In a misguided effort to be "unbiased," most news media have stopped calling Trump's Big Lie about the 2020 election what it is. Instead they're using terms like "false statements" or "claims without evidence."

Memo to the media: Calling out lies isn't "biased." It's your job.

In April 2022, the Heritage Foundation introduced 'Project 2025' with the hope of guiding America toward authoritarianism. Now, with Donald Trump at the top of the Republican ticket, that threat has only grown more dire. But what exactly are the plans of Project 2025, and how can we fight against this right-wing movement? A Q&A with Thomas Zimmer, Professor of 20th-century U.S. and international history at Georgetown University, sheds light on this dangerous project. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/project-2025-thomas-zimmer-trump

Trump said he wouldn’t stop states from prosecuting people who violate draconian abortion bans.

He even said he wouldn’t intervene if states monitor pregnancies to determine compliance — a horrific violation of privacy.

Trump has proposed a 10% tariff on all imported goods and a 60% or more tariff on Chinese imports.

No matter what he says, tariffs aren't paid by the other country. They're paid by you.

Recent analysis predicts his plan would cost the average family about $1,500 extra per year.

I can't believe I even have to say this, but it is not normal that the Supreme Court is taking its sweet time to decide if the president can incite an insurrection to overturn an election and maintain power. This should have been decided already. The answer is no!

Two of the Arizona Supreme Court justices who voted to reimpose the state's 1864 abortion law will be up for retention in November.

Sadly, a lot of voters have historically not paid much attention to down-ballot elections.

Something tells me that's about to change.

Trump keeps telling the lie that he's being prosecuted "by Biden."

False.

Four different grand juries, made up of ordinary citizens, voted to indict him after reviewing substantial evidence that he had committed crimes. That's how the criminal justice system work

A single man, William T. Howell, wrote the 1864 law that the AZ Supreme Court has revived to ban nearly all abortions in the state.

Women didn’t have the right to vote back then, and none had any say in the territory’s laws. But they can vote now. And they will have a big say.
