WASHINGTON (AP) — During his first term as president, Donald Trump tested the limits of how he could use the military to achieve policy goals. If given a second term, the Republican and his allies are preparing to go much further, reimagining the military as an all-powerful tool to deploy on U.S. soil.

"Felony disenfranchisement echoes policies of the past, like poll taxes and literacy tests," an advocate said.

The Sentencing Project on Thursday released a report estimating that 4 million U.S. adults are ineligible to vote in the 2024 election due to felony disenfranchisement, including a disproportionate number of people of color.

Running for president and keeping an iron grip on the once-noble Green Party has become Stein’s singular mission. And she’s killing the Party — and its once-sterling reputation — in the process.

Jill Stein doesn’t give, as the old saying goes, a flying f*ck about democracy. Instead, she’s all about how famous she can become and how much money she can grift off her repeated presidential campaigns. It’s a damn dangerous game.

Rightwing tech lords are betting that Vance will be the Republican presidential pick in 2028. They’re probably right

JD Vance, the Republican candidate for vice-president, will almost certainly be the Republican presidential candidate in 2028, regardless of whether Donald Trump wins in November.

Not quite clear how this agreement silences the "city" but doesn't restrict what the mayor and councillors can say.

Modern buildings tend to take electricity and air conditioning for granted. They often have glass façades and windows that can’t be opened. And when the power goes out for days in the middle of a heatwave, as the Houston area experienced in July 2024 after Hurricane Beryl, these buildings can become unbearable.

Yet, for millennia, civilizations knew how to shelter humans in hot and dry climates.

Policymakers in both the U.S. and Europe are undertaking increasingly brazen acts of escalation in Ukraine.

Designed to bring Russia to the breaking point.

If you’re not thinking about the end of the world by now, you’re either braindead or stuck in some remote corner of the world, totally removed from access to news.

Earlier this month we came closer to a nuclear conflict between the U.S. and Russia than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.

Today we are even closer.
