It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

The pile of lies is stunning.

The occupation of HHS by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has crossed a line that should be UNACCEPTABLE by any American.

Congress needs to DO THEIR JOB and rid of us of this threat to our health, lives and national security. This is not hyperbole.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
