3.5%—that's it. All it would take is 3.5% of Americans to peacefully protest & make the government meet the people's demands. YOUR voice is essential to stop the Trump administration’s authoritarian power grab.

Trump Official Accused PEPFAR of Funding Abortions in Russia. It Wasn’t True.

Russell Vought, a major Project 2025 architect who runs OMB, told a Senate committee PEPFAR had spent $8.3 mil on funding abortion care. A brazen lie.

Here is the Minnesota shooter giving a sermon in Congo, blasting American churches for not taking a stronger anti-abortion stance.

He says, “God is going to raise up apostles and prophets in America to correct his church.”

‘Dog Walking Is a Clear Crime’: Iran’s Latest Morality Push The government regards pet dogs as a sign of Western cultural influence. They are also considered impure, in Islam. Now there is a crackdown.

Leave it to a religion to crack down on dog walking and produce a nonsensical statement like, "Prayer is invalid with the presence of dog hair." Prayer is invalid, period. And dog walking is good exercise.

Pete Hegseth may go 'on bended knee' in worship as a private citizen, but he has no right to impose his sectarian beliefs, much less those of his personal Christian nationalist pastor, on Pentagon staff. Presidents aren't divinely appointed, nor is Jesus 'King' of the U.S.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 calls for the Weather Service to "fully commercialize" its forecasting, meaning public safety (weather warnings) might be given only to those who can afford to pay. Already the Weather Service has lost nearly 600 staffers.

A Warning From Justice Souter: Democracy Is in Peril

We honor the late Justice Souter for his dissent siding with FFRF over our right to sue over Bush's faith-based offices in 2007. His words in 2012 warning of an uninformed public leading to a strongman ("This is how democracy dies") were so prescient.

Opinion | The Document That Has Uncomfortable Lessons for Trump The president should reread the Declaration of Independence.

Quoting back the Declaration of Independence, which threw out the king, to Donald Trump:
"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance" could be tailor-made for Musk and "DOGE."

The Women Most Affected by Abortion Bans After the Dobbs decision, births rose in states with bans, but more for some women than others.
