Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

YOUR PRESSURE JUST FORCED A WIN IN THE HOUSE.

After millions of calls, texts, and emails from folks, House Dems forced through an ACA subsidy expansion to stop premiums from rising.

We’re taking that same pressure straight to the Senate — and this is just the start. Bolder action comes next.

He’s a fundamentally fake and unconstitutional lawyer,
To my Republican colleagues, the Vice President is spitting in your face and openly flouting your constitutional authority.

Time to decide if you came here to be a Member of Congress or a cheerleader for whatever Trump wants.

It’s time for the President to act like a President for ALL of the United States.

It’s time for the Speaker of the House to ACT like the man of faith he claims to be.

It’s time to fulfill the promises that were made and DELIVER for the people of Los Angeles.

American Samoans, unique among *everyone* born in US states or territories, are denied US citizenship.

That means they are banned from voting.

That's made some a target of vicious GOP prosecution for fraud; even if they were told incorrect info from public officials.

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).

Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

This is *definitely* how you behave when you're trying to bring every resource to bear, rather than trying to cover up the unlawful behavior of your own personnel.
