Politics, Corruption & Criminality

Suddenly, we are living in a country in which the thieves command the prosecutors, and the law is whatever the king and his agents declare it to be.

Liberty is not an option in America. Its preservation is the deepest obligation that we all share. Make no mistake: it is threatened by a malice that is historic, bearing down and deeply malevolent.

Republicans say they’re “bringing back jobs,” but what they really want is a desperate, powerless workforce with no healthcare, no unions, and no future—just the way Wall Street likes it.

America rapidly is slipping into the authoritarian nightmare Putin dreamed of for us.

With the FBI's arrest of a Milwaukee judge, America has officially become Russia.

Vladimir Putin has draped himself in old-fashioned, medieval conceptions of Russian history to add symbolic weight to his authoritarian government.

The dismantling of American democracy isn’t a secret conspiracy. It’s a public spectacle—and it’s accelerating.

By slashing teams that gather critical data, the administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working—and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades.

April 20, 2025 is the date for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to tell Trump whether or not he can suspend the Constitution and Bill of Rights by invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807.

The question now is whether the rest of America will join Wisconsin in standing up—or if we shall all be forced to bow down and learn to live in Musk’s brave new world.

Whether Trump and Musk are operating on Putin’s instructions or not, the result is the same: the deliberate dismantling of a liberal democratic order that has stood for 240 years.
