Trump has gone to great lengths to make sure the files proving he is innocent from ever being released.

One source witnessed an FBI analyst have a breakdown while viewing the Epstein files. The analyst has kids the same age as the girls in the videos they were reviewing. I’ll cover this and more today at 3:30 PT / 6:30 PM ET here: youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

Thank you to Senator Ron Wyden for letting us know the MAGA Senate Republicans are trying to slide a nationwide abortion ban into the shutdown negotiations.

Hell no! They want to control every part of women’s lives and we aren’t having it.

F the patriarchy.

The Founders knew Congress - especially the House - was the backbone of U.S. democracy. It should be a huge story that Mike Johnson, serving Trump, has all but shut it down

He is so obviously mad and unfit it's just incredible there isn't a national conversation about his need to step down.
Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?

TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

Two private jets for Kristi Noem. Endless funding for ICE’s reign of terror. And now, a glorious new ballroom. But nothing for Americans on the brink of hunger.
Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.

It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

I have to admit I'm getting tired of all the Boomer bashing that goes on these days. Every voice matters and we need all hands on deck. Every single generation has its own unique challenges and opportunities. Those trashing any generation are a huge part of the problem. Better Together.

In case you have lost track, regarding the Jan 6th invasion and riot at the Capitol in 2021, since then, Trump has pardoned most of those involved in the assault, and fired over two dozen of the prosecutors. Not fair or just at all. What a criminal we have in TRUMP.
