Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

A former Trump official is planning a multi-billion-dollar data center project in Greenland.
The project would be several times bigger than any active data center on Earth.
It also has yet to secure land or approvals from the local authorities.

A former Trump official wants to build a massive data center in a remote corner of Greenland. Will it work?
Construction is yet to begin on the facility, but it's aiming to hit a capacity of 1.5 gigawatts by the end of 2028.

On the anniversary of Citizens United, I have one thing to say: get big money out of politics!
Elections belong to the people, not billionaire donors, corporations, and dark money. The people.
This MUST be a top priority when we take back the House. It’s time to overturn Citizens United!

Public safety means stopping violent crime — not weaponizing ICE against our communities.
That’s why I'm proposing a bill that redirects nearly $75 billion from ICE to local law enforcement.

I just introduced an amendment to hold Pam Bondi in civil contempt of Congress.
Since August, she has been legally compelled by our bipartisan subpoena to release the full Epstein files.
Without the files, we can't have a serious investigation. It's time she answer for her role in this cover up.

We cannot normalize this federal occupation of Minneapolis.
It is not normal to watch people abducted in front of our eyes—dragged from car windows, pulled from their homes, and children left without parents.
This is not about immigration. It’s about unchecked cruelty.
