Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteries—three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.

Victims of the Texas floods are still dealing with the wreckage and waiting on more assistance from the state government.
What have Texas Republicans been prioritizing?
Gerrymandering the state's U.S. Congressional maps ahead of schedule because Trump asked them to.

Reminder that as a corporate lobbyist, Pam Bondi represented scores of clients facing federal regulatory scrutiny — including Amazon, Uber, and GM.
She also represented the government of Qatar and ICE contractor GEO Group.

Sixty years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law - securing health care for millions and saving countless lives. As GOP politicians try to tear them down, it's up to us to protect and expand these programs for Americans who rely on them today and for future generations.
