This comes as the […]

- Amnesty: Executions Spike in Iran as Gov't Intensifies Domestic Repression Amid U.S./Israeli AttacksAmnesty International’s 2025 report on the global use of the death penalty finds that executions have surged to their highest recorded number in over 40 years, driven largely by the expanded use of political executions in Iran to “create a climate of fear and intimidation in the society and deter dissent.” Amnesty recorded 2,707 executions […]
- Is an Invasion of Cuba Next? Peter Kornbluh on U.S. Move to Indict Raúl Castro & CIA's Widening RoleIn the latest escalation of the decadeslong U.S. pressure campaign against Cuba’s communist government, the Trump administration is expected to unseal an indictment against Raúl Castro, the 94-year-old former president of Cuba, later today. The charges stem from the 1996 shootdown of four pilots with Brothers to the Rescue, the U.S.-based anti-Castro organization formed by […]
- In Havana, we speak to journalist Ed Augustin, who calls the Trump administration’s strict fuel blockade of Cuba, in place since the beginning of 2026, “the collective punishment of a population, particularly targeting poor communities, pregnant women, children and the elderly.” Augustin shares stories of hardship faced by everyday Cubans who are increasingly forced to […]

- by NewsHound EllenActing Attorney General Todd Blanche should wear a button saying, “I work for President P***y Grabber, not you,” just so we all know what the guy whose salary we all pay considers his job. And speaking of money coming from the pockets of we, the people, Blanche made his taxpayer-funded fealty to Trumpism over the […]
- by Conover KennardBless his lil' heart, Acting AG Todd Blanche met with Republican lawmakers Thursday morning to address their concerns about a DOJ settlement that would distribute $1.8 billion to people who claim they were targeted by government overreach. As John Amato notes, this is a crime in broad daylight, and "Blanche claims Trump wasn't part of […]
- by Conover KennardAs it happens, Tina Peters didn't need Trump's fake pardon to get out of her nine-year sentence for felonies related to providing unauthorized access to voting equipment when she was the elected clerk and recorder of Mesa County. Democratic Gov. Jared Polis stepped in, and now she's due to be released on June 1st, even […]
- by John AmatoJD Vance bizarrely castigated a reporter for dumping an inconvenient truth on him about Trump's massive stock trading while in office, and then proclaimed Donald supports banning stocks trades from members of Congress. There is a reason Trump had Todd Blanche try to make him exempt from an IRS audit. Trump's financial disclosures are damning […]
- by Susie MadrakRep. Brian Fitzpatrick threatened to "kill" the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund announced by Trump's Department of "Justice" this week. Fitzpatrick, who represents a Pennsylvania swing district, is among the Republicans expressing discomfort with the anti-weaponization fund. The DOJ announced the fund as part of a deal to end the Trump administration’s lawsuit against the IRS. […]
- by John AmatoThe word collusion does not justify what just took place. Todd Blanche was Trump's personal attorney and if he had one iota of ethics he would have recused himself. Todd did his best to get Ghislaine Maxwell to clear Trump from the Epstein files, but that failed so he's done the most unethical thing imaginable. […]

- by Chris capper LiebenthalDuring the Salem Witch Trials, er, the Republican hearing trying to frame the Southern Poverty Law Center as a racist organization, the Republicans made a grave mistake.

- by Left Wisdomescape from the vicious right wing AmericaNow I have to admit that I doubt that New York will ever be affordable for me. It has always been a horrible expensive city to live where rent control existed, but it was always still very highly priced to live there. As I mentioned in the prior article about […]
- by Left WisdomHarrison Ford made a good solid statement about American Enemy Number 1. The only thing I disagree about is that trump has a plan, I just know that the plan he has is not FOR the American People. In fact, I call him American Enemy Number 1 because his plan seems to be to make […]
