On April 1, 2026, the †rump regime's DØJ declared the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional. That law, passed after Watergate, requires presidents to turn over all official records to the American people when they leave office. No president before this one has ever challenged it. We explain what is being lost, why it matters, and what you can do right now to stop it.

The United States federal government is killing people. Not in distant wars. Not in classified operations. Here. In detention facilities spread across seven states. In parking lots in Minneapolis. On the streets where ordinary Americans live. And the majority of this country does not know their names. We will make them known.

The answer is not the 25th Amendment. It was never the 25th Amendment. The answer is in Article I of the Constitution, it has been there since 1787, and it is called impeachment. Congress has the power. Congress has the grounds. Congress has the obligation. What Congress does not have — what it has been conspicuously lacking — is the spine to use it. That changes when the people demand it. So let's be clear about what we're demanding, and why.

Hey, †rumpsters... If you voted for him and you are now watching what is happening with dread — the war in Iran fought on Israel's behalf, the meme coins, the Qatar jet, the flag-draped coffin used as a fundraising prop, the Epstein files pointing upward toward the most powerful men in the room — then sit with that. You helped cause this. Owning that is the beginning of doing something about it.

April 7 came and went. Some results hurt. Some inspired. And now, with August 4 on the horizon, southwest Missouri Democrats cannot afford to sit this one out. Here, we break down everything that happened on April 7 — from SB 3 to the Joplin City Council race that is still not officially called — and lays out exactly who we are voting for and why on August 4.

If you live in Newton or Jasper County, there is a question on your April 7 ballot that looks like a property tax break. It is not. It is a funding trap — and if it passes, the services your community depends on every single day will pay the price. The measure is tied to Missouri Senate Bill 3, passed in a special legislative session in June 2025. It sounds simple. It is not. And that is exactly the problem. Vote NO on April 7. Here's why....

We need to stop using the word "controversial" to describe what is happening in Iran. What is happening is not controversial. It is not a policy disagreement. It is not a matter of perspective. What is happening, what is being threatened openly, brazenly, by the President of the United States, has a name. It is called a war crime.

An Opinion Editorial This morning, on Easter Sunday — the holiest day on the Christian calendar — the President of the United States woke up and posted this to Truth Social: " Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP " Read that again. Slowly. A 79-year-old president, on Ea

Let us be precise. This is not a blog about immigration policy. This is not a blog about crime statistics. This is not a blog about border security or economic anxiety or any of the other euphemisms Amerikkka uses when it does not want to say the word out loud... Racism.

If you've been watching the news lately — the No Kings protests, the mail-in voting executive order, the war in Iran, the treason charges being debated in legal circles — you may be feeling what a lot of people are feeling right now: the urgency to do something, combined with the exhaustion of not knowing where to start. Tonight is a place to start. Join us on Zoom for Together Across America.

On the evening of March 31, 2026 — the same day eight million Americans were still celebrating the largest protest in U.S. history — Donold †rump signed an executive order targeting the way Americans vote. Not the way undocumented people vote. The way you vote. The way your neighbor votes. The way your grandmother votes from her assisted living facility.

The word treason is not thrown around lightly in this article. It is the only crime specifically defined in the United States Constitution, deliberately written narrowly by the Founders to prevent it from becoming a political weapon. That precision was intentional. And it cuts both ways. When the case fits, it fits unambiguously. We begin with January 6, 2021. We do not end there.

The signatures have been counted. The votes have been cast. The bombs are still falling. And this Saturday, March 28, millions of Americans stood up and said: enough.

Voting under threat is real. Here's how you can help protect it. If you've been watching the news, you know the 2026 midterms are shaping up to be unlike any in recent memory. Steve Bannon has publicly called for IÇE agents to "surround the polls." †rump officials have refused to explicitly rule it out. IÇE has been deployed to airports, and with Bannon openly describing it as a "test run" for Election Day. Whether or not IÇE actually shows up at polling places, the threat it

This Saturday, March 28, we take to the streets as part of what is expected to be the largest single day of nonviolent protest in American history. Before we share the details for our Joplin gathering, we want to make sure you know exactly what is at stake. Please read what follows. It is important. It is real. And it is why we cannot afford to stay home.

In 2012, a small group of political scientists at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden set out to build the most rigorous global dataset on democracy ever constructed. They called it the Varieties of Democracy Institute, or V-Dem. At the time, global democracy was near its historic peak. Their colleagues called them alarmists. The data, they said, was exaggerating the risk. Democracy was fine. The data was not exaggerating.

Last night, while most of America slept, the Federal Communications Commission approved the $6.2 billion merger of Nexstar Media Group and Tegna. The deal closed. It is done. A single company now controls 265 television stations across 44 states and the District of Columbia. One company. 80% of American households. ... Gone. Not gone in the sense that the stations disappeared. Gone in the sense that the independence is over.

Right now, if a state or local police officer violates your constitutional rights, you can sue them under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. But if a federal officer – from ICE, CBP, FBI, or another agency – does the same thing, your path to justice is far narrower and often blocked by judge-made limits and broad immunities. That gap leaves real people with life-altering harms and no meaningful remedy. This is where we come in.

Representative Burlison, We, your constituents from Missouri’s 7th Congressional District, submit this formal Notice following your public rejection of impeachment for President Donald Trump and your continued refusal to use constitutional remedies in the face of executive abuses.
