Raskin: "In the very presence of the victims and survivors, the Speaker said that 'now is a time we should be working on urgent legislative work.' Mr Speaker, justice is urgent legislative work. The truth is urgent legislative work. You were the one who refused to swear in Rep. Grijalva for 50 days"

The Department of Justice (DOJ) quietly shared state voter-registration data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), despite earlier assurances to state election officials that the information would only be used for routine voter-list maintenance. Beginning in May 2025, DOJ

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not just the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

Mary K. Bruce deserves recognition for asking the real questions!!!
I was right. The question took Trump and MBS by surprise.
The reporter was Mary K. Bruce of ABC News.
She also asked about the murder Jamal Khashoggi.
Good for her and ABC News. It’s refreshing and rare to see actual journalism in the Trump White House.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:
“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Listen…If y’all want to talk honesty, then let’s be honest about all of it.
The promises, the hypocrisy, the receipts.
Because what you campaigned on and what you’re doing? Two very different things.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
