As political violence surges, Trump shuts down a top prevention program. Former DHS official William Braniff talks about building an innovative model for stopping terrorism—and how its loss may harm America. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

Officers who reportedly pin down and punch immigrants may not conjure ideas of beauty to you and me. But for Trump, ICE inspires a reverence that mirrors fascist beauty ideals: "Strong, healthy, what is living." motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

"Since Israel’s founding, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide have been characteristics of its history and its treatment of Palestinians. The best way to cut through all the noise and cut through all the propaganda is to stay grounded in the universality of human rights"…

When you consider the past six months in their totality, it’s clear that it was a historic start to Trump’s second term...just not in the ways he thinks. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

The Epstein Saga isn’t over. The story of world’s most famous billionaire pedophile has never been fully told. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

Meanwhile, Cuomo went to a Hamptons fundraiser hosted by a billionaire, where he said he’d move to Florida if Mamdani wins. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

I know you feel that Trump in the first six months of his second term has made life worse. Here are the deets: motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

It's been six months since Trump returned to the White House, and the GOP is already claiming that the president has made America "safer, stronger, and more prosperous.” Millions of Americans would disagree. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

Dead billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has indeed been experiencing a remarkable moment of renewed relevance. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

National conservatives have a very specific view of “nation”—and the Republican Party is embracing it. From 2024: motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

The White House hagiography of Trump's first six months back in office has kicked into high gear. But let's take a factual look at what he's really done so far—for @MotherJones: motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

Dismantling the federal government. Yanking support for poor and working-class Americans. Emboldening extremism. Six months in, Trump has made American life immeasurably worse. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

Thanks to a “surprising” decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals, the Trump administration is making it much more difficult for women fleeing gender-based violence in other countries to immigrate to the US. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

Critics say Obama’s MIA. But what if he’s building the left’s answer to the machine that propelled Trump? Garrison Hayes sits down with the former president to explore his long game. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to reinstate a policy that guarantees legal representation for detained immigrants deemed unfit to represent themselves in court. I wrote about this critical government-appointed counsel program here: motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

One judge gave an asylum-seeker time to respond in writing, which should have given them protections from deportation. ICE agents arrested them anyway. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

To me and you, members of this goon squad look like the guys who roam around America’s dead malls. But for MAGA, the ICE agents terrorizing immigrants are beautiful Americans that fit into the right's larger repudiation of gender fluidity, MeToo, etc. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

Trump claims that the Democrats have cooked up "the Epstein hoax.” Factcheck: Most of the noise about the Epstein files has arisen not from Dems but from MAGA—people who Trump now denounces as idiots and “past supporters.” motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

9 bankrupt healthcare companies. At least 50 hospitals impacted. One company at the heart of it all, making millions. This week, we dig into MPT, the real estate company gutting America’s hospitals—and making bank. revealnews.org/podcast/medica…
