Rare agreement from both sides of the divide.

The Trump admin wants to open offshore drilling along the CA and FL coasts, and both Newsom & DeSantis are calling it out as a threat to the environment, tourism and coastal communities.

If these two are sounding the alarm together, you know it’s bad.

Trump's behavior crosses every line

Public officials must be free to speak without fear of political retaliation

Our democracy depends on that freedom👇
Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.

That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

Why are billionaires buying up media outlets?

As a media mogul, you can effectively hedge against democracy by suppressing criticism of yourself and other plutocrats and discouraging any attempt to tax away your wealth.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”
