I will not be buying any World Cup tickets or merchandise due to FIFA’s collaboration with the Trump regime.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

This is what members are worried about ….
Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune & he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process - if & when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty - they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."

“It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said.

Donald Trump spent months trying to tell Americans his tariffs weren't raising costs and that rising prices aren’t a problem.

Now, his plan to bring down costs is to roll back just a few of the tariffs that he imposed in the first place.

It’s time to repeal ALL of Trump’s reckless tariffs.
