Israel has killed 249 journalists in the last 2 years.

That's more than were killed in WWII & the Vietnam War put together.

A Vermonter, Dylan Collins, was wounded in one of these attacks, which killed another reporter. This war against journalists must be investigated & ended.

Another way Trump drives up your costs?

He sidelined the cops who make sure banks and payday lenders follow the law.

Last year those cops ordered more than a billion dollars returned to Americans who were cheated.

This year Trump is letting the cheaters keep YOUR money.

Kristi Noem, your options are limited:

You either resign;
Your supreme leader fires you;
Or you will be impeached.

Today, I took the first step towards your impeachment, and called on the Judiciary Committee to open an investigation into your lawlessness.

This is about truth and justice—for victims and survivors. These subpoenaed photos from the Epstein estate are deeply disturbing and raise serious questions about who knew what, and when—which is exactly why the files need to be released.

The Epstein Files Act is law. Trump can release them today.
🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world.

Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!

So great to see so many Hoosier state senators stand up to Trump and say, “No.” His hold on the party is breaking.

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data.

My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

In March 2020, I predicted that mail-in voting would be the defining issue.

I spent 2022 warning about rightwing voter challenges.

In 2024, the GOP was preparing to block certification if Trump lost.

In 2026, it will be DOJ use of voter data to undermine state election administration.

Democrats have been willing to negotiate.

We’ve offered compromises to extend the health care tax credits so millions do not see their insurance premiums double.

Every time, congressional Republicans have turned us down and refused to stand up for their own constituents.

We spend twice as much per capita on health care as almost any nation on Earth. We pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world. 85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured.

Republicans — pathetically — have nothing serious to say about the health care crisis.

Q: If DOJ doesn't release the files it has by next Friday, is there anything Congress can do to compel that to happen?

MASSIE: It's a crime if they don't. This is a new law with criminal implications if they don't follow it.

A majority of Indiana Senate Republicans stood together to reject Trump’s mob-boss politics.

There is more power in standing up to a corrupt, unpopular administration rather than playing its game.

Law firms, universities, foundations, and media companies should take note.
