I'm watching the live Texas redistricting debate and they are OUTRIGHT ADMITTING that the gerrymandering is to get Republicans elected and to keep Dems from being elected.

They literally asked the lawyers to draft maps that would do that.

Disturbing reports from courthouses across California.

If someone is doing what they were supposed to and attending their court hearing, this is not the answer.

We need real solutions to our broken immigration system, not just fear, intimidation and family separation.
BREAKING: Video shows ICE using a new tactic of dismissing immigration cases – including for innocent people – then immediately arresting people outside of the courtroom. This is sickening.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody."

But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies.

Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

The year after Trump’s last tax giveaway, Amazon paid $0 in federal income taxes, while the typical Boston public school teacher paid about $10,000.

I asked Senate Republicans: Can we agree that no billionaire corporation should get another tax handout?
