The Trump administration continues to portray immigrants as a violent threat— when the vast majority of immigrants are more law abiding than the average American citizen. Therefore — to make good on his promise of “mass deportation” — Trump has no choice but to scoop up

Brother Theo Wilson blasts these armchair activists who are trying to convince black people to abandon our Latin brothers and sisters in their hour of need. I was going to address it. But Theo says it best.

Elon Musk is gone from the federal government, but he left behind his personal army of DOGE minions. These unvetted, tech-savvy Musk loyalists are now in key positions. They have the ability to spy on everyone, steal our data and sabotage Trump — whenever Elon wants them to. If

When many people think of Trump voters, we still tend to think of white guys in red baseball caps. But millions of black voters backed Trump this time. So I asked three of them this week: “Would you do it again?” … The answers surprised me. My big takeaway: social media has put

I am a builder because we need one another. I've never seen a bird fly with just a left wing. I've never seen a bird fly with just a right wing. You need both sides to make progress. Why are you a builder? Let me know below.

Polarization doesn’t just live in headlines. It shows up at the dinner table, in group texts, and in the silence between people who love each other but can’t talk anymore. Many of us joined the Builders Movement because we were tired—tired of feeling exasperated, defensive,

Democrats have a lot of strong contenders for 2028 — including my governor, Gavin Newsom, whom I love, trust, and respect. Having known him for decades, I can tell you: Gavin would make a formidable candidate and a fantastic president. Also, Governors Shapiro, Pritzker,

People aren’t taking the “signal-gate” controversy seriously enough— mainly because no Americans got killed. But this mistake was egregious. And someone very well could have gotten hurt. And that “someone” could have been YOU. Or your family. Sharing sensitive national security

On a dead planet, nobody gets to vote. So protecting nature is perhaps the one thing that should not be about politics. That’s why I’m supporting @ninp_org an organization protecting the natural world in a way that is truly nonpartisan. For too long, environmental issues have

When Trump attacks judges, many Americans are alarmed because “bullying the courts” is a tactic straight out of the “authoritarian playbook.” In other words: would-be tyrants always try to intimidate, undermine and discredit all other centers of power. In the U.S. context, a

Call it whatever you want, but diversity made our military stronger. A lot of people misunderstand why the U.S. military turned to diversity trainings. We have the most ethnically diverse fighting force in world history. It’s not easy to get people to work together across lines

If you run a business in Mexico or Canada… if you are a European grandfather looking over the border at Russian aggression… if you are an African mother whose child needs life saving medicine— the question is this: CAN YOU TRUST AMERICA NOW? It’s a sad day that this question

There’s a lie that’s being sold to the American people: that because the Democrats lost, Trump can now throw out the rule book and do whatever he wants. Don’t fall for it. Trump still must get Congressional approval (plus a Supreme Court blessing) for most of his agenda— just

If a surgeon showed up to your child’s procedure with a chainsaw, you would grab the kid and run out the door. But this week Elon Musk went to conservative conference, waving a chainsaw for America’s government. And many alleged patriots cheered. I did not. Like all
