A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading.

This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

Today we won a big victory in Texas but the fight for democracy is not over. We all need to steel ourselves for the battles ahead. We won't win them all, but we can never lose sight of what we need to do to prepare fee and fair elections.

RAJU: Given how dire things are for so many Americans right now, how do you justify the administration giving this big massive bailout to Argentina?

This land return and tule elk reintroduction is a significant milestone in California's relationship with the Tule River Indian Tribe.

We're taking critical steps to confront the historical wrongs committed by the state against the Native people of this land.

Rep. Jim Himes: "Fentanyl...comes out of Mexico, from the cartels there. There is cocaine coming out of Colombia, not so much Venezuela. So what we see there is a massive number of military assets deployed for purely performative reasons...It's purely performative."

Trump and Vought could keep SNAP benefits flowing if they wanted to. But for once in their lives, they claim not to have the legal authority.

Absolutely 💔heartbreaking.

The woman in the video is Jaykie Funez-Andrade, and the two goons are with ICE. Jaykie’s 16-year-old daughter, who recorded and shared the video, was pulled over on Oct. 27 on the way to school.
Jaykie presented her work permit, license, and registration to the goons.
