Oversight Democrats are not backing down.

If Les Wexner claims he doesn’t remember, then he needs to turn over his financial records and let the money tell the story.

Survivors deserve justice. It’s time for the cover-up to end.

Peters to ICE/CBP officials: "How can you expect any US citizen to follow orders from an unidentified, masked man surrounding them, given we know there are these impersonators out there who according to the FBI are committing a lot of crime?"

I’d vote for you, btw. I don’t live in your district. Wish we had someone like you in mine.

My law firm intervened in every case DOJ has filed to gain access to states' sensitive voting data. So far we have won several and lost none. But this is going to be a long fight for free and fair elections.

Remember A Bugs Life? Where the ants worked all year to stockpile food and the grasshoppers flew in once a year and confiscated it? Until Flick, an ant, pointed out that there were a lot more ants than grasshoppers. Where is our Flick?

We already have one. His name is Marc Elias
Easy to agree with Elie here. I don't think an "elections czar" will do it, but every state-level official who cares about democracy - and a battalion of lawyers - better buckle up for what's coming.
Trump and the Republicans are trying to rig the election. That's not being a "doomer," that's acknowledging reality.
Democrats need a coordinated, national response to these coordinated, national attacks. We need an "Elections Czar"

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

"So what does he say? He says he's going to put a 10% cap on interest rates. You know what he hasn't done? Put a 10% cap on credit card interest rates. There's all sorts of things that come out of the man's mouth."

Too often we talk about what he's talking about, instead of what he's doing.

Jimmy Kimmel started something. Now we need some NFL player offering T$ump his Super Bowl ring, and some star offering their Oscar. Maybe he’d back down if he had enough prizes.

the police raid on the marion county record was so astonishing because it was pretty much the first of its kind in the united states. once that line was crossed—even at a small local newspaper—we couldn't go back. and now here we are, with the FBI carrying the torch.

"In a dictatorship...once this process begins, it is hard to stop.

If they don't like strongman rule, they think, they can just elect someone else the next time. This misses the point. If you help a strongman come to power, you are eliminating democracy. You burn that bridge behind you.

Munson: In Oklahoma, Republicans have been in charge of state government for two decades, and nothing has improved. In fact, everything has gotten worse. On every good list, we’re at the bottom, and on every bad list, we’re at the very top.

While many Republicans running for Congress in swing districts are going to try to distance themselves from Trump, Miller, Kash, Hegseth, RFK Jr, et al, they enabled ALL of it. They all supported Mike Johnson for Speaker, who abdicated all oversight and congressional authority.
