Trump and Musk are attacking civil rights, full stop.

John, Donald Trump and unelected billionaire Elon Musk have taken an axe to government civil rights and equity programs – calling everything they don’t like DEI and ending federal initiatives to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the government. But they didn’t stop there: Trum…

Netanyahu violates the ceasefire while Trump says U.S. will “take” Gaza

John, Last week, Donald Trump suggested that the United States will “buy” and “own” the Gaza Strip after pushing Palestinians off of the “uninhabitable” land that Israel destroyed with billions of dollars of U.S. bombs and weapons. Now, after admitting “a civilization’s been wiped out in…

“What leverage do we have?”

Hypocrisy from the Democratic establishment:
