Khanna: Congress is talking about possible impeachment. They're talking about inherent contempt for the attorney general or deputy attorney general—any justice department official who has obstructed justice could face prosecution in this administration or a future administration.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

"By shouting things like 'our prices are coming down tremendously,' Trump is telling voters to 'reject the evidence of their eyes and ears.' But this is 2025, not 1984, and voters aren’t buying it."
The Hoax of Christmas Present
Polling and focus group data show voters across parties feel crushed by rising costs, even as Trump dismisses affordability concerns as a “hoax” that contradicts Americans’ lived reality.

About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.
New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

In Spencer, Ok, a MAGA POS hung a massive banner reading “ICE Needed Here” across from an elementary school; its red arrow aimed at his Hispanic neighbor’s home.
He scrawled “Deport Them All” nearby. Parents are furious. “My children go to this school. We will not tolerate this,” said one mom.

Donald Trump and Stephen Miller's immigration agenda isn't about going after the worst of the worst.
If that was what they were doing, they wouldn't be terrorizing entire neighborhoods and hardworking folks — including U.S. citizens — at car washes and Home Depot parking lots.
