Trump plan to rig election by ending mail-in voting with illegal voter suppression executive action.

Donald Trump is preparing to sign a new executive order that he hopes will do away with mail-in voting, as he falsely claims mail ballots can be manipulated and voting machines are “highly inaccurate” in a bid to suppress the vote and hold on to power.

Putin’s quiet victory at Trump’s Alaska summit won't end the Ukraine war or help European allies.

When Donald Trump meets Vladimir Putin in Alaska, the cameras will capture handshakes, flags, and grand claims of peace. But according to diplomatic insiders, the real outcome will be far less celebratory — and far more dangerous. The Anchorage summit, billed as a breakthrough to “end the war” in Ukraine, is shaping up to be the moment Putin secures exactly what he set out to achieve when he launched his invasion: permanent control over the territory he’s taken, a ban on Ukraine joining NATO, an...

TAKEN: Trump sends migrants to Hawaii prison from U.S. mainland as ICE detention facilities overflow.

ICE's new resources will fuel an intense initiative to recruit as many as 10,000 new agents who will have a presence in cities like New York City and Los Angeles, and throughout the United States. And the money comes as a windfall for private prison companies, who have already rushed to pitch the administration on new contracts to run detention facilities. For now, ICE is deporting migrants across the Pacific, to Honolulu. SPONSOR: Head to http://www.joindeleteme.com/fiveminutenews and use promo...

Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, said on Tuesday the Trump regime would revoke the scientific determination that underpins the government’s legal authority to combat climate change.

Why 4th July doesn't feel like a celebration in 2025, with America under authoritarian rule.

Americans will mark Independence Day with flags, parades, and fireworks. The traditions endure, even as the democratic ideals they’re meant to celebrate appear increasingly hollow. It’s been 249 years since the United States broke away from British rule, and over the past year, it seems to have broken away from the global order it once helped shape, and from the foundational principles of reason and integrity. Within the U.S., this unraveling feels like a national crisis. From outside its border...
