This is more than a media story — it’s a scandal.
Trump & co. broke the law to send people to face horrific torture, many of whom were innocent, and lied about it.
THIS Supreme Court held 9-0 that they violated due process laws.

Thanks to reintroduction programs, gray wolves became a wildlife recovery success story. Grey Wolf populations deserve the chance to thrive just like any other creature, removing them from the endangered species list will only threaten their survival.

Just as he did with tariffs, Trump is abusing “national security” justifications to raise prices for the American people — in this case electricity prices.
Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

Measles had been eliminated in the US, yet cases are spreading around the country. This worsening outbreak is a predictable result of the disinformation and anti-vaccine conspiracies spread by the Trump Administration.

Measles outbreaks worsen in South Carolina, Arizona and Utah
Nationally, the measles case count is nearing 2,000 for a disease that has been considered eliminated in the U.S. since 2000, a result of routine childhood vaccinations.

House Democrats' bill to extend the ACA tax credits is the only real plan to ensure that Americans' premiums don't skyrocket by the end of the year.

Donald Trump is using the White House to enrich himself, his family, and his allies while average Americans are struggling to afford basic needs.
It's wrong. Republicans should stand up to Trump and do something about it. No more excuses.

To be clear: Trump’s expanded travel ban is rooted in racism, not national security concerns. It’s plainly racist policy that does nothing to make our country safer.
Here is a map of the affected countries (excluding Tonga), to give you a sense of how much this new ban restricts immigration from Africa in particular.
Of the newly-added country, Nigeria faces the largest impact, with tens of thousands of visas issued every year to Nigerians.

Trump’s DOJ says it won’t meet today’s deadline to release the Epstein files. This smells like a White House cover-up.
The law requires ALL non-exempt records to be turned in by midnight.

While millions of Americans are losing health care, Republicans are going on another vacation.

Earlier this year Republicans passed a bill that stripped health care from millions of Americans.
That was a monstrous bill; today they are trying to pass a cowardly bill.
I spoke against their flimsy "health care" bill that fails to prevent skyrocketing health costs.
