadership has "left many young voters increasingly disaffected by politics and disconnected from a party that once felt aligned with our values."
