Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

We agree with First Lady Melania Trump’s call for a public hearing with the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. We encourage Chairman Comer to respond to the First Lady’s request and schedule a public hearing immediately.

Trump's "free" ballroom is costing the taxpayers hugely.

After Mittal Arcelor, a foreign steel producer, volunteer to "give" Trump $37 million worth of foreign steel to build his ballroom, Trump immediately granted them tax exemptions worth hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

Attorney General. Fired Attorney General. That doesn’t matter. Our bipartisan subpoena stands.

Pam Bondi buried millions of Epstein files, knows why they remain hidden, and she must testify — or face contempt.

Why doesn’t she want to come?

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

15 people have died in ICE custody JUST THIS YEAR.

That is 1 death a week.

Under this regime, 2026 is set to be the deadliest year for ICE detention EVER.

The need for guardrails and meaningful oversight could not be more urgent.

Donald Trump just threatened to unilaterally destroy an entire civilization.

Is there genuinely no limit to what Republicans will allow this unhinged, unwell man to do?

Congress must come back to Washington to rein in this dangerous behavior immediately.

The President just threatened genocide.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law.

Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.

Donald Trump is openly threatening war crimes against the entirety of Iranian civilization.

25th Amendment proceedings must begin immediately, but if the Cabinet is too cowardly, the House should begin the impeachment process now.

Trump is trying to take over voting in America, but the pushback from the courts, state officials, and voters has been fierce and increasingly successful. bit.ly/4cbhF1U

Ann Coulter blaming “legal experts” is pure deflection.

Trump was breaking the law all through his first term, openly, repeatedly, proudly.

Legal experts weren’t “crying wolf.”

They were documenting the wolf in real time.

The people who set him on this path? Enablers like her.👇

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

The nonexistence of mass voter fraud is an empirically proven scientific fact. It is equivalent to knowing where the sun rises, or whether water has both adhesive & cohesive qualities or whether the Earth is spherical. Political journalists need to start acting based on that known empirical reality.

Turns out Donald Trump voted by mail. Again.

It's almost like mail-in voting is safe, secure and makes voting easier. 🤔
