They’re targeting New York Attorney General Letitia James for one reason: she had the courage to hold Donald Trump accountable.

This is political weaponization of our courts, plain and simple—and proof that when you stand up to corruption, they come for you.

Ken Paxton’s crimes are well known. But John Cornyn may be even more corrupt.

Cornyn was the deciding vote on the “Big Ugly Bill” — kicking millions off their healthcare to give his billionaire donors a tax cut.

That is corruption of the highest order.

We secured the 218th signature. The press conference was scheduled. Epstein’s survivors were ready to speak. So what did Republican leadership do?

They sent us home during a shutdown.

Bring Congress back. Swear @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social in. It’s time to vote to release the Epstein Files.

California is the first state to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of school meals.

DC politicians can talk all day about "Making America Healthy Again," but we've been walking the walk on boosting nutrition and removing toxic additives and dyes for decades.

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

The US Supreme Court has rejected an appeal by Ghislaine Maxwell against her sex-trafficking conviction.

Without providing an explanation, the court declined to hear Maxwell's appeal, which means her 20-year sentence will remain in place barring a presidential pardon.

The GOP Budget Law passed this summer will nearly double — and possibly triple — monthly health insurance bills for most Californians enrolled in our state's marketplace.

Republicans can either take immediate action to fix this or continue lying about making Americans pay more.

First they shut down the government. Then they tampered with federal workers’ emails to shift the blame. This is corruption in broad daylight.
Education Department employees surprised to find their email automatically changed to blame Democrats for shutdown
Five furloughed employees told NBC News they had put up nonpartisan out-of-office messages, only to see they were changed — without their permission — to partisan ones.

If you had posted “Trump is working with Project 2025” on October 3rd last year, every social media network would have hit you with false news strikes and demonetized your account.

Now, one year later, he can’t stop gloating about Project 2025.

Jesus spent most of his time healing the sick.

Today, we have politicians in Congress with “Christ-follower” in their Twitter bios — but they’re trying to kick the sick off their healthcare.

And they’re willing to shut down the government to do it.
