America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

Trump is moving to immortalize himself with his name etched into coins, carved into pediments, and inscribed into marble. He wants to glorify himself in the most permanent ways possible.

We must not allow Trump to rewrite history with false tributes to himself.

For far too many families, the cost of childcare is driving them out of the city they love.

Sen. Kennedy on releasing all of the Epstein files: “I just don't think this issue is going to go away until that issue is addressed and answered to the American people's satisfaction. And I may end up with a sombrero on my head for saying that, but that's the way I see it.”

Megyn: The law recognizes no difference between raping an 8-year-old and raping a 15-year-old. Both victims are underage and therefore unable to provide consent. And you are an awful person for using that distinction to explain away the rape of underage girls. You wouldn't do that for Bill Clinton.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

Texas did redistricting to get more Republicans in Congress, so California did redistricting to get more Democrats in Congress.

Why is the Justice Department only concerned about California? It's not supposed to be political.

Across the country, voters support many of Zohran Mamdani's ideas, including:

-Increasing taxes on the rich
-Universal childcare
-Freezing rent
-Raising the minimum wage

Everything Democrats do must focus on enacting popular policies that help working people.

That is the path forward.

Watching Karoline Leavitt spew her usual misinformation and divisive nonsense makes me wonder, why isn’t there a People’s press secretary?

Someone who stands at a podium, tells the truth, and gets covered too.

Democracy deserves balance, not propaganda.

The notoriously litigious Donald Trump has been involved in over 4,000 lawsuits. The touchy litigant has even sued a network for editing an interview of someone else. But he has NEVER sued over allegations that his was a pedophile connected to Jeffrey Epstein. Hmm.
