Trump's foreign policy serves only Trump
The most xenophobic and isolationist American president in modern history has been selling America to foreign powers for his personal benefit.
Trump says he withdrew American troops from the Syrian-Turkish border -- leaving our Kurdish allies to be slaughtered and opening the way for a resurgent ...Read more
Trump is the child caught with his hand in the cookie jar
Donald Trump will almost certainly be impeached in the House, possibly as soon as Thanksgiving. The odds are rising that he'll be convicted in the Senate.
There are two important questions, and the answers to both are becoming more obvious to more Americans every day.
The first is whether asking a foreign power to dig up dirt on...Read more
Integrity of the 2020 election must be protected
Amid the impeachment furor, don't lose sight of the renewed importance of protecting the integrity of the 2020 election.

We've had presidents try to cover up a sexual liaison ...Read more

A devilish deal between the White House and Wall Street
It began with Donald Trump's racist tweets demanding that four Democratic congresswomen - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar -- "go back" to the "crime-infested places from which they came."
All four women are American citizens, and only one, Omar, was born overseas.
Last week, at a rally in North Carolina,...Read more
