DSA PLOT: CONSTITUTION OVERTHROW
The Democratic Socialists of America is drawing fire after a speaker declared the Constitution itself is the obstacle to “revolution,” a blunt line that has ignited outrage and sharpened the stakes in an already bitter political fight. The remarks, circulated online, frame the group’s platform in stark, alarming terms — and are already being seized on by critics as proof that the battle is not just over policy, but over the future of the country itself.

K2August 20, 2026
Standing 28,251 ft (8,611 m) high on the border of China and Pakistan, K2 is the second highest mountain in the world. Although the summit of Mt. Everest is at a higher altitude, K2 is considered a more difficult climb, due in part to its severe weather. Part of the Karakorum segment of the Himalayas, the peak was first scaled in 1954, but only a few hundred climbers have ever reached the summit—compared to the thousands who have ascended Everest. Why is the mountain called "K2"?
