So yeah, Biden was admittedly, approximately our 17th choice for President. And while he started out strong and bracingly progressive, in his first year he's often floundered, winning some, losing many - too often because he somehow still believes, even now, in the tired myth of bipartisan civility. For once, on Monday, he spoke truth to malevolent idiocy in the blathering form of Fox News hack Peter Doocy. And many applauded: "Today is the day Joe Biden became presidential."

Political revenge. Mass deportations. Project 2025. Unfathomable corruption. Attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Pardons for insurrectionists. An all-out assault on democracy. Republicans in Congress are scrambling to give Trump broad new powers to strip the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit he doesn’t like by declaring it a “terrorist-supporting organization.” Trump has already begun filing lawsuits against news outlets that criticize him. At Common Dreams, we won’t back down, but we must get ready for whatever Trump and his thugs throw at us. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. By donating today, please help us fight the dangers of a second Trump presidency. |
