The economy is losing jobs and prices are going up.

Trump's tariffs are economic arson, plain and simple.

Republicans could join with Democrats any day of the week to put an end to them.

ICE’s gross abuse of power is out of control.

What happened to Rep. Grijalva while exercising lawful oversight is outrageous and unacceptable.

When are House Republicans going to finally exercise their oversight duty and rein in this lawlessness?

There’s no telling how many similar stories are not being told for fear of retaliation.

By now, everyone should realize Trump is not going after violent criminals or the worst of the worst—he is terrorizing everyone, including U.S. citizens, and their loved ones.

I am calling for Wilmer’s immediate release from NWIPC—he has NO criminal convictions, he poses no threat to the community, and he urgently needs appropriate medical care since ICE is denying him the treatment he requires.

I am grateful for Wilmer’s willingness to let me share his story.

Vaccinating babies against hepatitis B is a simple recommendation that saves lives—one based on solid science, & that has led to a dramatic drop in preventable infections and deaths.

Ending this recommendation will cost lives. RFK Jr. must answer to Congress.

The new chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said the panel plans to vote to end universal hepatitis B vaccination at birth and to scrutinize if childhood shots cause allergies.

This story sums up Trump: No need for evidence. No need for laws or treaties. No need for discussions. If Trump decides (based upon whatever random information or maybe just heartburn) that someone is in the wrong, he believes he has the right to kill them.

The US is now a rogue nation.

Gen Z is spending more on essentials than previous generations, yet their wages aren't keeping up.

It's no wonder they aren't "spending like retailers need them to."

When 70% of the economy depends on consumer spending, people need money to spend. It's as simple as that.

Senate Republicans just handed David Bragdon a LIFETIME judicial appointment— a man who compared abortion to murder and said women "must face the consequences" for their "poor judgment."

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.

Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.

And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.

Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

It's a power grab.

The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Grady Judd was appointed by Trump to a federal council meant to help exploited kids.

But in Judd’s own department back home, a child victim was made out to be a liar, leaving her abuser free to assault her again.
Police didn’t believe a 12-year-old who said she'd been raped. Then she hit record.
