For those surprised by this disturbing news, remember that criminality just comes naturally to this administration. They break the law like the rest of us breathe and are always eager for another chance to act like crooks.
DOJ won’t meet Friday deadline to release all the Epstein files
The delay means the White House is in apparent conflict with a law President Donald Trump signed in November.

More than 20 million Americans are staring down the barrel of skyrocketing healthcare costs in the new year.
Instead of holding a vote to extend the ACA tax credits and stop this crisis in its tracks, Speaker Johnson chose to shut Congress down early and go home.
How cruel is that?

While the tragedy at Bondi Beach weighs heavily on our minds and hearts, I pray our Jewish neighbors know only a happy and peaceful first night of Hanukkah.
May this Festival of Lights bring them joy at a time when it is most needed.

Jewish families deserve to feel safe and be safe in every corner of our world.
My heart goes out to the victims of the devastating terrorist attack in Sydney, and the entire Jewish community in this moment of terrible grief.
Antisemitism and hate are evils upon our world — they must be defeated.

My prayers are with the Brown University community, tonight.
Americans should not have to accept this horrible, heartbreaking violence as an inevitability in their nation.
Gun violence exists only because those in power allow it to. When will they wake up and end the tragedies?

If Congress’ goal is truly to protect kids online, the best way to do so is through a federal data-privacy standard that prioritizes their safety today and can adapt to the technologies of tomorrow.

On Trump’s orders, DHS has condemned countless of our migrant neighbors to horrific detention centers where they've suffered abuse, faced vile conditions, and even lost their lives.
I joined @jayapal.house.gov's shadow hearing yesterday, because these atrocities cannot remain hidden in the dark.

No matter how many masked thugs Donald Trump sics on our immigrant neighbors or how desperately he tries to dehumanize their families, New York City and communities like it are going to stay sanctuaries to the oppressed and the powerless.

Our Somali-American neighbors have only ever made this nation stronger, more decent, and more whole. They will always have a home in our communities and our country.
I don’t care if Trump or any other bitter old bigot says differently – they’re all wrong, and so is the disgusting hate they preach.

Trump goes on another racist rant about Somalis: "Ilhan Omar should be thrown the hell out of our country, and most of those people -- they have destroyed Minnesota. It's a hellhole right now. Those Somalians should be out of here. They have destroyed out country ... go back to your own country."

Until Congress addresses the dire threat of algorithmic bias, Americans will continue to rely on their states to protect them from the many potential harms of unregulated AI and its unrestrained Big Tech masters.

Our committee has had at least 5 hearings over 5 years on the many threats to kids online.
How long do we have to keep restating the obvious?
It’s past time to stop talking and start acting.

It was on this day 70 years ago that Rosa Parks’ courageous and historic refusal to surrender her seat on a segregated city bus paved the way to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, redirecting the course of our nation and establishing her as one of our nation’s most transformative heroes.

May the shame of that failure forever stain our nation.

The administration’s rush toward war with Venezuela is reckless and unlawful.
I won’t stand by while we’re marched into another disastrous intervention. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority and stop this escalation.

The ONLY reason Speaker Johnson is defending death threats from the President of the United States is because he’s terrified of ending up on the wrong side of them.
Sooner or later, Donald Trump will come for us all, Mike.

It’s painfully clear that Trump resurrected the failed AI moratorium as a gift to his billionaire donors whose profits depend on their unfinished technology remaining unregulated.
Trump on AI: "You can't go through 50 states. You have to get one approval. 50 is a disaster. Because you'll have one woke state and you'll have to do all woke. You'll be back in the woke business. We don't have woke anymore in this country. It's virtually illegal. You'll have a couple of wokesters"

Once again, Trump is threatening to have his FCC attack dog collectively punish an entire network because one of its reporters asked him a tough question.
The Epstein Coverup clearly matters far more to him than the 1st Amendment ever could.
And it's not hard to figure out why.

Reporter: Mr. President, why wait for congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?
Trump: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude… I think the license should be taken away from ABC. We have a great commissioner, a chairman who should look at that.
