Today in Oversight, Republicans argue essentially that any opportunity extended to women or marginalized people is an existential threat to white conservative men's ability to remain "king of the mountain."

The Senate must approve Sen. Sanders' JRDs to block the sales of offensive arms to the Israeli govt.

I’ve met with doctors who tried to save Palestinian children shot in the head.

I’ve sat with moms who watched their babies burn & die slowly in Israeli air strikes.

Congress must enforce US law.

It was not a landslide. It certainly was not an “unprecedented and powerful” mandate, as Donald Trump boasted. On Election Night 2024, as votes were still being counted, Americans were lead to believe that Trump had achieved a sweeping victory. In part, media outlets must assume part of the blame…
